Summary

This trial is comparing the effects of a drug called Poly-ICLC (Hiltonol®) versus no treatment on prostate cancer patients who are being monitored closely but not actively treated.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for men with prostate cancer who are being closely monitored (active surveillance) instead of immediate treatment. Specific eligibility details aren't provided, but typically participants must meet certain health standards and not have conditions that could interfere with the study.

What is being tested?

The study is testing Hiltonol® (Poly-ICLC), which will be given as shots into a muscle or directly into the tumor. It's a phase II pilot study to see if this treatment can benefit those on active surveillance compared to no treatment at all.

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects for Poly-ICLC are not listed here, similar treatments may cause flu-like symptoms, injection site reactions, fatigue, and possibly mild fever.
