Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the vaccine FK-PC101 works to delay or prevent the return of prostate cancer in men who have had surgery to remove their prostate cancer. It will also learn about the safety of FK-PC101. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does FK-PC101 delay or prevent the return of prostate cancer following surgery? What medical problems do participants (subjects) have when taking FK-PC101? Researchers will compare FK-PC101 to current treatment practice to see if FK-PC101 works to prevent or delay the return of prostate cancer following surgery to remove the prostate cancer tumor. Subjects will: Have a sample of the prostate cancer tissue collected at the time of surgery to remove this tissue from the body. This tissue will then be used to create a personalized vaccine that is specific to your prostate cancer. If randomly selected to receive the vaccine, subjects will receive the vaccine up to 7 times over a 6-month period. In addition to the treatment visits for those randomized to receive FK-PC101, there will be up to 4 follow up visits to the clinic over a 22-month (nearly 2 year) period. For subjects randomized to receive current treatment practice, they will be asked to attend up to 8 visits over 22 months to track if there is any detectable cancer. Should their prostate cancer return within a year following surgery, they will be eligible to receive FK-PC101, which already had been produced and thus no additional tumor tissue would need to be obtained. Subjects in both study arms will have regular blood tests and scans to test whether their prostate cancer has returned.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests FK-PC101, a personalized cancer vaccine, as an additional treatment for men with high-risk prostate cancer after their prostate is surgically removed. The vaccine is custom-made from each patient's own tumor and is given to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a man with high-risk or very high-risk localized prostate cancer - You are scheduled for a prostatectomy (surgical removal of the prostate) in 3–14 days - Your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is above 4 ng/mL - There is no evidence of cancer spread to other parts of your body - After surgery, your PSA drops to an undetectable level and your tumor is confirmed as high-grade **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already received or plan to receive radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or other cancer treatments before or after surgery - Your cancer has spread beyond the prostate to distant sites - Your blood counts or organ function are below required thresholds after surgery - Your life expectancy is less than 5 years Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALFK-PC101

Up to 7 doses of FK-PC101 will be administered intradermally between Day 1 and Day 180. The immune adjuvant Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) will be given concurrently with Dose 1 (day 1) and Dose 2 (day 8).

BIOLOGICALStandard of Care (SOC)

Subject receives Investigator-defined standard of care, excluding adjuvant therapy. If prostate cancer recurs before 12 months after radical prostatectomy, subjects are eligible to receive up to 7 doses of intradermal FK-PC101 vaccine (first 2 given concurrently with BCG).
