SURVIVAL IN SIPULEUCEL-T (APC8015) CLINICAL TRIALS
Leonard Gomella , Mark Frohlich and the Investigators from D9901 and D9902A
Introduction and Objectives: Sipuleucel-T is an investigational, autologous, active cellular immunotherapy and is designed to elicit a specific T cell immune response against prostatic acid phosphatase in men with advanced prostate cancer.
Methods: As part of a large multi-center clinical trial, subjects were randomized (2:1) to sipuleucel-T or placebo. Eligible subjects had tumor progression following hormonal therapy and no visceral metastases.
Results: Survival results are presented in Table 1. Sipuleucel-T was generally well tolerated with a consistent pattern of Grade 1 and 2 treatment-related adverse events lasting 1 to 2 days.
Conclusions: Sipuleucel-T appears to provide a substantial survival advantage and a strong safety profile.
