To demonstrate that sipuleucel-T can be successfully manufactured for subjects with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) at a European manufacturing facility.
This was an open-label, uncontrolled, multi-center study. Study participants will underwent screening procedures to ensure that they met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects underwent a standard 1.5 to 2.0 blood volume leukapheresis, followed approximately 3 days later by an infusion of sipuleucel-T. This process was be repeated at approximately 2-week intervals for a total of 3 infusions. In Austria, The Netherlands, and France, a study completion visit occurred between 30 and 37 days post-final infusion, or between 30 and 37 days post-final leukapheresis for subjects not receiving at least 1 infusion. In the UK, a follow-up visit occurred 30 days after the subject's final infusion and a study completion visit occurred 6 months after the subject's final infusion.

Each dose of sipuleucel-T contains a minimum of 50 million autologous CD54+ cells activated with PAP-GM-CSF. The recommended course of therapy for sipuleucel-T is 3 complete doses, given at approximately 2-week intervals.

Cumulative CD54+ Cell Count
Descriptive summarization of the cumulative sum of CD54+ counts across infusions. Cumulative CD54 upregulation = CD54 upregulation for infusion 1 + CD54 upregulation for infusion 2 + CD54 upregulation for infusion 3
Time frame: Before and after culture with PAP-GM-CSF, on Day 3 (first infusion) and on approximately Days 17 and 31 (second and third infusion, respectively)
Cumulative CD54 Upregulation
The increase in surface CD54 on APCs, expressed as an upregulation ratio of the average number of molecules on post-culture versus pre-culture cells. Cumulative CD54 upregulation = CD54 upregulation ratio for infusion 1 + CD54 upregulation ratio for infusion 2 + CD54 upregulation ratio for infusion 3.
Time frame: Before and after culture with PAP-GM-CSF, on Day 3 (first infusion) and on approximately Days 17 and 31 (second and third infusion, respectively)
Cumulative Total Nucleated Cell (TNC) Count
Descriptive summarization of the cumulative sum of TNC counts across infusions
Time frame: Before and after culture with PAP-GM-CSF, on Day 3 (first infusion) and on approximately Days 17 and 31 (second and third infusion, respectively)
Product Viability (Percentage)
Product viability was measured as the percentage of live PBMC in final product for infusion 1, 2, and 3 as measured by a trypan blue assay and are reported for each final product for infusion 1, 2, and 3.
Time frame: Before and after culture with PAP-GM-CSF, on Day 3 (first infusion) and on approximately Days 17 and 31 (second and third infusion, respectively)
