Subjects will be randomized to Arm A (vaccine only) or Arm B (androgen deprivation therapy plus vaccine). On Arm A, subjects can begin the three vaccinations immediately. On Arm B, subjects will be started on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) 14 days prior to beginning the vaccinations. Subjects will be vaccinated three times, each injection administered at 30-day intervals. Based upon our earlier clinical trial, the vaccine is considered safe and should not induce any major side effects. The investigators hope that vaccination with this PSA virus will cause the body to produce immunity to the PSA and that immunity will destroy any cell that produces PSA. Since the only cells left in the body that produce PSA will be the cancer cells, the investigators propose that the vaccination and ensuing anti-PSA immunity will kill the prostate cancer cells. Importantly, this treatment should not cause any major side effects as would treatment with anti-cancer drugs.
