The PROVENGE Phase 3 IMPACT Trial Design

The pivotal IMPACT trial was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, controlled study in 512 men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).1

Primary endpoint: Overall survival

Secondary endpoint: Time to objective disease progression

The main goal of the IMPACT trial was not to lower PSA levels—it was to extend survival.

Trial Design1
IMPACT Trial (Immunotherapy for Prostate Adenocarcinoma Treatment) Trial

*Eligible patients were hormone refractory and had metastatic disease in the soft tissue and/or bone with evidence of progression; 18% had received prior chemotherapy (including docetaxel).
Control was nonactivated, autologous, peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Progression=radiographic evidence of disease progression.
§Autologous, peripheral blood mononuclear cells that were cryopreserved at the time of control generation and subsequently activated.

  • 64% of patients in the control group, following progression, crossed over to a
    nonrandomized, open-label protocol to receive an investigational autologous
    immunotherapy made from cryopreserved cells1
  • Treatment in the open-label protocol was at the physician’s discretion
