Ibrutinib as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Localized Prostate Cancer

NCT02643667

Description:

30-40% of patients who undergo radical prostatetecomy (RP) with curative intent for their localized prostate cancer experience relapse of their disease. Thus, improved therapeutic approaches are needed in this patient population. Enhancing the patient's anti-tumor immune response prior to surgery may improve long-term outcomes following RP.

             tissue sufficiency is not required for study eligibility.

          -  The effects of ibrutinib on the developing human fetus is unknown. Men treated or
             enrolled on this protocol must agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study,
             for the duration of the study participation, and for 3 months after completion of
             treatment.

        Exclusion Criteria:

                  considered by the Principle Investigator on a case by case basis based on their
                  potential for hormonal or anti-cancer therapies.

                  day 1 of ibrutinib therapy, but detection of HBV DNA in these patients will not
                  exclude study participation.

             to the first dose of study drug

          -  Concurrent active malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers. Patients are
