Summary
This trial will test different doses of TNFerade in combination with radiation to see which is the most effective at treating prostate cancer while also having the least side effects.
Who is the study for?
Men with high-risk localized prostate cancer, without distant metastases but possibly with pelvic lymph node involvement. They must have a hemoglobin level above 10 mg/dl, platelets over 100,000/l, and normal liver function. Participants should not have had chemotherapy recently or be unable to undergo daily radiation therapy due to other health issues.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing TNFerade™ Biologic combined with radiation against prostate cancer. TNFerade is an experimental gene transfer therapy designed to enhance the effectiveness of radiation treatment by being injected directly into the tumor.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed in the provided information. However, as a gene transfer therapy used alongside radiation, possible side effects could include local reactions at injection sites, fatigue from radiation, and typical risks associated with gene therapies such as immune responses.
