Few treatment options are currently available for patients with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Second line hormonal approaches are effective for a median of 3 months’ time but have never been shown to prolong survival. Until recently, docetaxel was the only FDA-approved therapy for mCRPC that has been shown to extend survival. Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cellular immunotherapy treatment. In an initial Phase 3 study, a significant effect on the primary endpoint of time to disease progression was not demonstrated, but a 4.5-month improvement in median survival compared to control was observed. A subsequent phase III study of sipuleucel-T in 512 men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic CRPC, resulted in a 4.1-month improvement in median survival compared to control. The most common adverse events observed in sipuleucel-T treated patients in randomized trials have been chills, fatigue, fever, back pain, nausea, joint ache, and headache. The survival benefit, adverse event profile, and short course of treatment (4 weeks) associated with sipuleucel-T therapy make it an appealing treatment option for asymptomatic metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer patients.
