Aspirin and Rintatolimod With or Without Interferon-alpha 2b in Treating Patients With Prostate Cancer Before Surgery (NCT03899987)

Randomized Phase 2 Study: Neoadjuvant Conditioning of Prostate Cancer Tumor Microenvironment Using a Novel Chemokine-Modulating Regimen

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Roswell Park Cancer Institute

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase II trial studies how well enteric-coated (EC) aspirin and rintatolimod with or without interferon-alpha 2b work in treating patients with prostate cancer before surgery. EC Aspirin may help to keep the prostate cancer from coming back. Rintatolimod may stimulate the immune system and interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Interferon-alpha 2b may improve the body's natural response to infections and may slow tumor growth. It is not yet known how well rintatolimod, EC aspirin, and interferon-alpha 2b work in treating patients with prostate cancer undergoing surgery.
