Summary
This trial is studying a combination of three drugs as a possible treatment for people with prostate cancer.

What is being tested?
The trial tests if the combination of PROSTVAC, CV301, and MSB0011359C (M7824) can trigger an anti-tumor response in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Patients will receive these drugs over at least 7 months and undergo regular monitoring including blood tests, scans, and physical exams.
