TriAdeno and N-803 vaccine in early prostate cancer on active surveillance
Official title: Phase II Trial of a Multitargeted Recombinant Ad5 PSA/MUC-1/Brachyury-based Immunotherapy (TriAdeno) Vaccine With IL-15 Superagonist N-803 in Participants With Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer Undergoing Active Surveillance
Run by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) · NCT07574541 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A vaccine combo called TriAdeno plus the N-803 drug is being tested to see if it can help slow or stop growth in men with early-stage, low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who are being watched rather than treated right away.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 years or older with organ-confined, low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer on active surveillance.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with advanced disease, non-organ-confined cancer, or significant comorbidity may not benefit from this therapy.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 2 interventional study evaluating a multitageted vaccine (TriAdeno) targeting PSA, brachyury, and MUC-1, combined with the IL-15 superagonist N-803. The trial enrolls adults with organ-confined, low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer who are on active surveillance. Participants receive subcutaneous injections of TriAdeno and N-803, with monitoring including physical exams, blood tests, heart function assessment, imaging, and possibly a rectal exam. The study aims to determine whether the combination can elicit an anti-tumor immune response and influence tumor progression in this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could delay progression and reduce the need for immediate treatment in men with early prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Vaccine strategies targeting tumor-associated antigens have shown immune responses in prior studies, though this exact TriAdeno/N-803 combination in localized prostate cancer is novel.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Histologically confirmed diagnosis of organ confined, low- or intermediate-risk PCa (Gleason grade group 1 or 2) identified in at least one prostate biopsy core. Biopsies performed at outside institutions should have Gleason score confirmed at the NCI by a genitourinary (GU) pathologist. * Participants must be on active surveillance. * Pre-study treatment tissue availability (at least one formalin-fixed paraffin embedded \[FFPE\] biopsy core or one H\&E-stained slide and at least 5 unstained slides) obtained between 3 and 24 months prior to treatment initiation is mandatory for study initiation. * Serum PSA level of \<20 ng/mL (or \<10ng/mL for participants being treated with 5- alpha-reductase inhibitors) * Clinical stage \<=T2a by digital rectal exam (DRE) * Age \>=18 years * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \<=1. * Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>=1.0 x 10\^9/L * Hemoglobin (Hgb) \>=9 g/dL * Platelets \>=75,000/mcL * Prothrombin International Normalized Ratio (INR) \<1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) * Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \<1.5 x ULN * Total bilirubin \<1.5 x ULN * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \<=2.5 x ULN * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \<=2.5 x ULN * Creatinine \<=1.5 x ULN OR --Calculated Creatinine clearance \>=40 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for individuals with creatinine levels above institutional normal (using either Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration \[CKD-EPI\] equation) * Treatment with steroid therapy must have a washout of at least 6 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment. Physiologic (replacement) doses of steroids as well as nasal, topical, or inhaled steroids are allowed. * Vaccination with a live (attenuated) vaccine (e.g., FluMist(R)) or a killed (inactivated)/subunit vaccine (e.g., PNEUMOVAX(R), Fluzone(R)) must occur not sooner than 28 days or 14 days, respectively, prior to initiation of study treatment. * Participants must agree to use an effective method of contraception (barrier, surgical sterilization, abstinence) for the duration of the study treatment and up to one (1) month after the last study drug injection. Participants must not freeze or donate sperm within the same period. * Participants must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent document. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: * Prior treatment for PCa by surgery, radiation, local ablative (i.e., cryosurgery or highintensity focused ultrasound), or androgen-deprivation therapy. * Evidence of PCa with metastatic disease. * Prior treatment with adenovirus-based vector immunotherapy, adenovirus-based vaccines, or investigational vaccines. * Prior solid organ or bone marrow transplant. * Immunodeficiency or splenectomy. * Presence of a known active acute or chronic infection, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), confirmed by PCR, and hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), as determined by hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and HCV serology. * History of autoimmune disease (active or past), except for autoimmune-related thyroid disease, type I diabetes, and vitiligo if the condition(s) is well controlled. * History of heart disease, such as congestive heart failure (class II, III, or IV defined by the New York Heart Association functional classification), history of unstable or poorly controlled angina, or history (\<1 year prior to initiation of study therapy) of ventricular arrhythmia. * Acute or chronic skin disorders that will interfere with injection into the skin of the extremities or subsequent assessment of potential skin reactions. * Second malignancy within 3 years prior to initiation of study therapy. Note: Individuals with curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancers or non-muscle invasive bladder cancer will not be excluded. * History of herbal products that may decrease PSA levels (e.g., saw palmetto). * Participants who have undergone surgery within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study therapy. * Participants receiving any other investigational agents within 30 days prior to initiation of study therapy. * History of allergic reaction attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to the study drugs. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness that would limit compliance with study requirements suggested by medical history, physical examination, or standard clinical assessments such as imaging, EKG, and laboratory studies.
