Purpose

Pembrolizumab will be administered at a dose of 200 mg will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion every 3 weeks. Enzalutamide will be administered at dose of 160 mg orally every day. All patients will be required to have at least one high-risk criteria.

Detailed Description

      The investigators propose to study the effects of pembrolizumab combined with intensive
      androgen receptor (AR) targeting prior to prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph node
      dissection in subjects with high-risk localized prostate cancer (HRLPC).

      Trial Design- single arm, single-stage, open label Phase II of neoadjuvant immune-hormonal
      therapy in high-risk localized prostate cancer.

      Objectives To evaluate efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab combined with intensive AR
      targeting prior to prostatectomy in subjects with high-risk localized prostate cancer
      (HRLPC).

      Primary Endpoint Pathologic complete response (pCR) defined as absence of detectable
      malignant cells in the prostatectomy specimen evaluated by standard histologic techniques.

InterventionExperimentalTreatment will be planned for a total of 14 to 16 weeks. Pembrolizumab will be administered every 3 weeks via IV infusion with a dose of 200 mg per infusion. Enzalutamide will be given orally and dispensed to the patient on the date of their first infusion. The dosage of Enzalutamide will be 160 mg, administered once daily for approx. 16 weeks. GNRH agonist therapy will be administered as a standard of care therapy and will follow a standard dosage to maintain castrate levels.
