If evaluable tissue is not available, the patient must agree to undergo a pre-vaccination prostate biopsy on study. For the CRPC lead in cohort, if histopathological documentation is unavailable, a rising PSA and a clinical course consistent with prostate cancer would be acceptable.
  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of PROSTVAC in combination with nivolumab, ipilimumab or both in participants <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.

  • All participants who have received prior vaccination with vaccinia virus (for smallpox immunization) must not have a history of serious adverse reaction to the vaccine.
  • The effects of PROSTVAC in combination nivolumab, ipilimumab or both on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason men must agree to use adequate contraception (abstinence, vasectomy) or female partner must use (intrauterine device (IUD), hormonal [birth control, pills, injections, or implants], tubal ligation] prior to study entry and for up to 7 months after the last dose.
  • Participants must understand and sign informed consent that explains the neoplastic nature of their disease, the procedures to be followed, the experimental nature of the treatment, alternative treatments, potential risks and toxicities, and the voluntary nature of participation.

  • granulocytes greater than or equal to 1,500/mcL
  • platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcL

  • Radiographic progression defined as any new or enlarging bone lesions or growing lymph node disease, consistent with prostate cancer OR
  • PSA progression defined by sequence of rising values separated by >1 week (2 separate increasing values over a minimum of 2ng/ml (PCWG2 PSA eligibility criteria). If participants had been on flutamide, PSA progression is documented 4 weeks or more after withdrawal. For patients on bicalutamide or nilutamide disease progression is documented 6 or more weeks after withdrawal.
  • Participants must agree to continuation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist/antagonist or bilateral orchiectomy
  • For all neoadjuvant cohorts:
  • Participants must be a surgical candidate for radical prostatectomy based on standard workup of PSA, biopsy results, and if necessary supplemental imaging.
  • Participants must have chosen radical prostatectomy as their definitive treatment of choice for management of their prostate cancer.
  • No systemic steroid or steroid eye drop use within 2 weeks prior to initiation of experimental therapy. Limited doses of systemic steroids to prevent IV contrast, allergic reaction or anaphylaxis (in patients who have known contrast allergies) are allowed.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior splenectomy.

  • those with other acute, chronic or exfoliative skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis, burns, impetigo, varicella zoster, severe acne or other open rashes or wounds) until condition resolves
  • pregnant or nursing women; children under 3 years of age
  • Participants should have no evidence, as listed below, of being immunocompromised:
  • HIV positivity due to the potential for decreased tolerance and risk for severe side effects.
