Autologous Cellular Immunotherapy

Prostatic Neoplasms

<section class="Section" data-sectioncode="34089-3"><a name="s27"></a><a name="section-10"></a><p></p><h1>11 DESCRIPTION </h1><p class="First">PROVENGE (sipuleucel-T) is an autologous cellular immunotherapy available as a suspension for intravenous infusion. PROVENGE consists of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells, including antigen presenting cells (APCs), that have been activated during a defined culture period with a recombinant human protein, PAP-GM-CSF, consisting of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), an antigen expressed in prostate cancer tissue, linked to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), an immune cell activator. Each dose of PROVENGE contains a minimum of 50 million autologous CD54                    <span class="Sup">+</span> cells activated with PAP-GM-CSF, suspended in 250 mL of Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP.               </p><p>The active components of PROVENGE are autologous APCs and PAP-GM-CSF. During culture, the recombinant antigen can bind to and be processed by APCs into smaller protein fragments. The recombinant antigen is designed to target APCs, and may help direct the immune response to PAP. Minimal residual levels of the intact PAP-GM-CSF are detectable in the final PROVENGE product. </p><p>The patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells are obtained via a standard leukapheresis procedure approximately 3 days prior to the infusion date. Due to the autologous nature of PROVENGE, it is important that the patient and physician adhere to the personalized leukapheresis and infusion schedules. </p><p>The cellular composition of PROVENGE is dependent on the composition of cells obtained from the patient's leukapheresis. In addition to APCs, the final product contains T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and other cells. The number of cells present and the cellular composition of each PROVENGE dose will vary. </p><p>The potency of PROVENGE is in part determined by measuring the increased expression of the CD54 molecule, also known as ICAM-1, on the surface of APCs after culture with PAP-GM-CSF. CD54 is a cell surface molecule that plays a role in the immunologic interactions between APCs and T cells, and is considered a marker of immune cell activation. </p><p>In-process and final sterility tests are initiated prior to shipping, but the final results are not available for up to 7 days. PROVENGE is released for shipping based on acceptable results from 2-day incubation of the in-process sterility test. </p></section>
