A Phase I Study of a DNA Vaccine Encoding Androgen Receptor Ligand-Binding Domain (AR LBD) +/-GMCSF

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must be at least 18 years of age with a histologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. * Participant must have metastatic prostate cancer (clinical stage D1 or D2 disease), with previously documented lymph node, soft tissue and/or bone metastases by radiographic imaging (including CT (or MRI) of abdomen and pelvis and bone scintigraphy). Participants in situations in which there is a reasonable clinical suspicion of a second primary tumor (or other non-prostate cancer reason for radiographic abnormalities) are not eligible unless metastatic disease is histologically confirmed to be prostate cancer. * Participant must have started androgen deprivation therapy (bilateral orchiectomy versus LHRH agonist, and with or without androgen antagonist) at least one month (4 weeks) prior to enrollment and no more than six months (24 weeks) prior to enrollment. Participant must continue the androgen deprivation therapy throughout the study period, and patients are not permitted to change the type of androgen deprivation therapy (e.g. by adding an androgen antagonist) during the course of investigational therapy. * Participant must have a serum testosterone \< 50 ng/dL demonstrated within 1 month of study entry. * Participant must either not be a candidate for docetaxel chemotherapy for newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer, as determined by their treating oncologist, or have declined this therapy * Participant must have evidence of response to androgen deprivation as defined by a documented decline in serum PSA values from pre-androgen deprivation treatment baseline and without evidence of PSA progression while on androgen deprivation (defined by PCWG2 criteria as a 25% increase in serum PSA and an absolute increase of 2 ng/mL over nadir). * Participant with a prior history of a second malignancy are eligible provided they have been treated with curative intent and have been free of disease greater than three years. There will be no exclusion for patients with a history of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell skin cancer, or other in situ carcinoma that has been adequately treated. * Participant who are sexually active must use a reliable form of contraception while on study and for 4 weeks after the last immunization. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score \< 2. * Participant must have adequate hematologic, renal and liver function as defined by: WBC \> 3000/mm3, hematocrit \> 30%, platelet count \> 100,000/mm3, serum creatinine \< 1.6 mg/dl or a calculated creatinine clearance \> 60 cc/min, and serum bilirubin \< 2.0 mg/dl, within 4 weeks prior to first immunization. * Participant must be informed of the experimental nature of the study and its potential risks and must sign an IRB-approved written informed consent form indicating such an understanding. Exclusion Criteria: * Small cell or other (non-adenocarcinoma) variant prostate cancer histology. * Participant cannot have evidence of immunosuppression or have been treated with immunosuppressive therapy, such as chemotherapy, chronic treatment dose corticosteroids (greater than the equivalent of 10 mg prednisone per day), or radiation therapy to \>30% of the bone marrow, within 6 months of the first vaccination. Treatment or salvage radiation therapy encompassing \< 30% of bone marrow must have been completed 4 weeks prior to the first vaccination. * Seropositive for HIV, hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) per participant history. * Participant previously treated with neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant androgen deprivation (e.g. with radiation therapy) prior to the 6-month eligibility period are allowed, assuming they did not meet criteria for progression (defined by PCWG2 criteria as a 25% increase in serum PSA and an absolute increase of 2 ng/mL over nadir) while on treatment. * Participant must not be concurrently taking other medications or supplements with known hormonal effects (other than LHRH agonists or non-steroidal anti-androgen), including PC-SPES, megestrol acetate, finasteride, ketoconazole, estradiol, or Saw Palmetto. All other medications with possible anti-cancer effects must be discussed with the Protocol Principal Investigator prior to study entry. * Participant previously treated with herbal supplements as described in 6.B.5, or other potential or experimental therapies for prostate cancer (apart from LHRH agonists and antiandrogens as described in 6.A.3 above), must have been discontinued these treatments and completed at least a one-month washout prior to first vaccination. * Participant must not have plans to receive concomitant chemotherapy, other biological or immune therapies, or radiation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer during the period of study treatment. * Participant must not have known psychological or sociological conditions, addictive disorders or family problems, which would preclude compliance with the protocol. * Participant must not have known allergic reactions to GM-CSF or the tetanus vaccine. * Prior treatment with another experimental anti-tumor vaccine is permissible. * Participant with unstable or severe intercurrent medical conditions or laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the Protocol Principal Investigator, excess risk associated with study participation or study agent administration. * Unable or unwilling to undergo two leukapheresis procedures. * Participant with medical conditions precluding leukapheresis. * Participant cannot have concurrent enrollment on other phase I, II, or III investigational treatment studies for the treatment of prostate cancer.
