The purpose of this study is to see how well PROSTVAC -V/F works in stopping prostate cancer from coming back or relapsing. This study will also look at the safety of PROSTVAC-V/F.
This study is for adult male patients who have recently undergone radical prostatectomy and are at high risk for relapse. The purpose of this study is to look at the effect PROSTVAC-V/F has in preventing or prolonging relapse after surgery. PROSTVAC-V/F is an investigational drug.

Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) at 2 Years Post-Prostatectomy
RFS is defined as the absence of relapse (PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL confirmed \>30 days later, radiographic metastasis, initiation of new prostate cancer therapy, or death) at 2 years after prostatectomy. The measure represents the proportion of participants who remain relapse-free at 24 months post-surgery.
Time frame: 2 years
Comparison of Observed vs. Predicted RFS
A secondary endpoint will be a comparison of the observed RFSs with the predicted ("virtual") RFS for the same patients based on clinical and pathologic information collected at baseline. The observed RFSs of the treated subjects are compared with the predicted RFSs as if the same subjects had not been treated. The comparison is performed using the logrank test of the observed and predicted RFSs. These represent the estimated RFSs for patients with those clinical characteristics if they did not receive any adjuvant therapy.
Time frame: 2 years
Observed Relapse Free Survival (RFS) With the RFSs of a Historical Comparison Group of MUSC Prostatectomy Patients.
No participants were analyzed for this outcome. Although the outcome was pre-specified in the protocol, the study was terminated early and the planned analysis comparing observed relapse-free survival (RFS) to a historical control group could not be completed. Additionally, the analysis population for this outcome was not clearly defined at the time of study closure, and no summary data were generated.
Time frame: 2 years
Associations Between RFS Values and Research Specimen
While most participants were assessed at the scheduled time points, no usable samples due to issues such as hemolysis, insufficient volume, or improper storage conditions rendered them unusable for the planned immunologic assays. No data are available for this outcome measure due to these technical limitations.
Time frame: 2 years
