Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether PROSTVAC alone or in combination with GM-CSF is effective in prolonging overall survival in men with few or no symptoms from metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

Detailed description:
BNIT-PRV-301 is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center, global Phase 3 efficacy trial of PROSTVAC in men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic, metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer. It is a 3-arm study and will evaluate overall survival in two separate comparisons, PROSTVAC plus adjuvant dose GM-CSF versus controls, and PROSTVAC without GM-CSF versus controls.

Patients will be randomized with equal probability into one of three double-blind arms. The intended interventions for randomized patients are:

1. (Arm V+G) PROSTVAC-V/F plus adjuvant dose GM-CSF
2. (Arm V) PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF placebo
3. (Arm P) Double placebo

Arms:
arm 1: * PROSTVAC-V-TRICOM
* PROSTVAC-F-TRICOM
* GM-CSF arm 2: * PROSTVAC-V-TRICOM
* PROSTVAC-F-TRICOM
* GM-CSF placebo arm 3: PROSTVAC V/F Placebo + GM-CSF Placebo

Interventions: intervention 1: PROSTVAC-V intervention 2: PROSTVAC-F intervention 3: GM-CSF intervention 4: GM-CSF Placebo intervention 5: Placebo

PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS 
Background and 
Rationale 
 
PROSTVAC™ (PROSTVAC-V and PROSTVAC-F; PROSTVAC-V/F) is a novel 
candidate prostate cancer immunotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is 
a viral vector based product that is administered in seven subcutaneous (sc) 
vaccinations, over a five month period. In a randomized controlled Phase 2 trial, 
PROSTVAC therapy was associated with a prolongation of survival in men with 
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). 
 
PROSTVAC is a PSA (prostate-specific antigen)-based immunization strategy. It is 
intended to generate immune responses to prostate specific antigens and prostate 
cancer cells. It uses poxviral vectors to introduce modified prostate-specific antigen 
(PSA) to the patient in an immunogenic manner to break self-tolerance, and 
thereby induce immune responses directed against prostate cancer cells. 
 
PROSTVAC is comprised of two component viral vectors; a recombinant vaccinia 
(PROSTVAC-V) and a recombinant fowlpox (PROSTVAC-F) virus to be used 
sequentially in a heterologous prime-boost vaccination regimen. Both viruses 
contain four human genes: prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and three genes 
encoding human immunological costimulatory molecules: B7.1, intercellular 
adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and leukocyte function-associated antigen-3 (LFA-
3) (designated TRIad of COstimulatory Molecules or TRICOM). The simultaneous 
expression of PSA and TRICOM enhances the immune response. The PSA 
transgene is modified at one amino acid (I155L), to enhance binding and 
immunogenicity of a particular peptide epitope in human leukocyte antigen (HLA-
A2)-expressing patients. 
 
PROSTVAC-V/F is the outcome of more than 15 years of poxviral vector 
development and evaluation by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the former 
Therion Biologics Corporation, and Bavarian Nordic, Inc. Over 570 patients have 
been treated with related PSA-containing poxviral vectors, and over 300 patients 
have been treated with the current PROSTVAC-V/F product. A large database 
exists from safety evaluations in animals and humans for PROSTVAC-V/F. (see 
Investigator’s Brochure)

Study Design 
BNIT-PRV-301 is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center, multi-country, 
Phase 3 efficacy trial of PROSTVAC-V/F in men with asymptomatic or minimally 
symptomatic, metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer. It is a 3-arm study 
and will evaluate overall survival in two separate comparisons, PROSTVAC-V/F 
plus GM-CSF versus control, and PROSTVAC-V/F without GM-CSF versus control. 
Subjects will be randomized with equal probability into one of three double-blind 
arms.  The intended interventions for randomized subjects are: 
(Arm V+G) 
PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF 
(Arm V) 
PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF placebo 
(Arm P) 
Double placebo (empty fowlpox vector / plus GM-CSF placebo) 
The trial interventions will consist of a single subcutaneous (sc) immunization of 
PROSTVAC-V or placebo in Week 1, followed by 6 PROSTVAC-F or placebo sc 
immunizations administered in Weeks 3, 5, 9, 13, 17, and 21.   
 
Each immunization will be accompanied by administration of low dose GM-CSF or 
placebo on the day of immunization and for the subsequent 3 days (sc injection at 
same site, within 5 mm). 
Study Objectives  
Primary Efficacy Objectives:  
To ascertain whether the overall survival of subjects randomized to Arm V+G 
(PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF) or to Arm V (PROSTVAC-V/F) is superior to that 
from subjects randomized to Arm P (placebo control). 
Secondary Efficacy Objective: 
To ascertain whether a greater proportion of subjects randomized to Arm V+G or 
Arm V remain event-free (radiological progression, pain progression, chemotherapy 
initiation, or death) at 6 months (or early termination) as compared to the subjects 
randomized to Arm P.  
Safety Objectives: 
To further characterize the safety and tolerability of PROSTVAC immunotherapy. 
Exploratory Objectives: 
To model radiological disease status over the first year of study participation.  
To ascertain whether a greater proportion of subjects randomized to either 
Arm V+G or Arm V remain event-free (radiological progression) 6 months post 
End-of-Treatment visit (using scans at End-of-Treatment visit as a new baseline) as 
compared to the subjects randomized to Arm P. This analysis will include all 
subjects, and the HLA-A2-expressing subgroup. 
To assess the role of post-treatment anti-cancer therapies as an alternative 
explanation for observed survival differences. 
To ascertain whether the overall survival of HLA-A2-expressing subjects 
randomized to Arm V+G, or Arm V is superior to that from HLA-A2-expressing-
subjects randomized to Arm P.   
To compare arms with respect to immune response to immunizing antigen (PSA), 
as well as to non-vaccine-contained prostate antigens, and tumor-associated 
antigens, and assess whether immune responses are prognostic and/or predictive.

Methodology 
• 
Subcutaneous immunizations  
o 
PROSTVAC-V or placebo administered in Week 1 
o 
PROSTVAC-F or placebo administered in Weeks 3, 5, 9, 13, 17, and 21.   
Trial Population  
Subjects with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic, metastatic prostate cancer 
who have progressed despite surgical castration or androgen suppression therapy. 
Subjects will have evidence of radiological disease progression, or PSA disease 
progression as described in Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2 
(PCWG2) criteria, after being treated with androgen suppression therapy or 
complete androgen blockade and withdrawal. 
Sample Size  
It is projected that approximately 1,200 subjects (400 subjects per arm), will be 
required for evaluation of the primary objective (overall survival). Analysis will 
require 534 events per each overall efficacy comparison.  Arm V+G subjects 
versus all Arm P subjects, and separately all Arm V subjects versus all Arm P 
subjects.  
Duration of Study  
This trial entails the following three phases: Screening, Treatment, and Long-Term 
Follow-Up.  
Screening Phase: Week -4 – 0 
Screening procedures have to be completed no more than 4 weeks prior to first 
planned dose. 
Treatment Phase:  Weeks 1 – 25 
Treatment (5 mos), including vaccination at Weeks 1, 3, 5, 9, 13, 17, and 21 
followed by  End-of-Treatment (Week 25)/Early Termination visit. 
Due to the delayed effect of vaccine induced immunotherapy, PSA and radiological 
progression may be expected during the treatment phase of the trial, and is not a 
cause for stopping vaccination. Subjects who progress clinically (pain) during 
treatment, or who progress rapidly as measured by PSA-DT <1 month will be 
counseled with respect to alternative treatment options. If subjects choose to 
initiate alternative therapy, vaccination will be discontinued.  Subjects who stop 
treatment will continue in the Long-Term Follow-Up phase. 
Long-Term Follow-Up Phase (LTFU): 
After completing the End-of-Treatment/Early Termination visit, all subjects will 
automatically enter the Long-Term Follow-Up phase that extends until 12 months 
after the required number of 534 events for each between-arm comparison is 
realized. Subject health status, disease status, and subsequent prostate cancer 
therapies will be collected at each 6 month visit.

• 6 PROSTVAC-F (or placebo) booster vaccinations (Weeks 3, 5, and then 9, 
13, 17, and 21) 
 
GM-CSF is provided at 100 μg per sc injection (on Days 1 – 4) for each 
vaccination.  GM-CSF placebo is bacteriostatic saline for injection and is delivered 
on the same schedule. 
Statistical Methods  
Statistical success with respect to the primary objective is defined as success for 
either of the following comparisons: 
 
• Superiority of Arm V+G over Arm P for all subjects randomized to these 
arms. 
• Superiority of Arm V over Arm P for all subjects randomized to these arms. 
 
The significance levels to be used for the analyses associated with these two 
comparisons will protect the overall study type I error probability to be one-sided 
0.025 or less. The possibility of delayed vaccine effect is taken into account in 
computing the required number of deaths, (as modeled from the randomized 
Phase 2 trial). The projected trial size is 400 subjects per arm (approximately 
1,200 subjects) with at least 85% power, and the final analyses will be event-
driven and take place when 534 deaths have been realized for the comparisons 
involving all subjects randomized (Arm V+G versus Arm P, and separately Arm V 
versus Arm P).

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
1.1 
Rationale 
Bavarian Nordic, Inc. (BNI) previously known as BN ImmunoTherapeutics, Inc. (BNIT) is developing 
PROSTVAC-V/F for the treatment of prostate cancer (Madan 2009). The PROSTVAC vaccine product is 
comprised of two biologic agents, PROSTVAC-V and PROSTVAC-F. These are two different poxvirus 
vectors, recombinant vaccinia and fowlpox viruses, respectively, encoding the genes for prostate-specific 
antigen (PSA) with the L155 mutation in combination with a triad of human costimulatory molecules, B7.1, 
ICAM-1, and LFA-3 (TRICOM™; TRICOM). They are used to introduce tumor-associated antigens 
(TAAs) and costimulatory molecules into patients with metastatic prostate cancer. The vaccinia and 
fowlpox viruses encoding PSA and TRICOM are used in a prime-boost vaccination regimen to optimize 
immune responses against prostate cancer tumor cells. 
The proposed treatment is a PSA -based immunization strategy. PROSTVAC-V/F is a viral vector-based 
product that is administered over seven subcutaneous vaccinations, over a five month period. It is 
intended to generate immune responses to prostate specific antigens and prostate cancer cells. It uses 
poxviral vectors to introduce modified PSA to the patient in an immunogenic manner to break self-
tolerance and generate immune responses directed against prostate cancer cells.  A double-blind 
randomized Phase 2 trial found longer survival for men randomized to receive PROSTVAC-V/F, where an 
overall median survival of 16.6 months was noted for control vector-treated subjects versus 25.1 months 
for PROSTVAC-V/F-treated subjects, hazard ratio 0.56 (95%CI 0.38-0.88), and p=0.006.  
PROSTVAC-V/F is an outcome of more than 15 years of poxviral vector development and evaluation by 
the NCI, the former Therion Biologics Corporation (Therion), and BNI. Over 570 patients have been 
treated with related PSA-containing poxviral vectors, and over 300 patients have been treated with the 
current PROSTVAC-V/F regimen. A large database (see Investigator’s Brochure) exists from safety 
evaluations in animals and in humans for PROSTVAC-V/F. BNIT-PRV-301 will evaluate the efficacy of 
PROSTVAC-V/F in men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic, metastatic castration-resistant 
prostate cancer (mCRPC). 
1.2 
Background 
1.2.1 
PROSTVAC-V/F Development Program 
Bavarian Nordic A/S (BN), 
, is the parent company of BNI, and is now the sole 
manufacturer of PROSTVAC-V/F. BN has manufactured poxviral-based products since 1995, ranging 
from bench-scale through commercial, and has the experience and technical expertise to culture the 
vaccine vectors, and to produce final frozen liquid formulations.  The manufacturing technology and 
methodology originally developed at Therion have been transferred and further developed 
 
. Phase 3 clinical trial material will be 
manufactured

The plan for the continued clinical development of PROSTVAC-V/F in men with mCRPC is informed in 
particular by the Phase 2 study conducted under former BB-IND 10428.  This study in metastatic disease 
demonstrated that (i) recombinant vaccinia and fowlpox viruses are well tolerated vectors for 
administration to subjects with prostate cancer, and (ii) prolonged survival is achieved in subjects treated 
with PROSTVAC-V/F versus subjects administered the control.  
The planned Phase 3 clinical program to be conducted by BNI will include one well-powered, randomized, 
placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center, multi-country trial designed to evaluate PROSTVAC-V/F 
with and without GM-CSF for the treatment of mCRPC. This trial will be conducted globally. 
1.2.2 
Prostate Cancer 
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men in the United States.  According to 
the American Cancer Society, approximately 200,000 new diagnoses of, and 28,000 deaths from prostate 
cancer occur each year in the United States (Jemal 2009). Up to one-third of patients with localized 
disease will fail local therapy within 10 years (as evidenced by a rising PSA) (Pound 2001, Freedland 
2007). Patients with recurrent disease generally undergo hormone suppression therapy, with medical or 
surgical castration. Unfortunately, in most cases, this is eventually followed (after good response for 
several years) by progressive disease. Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is characterized by 
disease that is uncontrolled despite low levels of testosterone and/or the presence of androgen receptor 
antagonist treatment (Rini 2002).  
Upon the development of metastasis, overall survival is approximately 1–3 years. Taxane-based 
chemotherapy (docetaxel) and Provenge™ (Provenge, sipuleucel-T) are the only approved agents for the 
first-line treatment of patients with metastatic disease that have shown a prolonged survival benefit.  
Prostate cancer has been shown to be generally poorly responsive to chemotherapy. Taxotere 
chemotherapy has a beneficial effect on survival of approximately 3 months (Tannock 2004, Petrylak 
2004, Berthold 2008). Cabazitaxel-based chemotherapy also offers an apparent 2-3 month improved 
survival in a second-line setting (after docetaxel chemotherapy) (DeBono 2010). However, as with many 
other cytolytic agents, the impact on the patient’s quality of life is significant. More recently, abiraterone 
(an androgen hormone synthesis inhibitor) has also been shown to prolong median survival by 
approximately 4 months, and has been approved for use in second-line setting (De Bono 2011). 
Provenge has shown a beneficial survival benefit of approximately 4 months (Kantoff 2010, NEJM). 
Provenge, while having a comparatively favorable safety profile with a slightly better survival benefit, 
requires extensive processing during the treatment regimen and, therefore, has practical limitations. 
Consequently, therapies that could significantly improve the therapeutic benefit (survival and safety) as 
well as practical use of that observed with chemotherapy and Provenge, respectively, are urgently 
needed.

1.2.3 
Prostate Cancer Immunotherapy 
Therapeutic cancer vaccines have been investigated in both castration-sensitive and castration-resistant 
disease (Schlom 2007). Prostate cancer is an ideal candidate for treatments that stimulate the immune 
system to target cancer cells. Prostate cancer may progress slowly (even in advanced disease), allowing 
time for the immune system to be stimulated, and to mount an active immune response. It is a poorly 
chemosensitive disease, so patients are generally not heavily pretreated with cytotoxic agents, and their 
immune systems are more intact. Prostate cells have a unique and specific marker, prostate-specific 
antigen (PSA), which is secreted into the blood, and can be detected with even low levels of tumor 
burden.  Several other gene products are unique to prostate cells, and prostate cancer cells over-express 
tumor-associated antigens (TAA), making for multiple targets suitable for immunotherapy responses 
(Cunha 2006, Bradford 2006). Many patients with prostate cancer have low levels of cytolytic T-cells 
capable of recognizing PSA, and this minimal response can be enhanced with immune stimulation by 
therapeutic cancer vaccines (Chakraborty 2003). Finally, because the prostate is a nonessential organ, 
targeting PSA- or TAA-specific immune cells to prostatic tissue is unlikely to have a significant negative 
clinical impact.  
The first FDA approved prostate cancer immunotherapy, Provenge (sipuleucel-T), is now available 
(approved 29 April 2010). However Provenge is available only in the United States. Provenge is a cell-
based vaccine consisting of autologous PBMCs that have been activated ex-vivo with a recombinant 
protein representing a fusion of PAP (prostatic acid phosphatase) and GM-CSF. Early clinical work 
demonstrated prolongation of overall survival (Small 2006), and up-regulations of cellular immunity and 
reductions in PSA and PAP levels (Patel 2008). The Phase 3 IMPACT study of 512 subjects with 
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer met its primary endpoint of prolongation of overall survival. 
Provenge was approved for use in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer based on an increase 
in median survival of 4.1 to 4.5 months (Kantoff 2010).  
1.2.4 
PSA as a Target Antigen 
PSA is a promising target antigen for immunotherapy of prostate cancer. PSA is a ~34,000 dalton 
glycoprotein that is produced in normal, benign, and cancerous prostate epithelia, but not in other normal 
tissues (Wang 1982, Lilja 2008). Because PSA is expressed essentially only in prostatic epithelial cells 
(normal and malignant), and the prostate gland is nonessential, this antigen is an enticing choice. The 
fact that PSA is secreted and not membrane-bound limits its use as a target for humoral immunity, but not 
its use as a target of specific cellular immune system attack. Cells, including tumor cells, present 
endogenously expressed proteins on their surface in the form of peptide-major histocompatibility 
complexes (MHC). Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize and are activated by specific peptides in 
the context of the appropriate MHC class I molecule on antigen-presenting cells (APC). This activation 
can in turn lead to killing of tumor targets by the peptide-specific CTLs. 
The use of PSA as a target to elicit tumor-specific T-cell-mediated lysis has been validated in vitro. 
Correale et al. demonstrated in vitro killing of a PSA-peptide-pulsed HLA-A2+ human cell line by a PSA-

specific human CTL cell line, and lysis was blocked by an antibody directed against MHC class I 
molecules (Correale 1997). It has also been shown that PSA-specific CTLs could be generated that lyse 
PSA-expressing prostate cancer cells (Correale 1997, 1998).  The identification of these peptide epitopes 
further provides a means of identifying cytolytic T-cells resulting from immunization as an in vitro 
monitoring tool. 
1.2.5 
PSA-3-epitope modification 
Protein antigens are presented to CTLs as small peptides (approximately 9–10 amino acids long) bound 
to class I molecules of the MHC. One strategy to increase the immunogenicity of a self-antigen such as 
PSA is to modify selected epitopes within the protein sequence to enhance their binding to MHC class I 
alleles. The stabilized binding enables more sustained and potent immune cell activation. One such 
epitope, designated PSA-3 (amino acids 154–163), which is specific for the MHC class I A2 allele, was 
modified by the introduction of a single amino acid change (I to L) at position 2 in the epitope (designated 
L155) (Correale 1998, Terasawa 2002). A number of in vitro studies suggest that PSA carrying this 
modification will be more immunogenic in HLA-A2 individuals than the native (unmodified) PSA 
polypeptide (Correale 1998, Terasawa 2002). 
1.2.6 
Poxviral Vaccine Approach 
Poxviruses are large multi-enveloped DNA viruses which encode about 200 genes.  Poxviral vectors are 
able to accommodate multiple transgenes, and are able to deliver PSA and multiple immunostimulatory 
genes directly or indirectly to APCs.  The activated APCs process and present the PSA antigen, leading 
to PSA specific T-cell activation (Essajee 2004, Schlom 2008).  PSA as a soluble protein is weakly 
immunogenic, especially in the tumor-bearing host. Vaccine strategies must induce greater activation of 
T-cells than is being achieved endogenously in the host. The poxviral system achieves this by generating 
a natural inflammatory context for facilitating activation of immune cells, and inducing PSA-specific 
immune responses. Extensive pre-clinical studies in experimental murine models have demonstrated the 
therapeutic utility of using poxviral vaccines to break tolerance (Bernards 1987, Irvine 1993, Kass 1999).  
Another advantage of poxviral vaccines is that they are well tolerated by the patients. The relative safety 
of PSA-based poxviral vectors has been well established in previous trials (Madan 2009, Kantoff 2010, 
Kaufman 2004, Arlen 2007). 
1.2.7 
Vaccinia Virus 
Vaccinia virus has been used for over 200 years as a vaccine for smallpox and has a well-established 
safety and adverse event (AE) profile (Casey 2005, Poland 2005).  The virus actively replicates in human 
cells, and generates a strong inflammatory response, resulting in the presentation of high levels of 
antigen to the immune system over a period of one to two weeks, supporting a potent immune 
stimulation.  Subsequently, the immune response specific to vaccinia then eliminates the virus. Host 
immune responses to vaccinia restrict its replication and thus limit its ability to be re-used for subsequent

vaccinations. Consequently, vaccinia-based vaccines, although potent immunological priming agents, can 
be used to immunize an individual only once or twice.   
1.2.8 
Fowlpox Virus 
Fowlpox virus is a member of the genus Avipox, which is evolutionarily divergent from vaccinia virus and 
serologically non cross-reactive (Taylor 1988, Beukema 2006). Immune responses to vaccinia are 
essentially non cross-reactive with fowlpox, and do not block infection and immunization with fowlpox-
based vectors. Hence vaccinia-primed immune responses can be boosted with fowlpox vectors.  In 
addition, fowlpox vectors do not replicate in human cells (only in avian cells), and are therefore much less 
of a safety risk than vaccinia-based vectors. Fowlpox vectors mediate a limited infection in human cells, 
with early viral and transgene expression, but late gene expression is blocked, and no infectious particles 
are produced. Thus minimal viral surface antigen is made, and minimal neutralizing antibody immune 
responses are induced.  This enables multiple boosting with the fowlpox-based vectors. 
1.2.9 
Prime-Boost 
Recombinant vaccinia and fowlpox vectors are most effective when used in combination in prime-boost 
regimens. By priming with recombinant vaccinia virus and then boosting repeatedly with the 
corresponding recombinant fowlpox virus, maximum immune responses to the expressed tumor antigens 
can be obtained. This phenomenon has been demonstrated in animal models (Hodge 1997, Dale 2006) 
and has been supported by the results from the completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials conducted by the 
National Cancer Institute (NCI), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), and Therion. 
1.2.10 
TRICOM- costimulatory molecules 
Destruction of immunological targets requires T-cell lymphocyte recognition, via the T-cell receptor, of 
antigenic peptides presented in the context of MHC molecules on APCs. In addition to this antigen-
specific signal, a second, antigen-independent signal is required for T-cell activation (Boussiotis 1995, 
Hodge 2006). This second signal is provided by the interaction of specific ligands on the T-cell surface 
with “costimulatory” molecules expressed on APCs. The most extensively studied pathway of 
costimulation is that involving the interaction of the costimulatory molecule B7.1 expressed on APCs with 
CD28 and CTLA4 on the T-cell (Sharpe 2002, Riley 2005).  A number of additional costimulatory 
molecules on APCs have been identified; these include ICAM-1 and LFA-3, whose ligands are LFA-1 and 
CD2, respectively, on the surface of T-cells (Wingren 1995, Lebedeva 2005, Wang 2008).  
Proper engagement of the T-cell receptor and costimulatory receptor requires the expression of both 
antigen and costimulatory molecules, respectively, in the same cell. Therefore, co-expression of 
costimulatory molecules using a single recombinant vector presents the potential of cooperation among 
these proteins to enhance T-cell activation. Recombinant vectors co-expressing three costimulatory 
molecules, LFA-3, ICAM-1, and B7.1, designated TRICOM™ (TRICOM), have been shown to have 
synergistic effects on antitumor responses as compared to vectors expressing individual costimulatory 
molecules (Hodge 1999). Mice immunized with a recombinant vaccinia virus co-expressing

carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and murine TRICOM exhibited greater immune responses and anti-
tumor responses than mice immunized with a recombinant vaccinia virus co-expressing CEA and murine 
B7.1.  Enhanced anti-tumor immunity was also observed in mice that were transgenic (tolerant) for CEA 
(Hodge 1999). PROSTVAC-V and PROSTVAC-F have, therefore, been designed to simultaneously 
express PSA together with B7.1, LFA-3, and ICAM-1. 
1.2.11 
GM-CSF 
Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has been shown to enhance antigen 
processing and presentation by dendritic cells (DC). GM-CSF affects many immunologic processes, 
including increasing expression of class II MHC molecules, augmenting the primary antibody response, 
and inducing localized inflammation when administered by injection (Warren 2000, Chang 2004). GM-
CSF has the ability to promote local DC differentiation, maturation, and subsequent migration to regional 
lymph nodes. Antigens released by target cells, such as those from tumors, are likely to be taken up and 
processed by DCs and presented to T-cells, thereby inducing the activation of a cellular immune 
response. These immunologic properties of GM-CSF have made this cytokine a potentially attractive 
adjuvant candidate for vaccines. Indeed, use of both recombinant human (rhu) GM-CSF and the 
recombinant poxviruses expressing GM-CSF has been shown to enhance immunological effects of 
vaccines in both non-clinical (Kass 2001) and clinical studies (Marshall 2000). GM-CSF was administered 
as an adjuvant to the PROSTVAC-V/F vaccine in the randomized, placebo controlled Phase 2 trial, and 
the positive outcome of this trial supports its use in this Phase 3 trial. 
More recent data have however, challenged the benefits of GM-CSF.  A recent review of approximately 
14 different human clinical cancer vaccine studies that employed GM-CSF as an adjuvant (Parmiani, 
2007) concluded that the studies reviewed provided limited evidence to justify the use of GM-CSF as an 
adjuvant and might be even detrimental under certain conditions. There is also growing evidence that 
systemic use of GM-CSF can compound tumor-mediated immune suppression by acting as a growth 
factor for myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) (Talmadge, 2007).  Lastly, in a small Phase 2 trial of 
PROSTVAC-V/F conducted by the NCI, GM-CSF use was not associated with any dramatic clinical 
benefit.  However, only eight subjects per arm were compared (GM-CSF, no GM-CSF, FPV-GM-CSF, 
FPV-GM-CSF high dose), making firm conclusions difficult. Together these data support going forward 
with a third arm of the trial comparing PROSTVAC-V/F without GM-CSF to control. 
1.3 
Placebo Rationale  
BNIT-PRV-301 will utilize a placebo control in order to fulfill the double-blind design of the study.  In a 
double-blind trial, neither the investigator nor the subject has knowledge of the treatment being 
administered. This study design is utilized in order to control variables that could be caused by knowledge 
of treatment assignment, either on the part of the investigator or the subject.  In order to ensure a double-
blind design, a study protocol must carefully account for all circumstances in which the Investigator or 
subject could obtain knowledge of treatment assignment. One of the most obvious requirements to 
maintain a blind is ensuring that study drug administration is perceived as identical across study arms.

This protocol design minimizes the risk of bias and enhances the impartial analysis of the study drug 
versus placebo effect. However, it is important to note that in case this information is required for safety 
purposes it will be provided in an expedited manner. 
In minimally symptomatic metastatic prostate cancer there is no standard of care.  Most patients and 
physicians utilize chemotherapy when the disease has become symptomatic, or has taken on accelerated 
kinetics. These patients are excluded from this trial (BNIT-PRV-301). The side effect profile of 
chemotherapy and its associated risks have favored later use of chemotherapy, where the potential for 
pain relief shifts the risk-benefit profile.  Immunotherapy is a promising approach in this early stage of 
metastatic prostate cancer.  Although promising, sipuleucel-T is not widely available, and has logistic and 
cost concerns. 
In BNIT-PRV-301 the placebo will be an empty viral vector.  Tissue culture adapted fowlpox virus, the 
same host strain as used in PROSTVAC-F will be used.  This vector is non-replicating in humans and has 
minimal safety risk. In addition, the cutaneous injection site reactions (and side effect profiles) are 
overlapping (and generally indistinguishable) with subcutaneously administered vaccinia (PROSTVAC-V).  
Thus this vector forms an ideal placebo. It has no known effects on cancer progression, and is not 
expected to have any significant effects on its own. It is manufactured by the same process as 
PROSTVAC-V and PROSTVAC-F, and has the same look and feel of the other investigational vaccine 
vectors. 
1.4 
Summary of Findings from Human Clinical Studies 
Clinical investigation of the PROSTVAC-V/F vaccine product was initiated in 2002 by Therion in the 
United States under BB-IND 10428. Therion manufactured all PROSTVAC-V/F product and conducted 
two clinical trials on PROSTVAC-V/F, including a Phase 1 trial evaluating the safety and immunogenicity 
of PROSTVAC-V/F in 10 subjects, and a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial evaluating the 
safety and efficacy (as defined by time-to-progression; TTP) of PROSTVAC-V/F in approximately 125 
men with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer. Both trials were conducted in the US only. 
Therion also manufactured the PROSTVAC-V/F product for all the NCI and ECOG trials. 
1.4.1 
Poxviral PSA Vaccine Clinical Trials 
The use of poxviral vectors to stimulate an immune response to PSA has been evaluated in several 
clinical trials. In a Phase 1 clinical trial using an earlier version of a PSA-based vaccine (devoid of any 
costimulation), Eder et al. used three monthly vaccinations of recombinant vaccinia (rV)-PSA (Eder, 
2000).  Six out of 10 subjects with rising PSA following local therapy who received the highest tested 
dose, with GM-CSF, had a time of PSA progression of greater than six months. Four of these 6 subjects 
still showed no progression, with the longest time of follow-up greater than 24 months. This was 
suggested to be evidence of clinical activity (Eder 2000). Five of 7 HLA-A2+ subjects in this final dose 
level had at least a 2-fold increase in PSA-specific T-cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) 
as a result of vaccination, as measured by the ELISPOT assay, indicating that tolerance to self-antigens

could be circumvented with these vaccine strategies. Another Phase 1 study of rV-PSA also 
demonstrated that immune responses could be elicited in subjects with metastatic hormone-refractory 
prostate cancer and that immune cells taken from these subjects could specifically lyse PSA-expressing 
cancer cells in vitro (Gulley 2002).   
ECOG previously conducted and reported a randomized Phase 2 study in which 64 subjects with rising 
PSA following definitive local therapy with no evidence of disease on imaging studies were randomized to 
receive four vaccines with rV-PSA (designated V) and/or rF-PSA (designated A for avipox) (Kaufman 
2004). The arms were thus VAAA, AAAA and AAAV.  PSA progression-free survival (PFS) was about 9 
months in the latter arm, and about 18 months in the VAAA arm, lending further support to the use of 
vaccinia priming and avipox vector boosting.  
Vaccinia and fowlpox vectors containing the gene for human PSA with a single amino acid substitution 
(designated PSA (L155)) along with genes encoding TRICOM have been tested in two fully accrued 
Phase 1 clinical trials with 25 subjects with metastatic prostate cancer (Arlen 2007, DiPaola 2006).  There 
were no dose-limiting toxicities on these studies attributed to vaccine. One of these studies in subjects 
with mCRPC has shown that subjects treated with PSA/TRICOM who were evaluable for immune 
response had an increase in PSA-specific T-cells after treatment; and 9 of 15 subjects had decreases in 
PSA velocity (Arlen 2007). 
The Therion-sponsored Phase 2 trial randomized subjects with mCRPC 2:1 in favor of vaccine vs. an 
empty fowlpox vector as control. 125 subjects with mCRPC and Gleason scores ≤ 7 were enrolled  
(122 treated). Subjects randomized to receive vaccine (82 subjects) were given subcutaneous rV-PSA-
TRICOM prime with monthly boosts of rF-PSA-TRICOM, while control subjects (40 subjects) were given 
subcutaneous injections of fowlpox. Although no difference in TTP was seen in the short-term, in an 
interim analysis at two years of follow-up, median overall survival was 24.4 months in the vaccine arm 
compared to 16.6 months in the control arm, suggesting that although disease progression occurred at 
similar times in both groups, there appeared to be a long-term benefit for some subjects treated with 
PSA/TRICOM (Schlom 2008, Kantoff 2006).  
The overall survival results after a final survey (median follow-up 4 years) were recently completed.  The 
formal overall survival update revealed that PROSTVAC-V/F immunotherapy was associated with a 
significant survival benefit. PROSTVAC-V/F-treated subjects had a longer median survival (25.1 months 
versus 16.6 months controls), and an increased survival at 3 years post study (25 of 82 subjects, 30%; 
versus 7 of 40 control subjects, 17%).  Statistical analysis of the Kaplan-Meier curves revealed an 
estimated hazard ratio of 0.56 (95% CI 0.37-0.85), and a stratified log rank of P=0.006 (Kantoff 2010).  
In an NCI Phase 2 study (NCI no.5911) of PSA/TRICOM, 32 subjects with metastatic CRPC were treated 
with an rV-PSA-TRICOM prime and monthly boosts of rF-PSA-TRICOM. In that trial, 47% of subjects had 
a decrease in PSA velocity, 38% had a PSA decline.  Median time to progression was 2.8 months.  One 
subject at 8 months experienced a decrease in his hilar adenopathy associated with declining PSA  
(> 30%). He remained on study for 12 months. Another subject had a decrease of 29% in his adenopathy

(by RECIST) associated with a decline in his PSA (> 30%). Another subject who enrolled on study with a 
super-scan on bone scan had a >70% decline in his PSA and remains on trial more than 4 years after 
enrollment. Overall, 13 of 29 evaluable subjects had a > 2-fold increase in PSA-specific T-cells.   
In addition, 5 subjects had a > 6-fold increase in PSA-specific T-cells, which was associated with a trend 
to improved overall survival (p = 0.055) (Madan 2008, Gulley 2009).  
1.4.2 
Clinical Safety of Recombinant Poxvirus-Based Vaccines 
Since 1991, 10 recombinant vaccinia-based vaccines and 8 recombinant fowlpox-based vaccines 
produced by Therion for the treatment of various cancers have been evaluated in human clinical trials 
sponsored by CTEP, DCTD, NCI. Over 1,000 cancer subjects, most with metastatic disease, have been 
treated to date with these poxvirus-based vaccines in 29 CTEP-sponsored or Therion-sponsored clinical 
trials (Kaufman 2004). These trials represent a large component of the relevant safety database that 
supports the initiation of the proposed Phase 3 trial of PROSTVAC-V/F. Significant safety experience in 
humans includes: (a) vaccinia- and/or fowlpox-based vaccines safely administered by a variety of routes 
including intradermal (by injection or scarification), subcutaneous (sc), intramuscular (im), intravenous 
(iv), and intra-tumoral at doses up to 2 x 109 Inf. U. (vaccinia) or 6 x 109 Inf. U. (fowlpox); (b) vaccinia-
based and fowlpox-based vaccines containing costimulatory molecules, alone or in combination with CEA 
or PSA antigens, administered without serious adverse effects, as outlined below. 
Poxviral vectors containing PSA, either alone or with B7.1 or TRICOM, have been evaluated in 13 
different Phase 1 (5 trials) and 2 (8 trials) comprising over 400 vaccinated subjects with advanced 
prostate cancer. In addition, there are three other fully enrolled, and two open studies using PROSTVAC-
V/F treatment, for an additional 100 treated subjects.  There have only been two serious adverse events  
thought to be possibly due to the PROSTVAC-V/F treatment (both in the same subject): the subject had a 
myocardial infarction and it was found that he had Grade 4 thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, thought 
to be possibly related to study drug, approximately 3.5 weeks after receiving the fourth dose of his 
vaccine. This resolved with therapeutic apheresis treatment, however, the subject continued to do poorly 
(for a more detailed description of this case, see Investigator’s Brochure). Thrombotic thrombocytopenic 
purpura has not been reported as an adverse event in large scale studies of smallpox vaccination with 
vaccinia. 
1.5 
Safety of Poxviral Vectors 
1.5.1 
Vaccinia Virus 
Vaccinia virus causes a transient infection, with elimination of viral components over several weeks. Host 
cells infected with vaccinia virus are short lived (days) and die by a mixed form of apoptosis/necrosis. 
Vaccinia replicates in the cytoplasm of infected cells, and viral DNA does not integrate into the host cell 
DNA.  Vaccinia virus is known to be shed from the wound site in traditional dermal scarification based 
vaccination.

The use of vaccinia virus for worldwide eradication of smallpox provides a safety database with number of 
observations in the millions. Geographical differences in strains of vaccinia virus used as well as 
differences in reporting practices, diagnostic and follow-up criteria between countries are a cause of some 
discrepancies in the incidences of adverse events reported, but the overall picture of vaccinia virus safety 
is very well known.  An additional set of data is provided by recent vaccination campaign of military and 
civilian vaccinations in the US. 
A number of events post vaccination are expected and considered to be normal: fever, myalgia, 
headache, fatigue, chills, nausea, soreness and erythema at the vaccination site, local lymphadenopathy.  
Satellite lesions around the vaccination site have been reported as well as local edema. These symptoms 
are self-limiting, last for around three weeks after vaccination and rarely are a cause for serious concern 
(Frey 2002, Fulginiti 2003). Mild adverse reactions that can occur post vaccination are bacterial 
superinfection of vaccination site, erythema multiforme (EM) and generalized vaccinia. Superinfection is a 
rare event with incidence from 0.14 to 55 cases per million according to different reports (Vellozzi 2004).  
EM most often presents as papules, plaques or urticaria which may be symmetrical, may involve palms 
and soles.  EM resolves spontaneously and requires no special care. A development of Stevens-Johnson 
syndrome with mucosal involvement is extremely rare, with only one case noted in the 2003-2004 
vaccination campaign in the US (<1 per 1,000,000) (Fulginiti 2003, Neff 2008). 
Generalized vaccinia results from viremic spread of vaccinia virus from the vaccination site.  It presents 
as a generalized rash, which behaves like the vaccination site lesion, progressing through papular, 
vesicular, pustular and scab-forming stages. The incidence is difficult to assess, since historically there 
was no strict definition to distinguish generalized vaccinia from other conditions where rash is a dominant 
symptom (severe chickenpox, smallpox, eczema vaccinatum, EM).  Retrospective analysis of 2002 – 
2004 vaccinations suggests an incidence of ~50 cases per 1,000,000 (Bryant-Genevier 2006).  The rash 
appears within a week after vaccination and resolves within a week. Most instances do not require 
specific therapy (Fulginiti 2003). 
Some of the post-vaccinia adverse events, although very rare, are serious and potentially life-threatening.  
They are described as follows. 
Progressive vaccinia (PV) is the most serious complication known. It was almost always fatal prior to the 
introduction of vaccinia immune globulin (VIG). PV occurs predominantly in persons with T-cell 
deficiencies or receiving treatments that result in T-cell deficiencies. The primary vaccination site fails to 
heal leading to a severe local reaction with necrosis, and viremic spread of vaccinia leads to generalized 
appearance of new lesions without reactive immunoinflammatory response (Bray 2003, Fulginiti 2003). 
PV is extremely rare; historical incidence is in the order of 1 case per 1,000,000.  There were no reports 
of PV in the military and civilian vaccines in 2002 – 2004 vaccination campaigns (Neff 2008). 
Eczema vaccinatum (EV) manifests as rash (papular, vesicular, pustular, erosive) that can be localized or 
generalized and predominantly occurs in the areas that have been affected by lesions of atopic dermatitis 
or other eczematous skin condition.  Historically it occurred at a rate of ~1 case per 25,000 vaccinations.

EV can occur in a vaccine recipient as well as in susceptible individuals in close contact. Two cases of EV 
from transmission have been recently reported both in children of recently vaccinated US military 
personnel (Lederman 2008, Vora 2008). In the military vaccination program in the US there were no 
reports of EV among 450,239 vaccinees, probably due to careful screening for contraindications 
(Grabenstein 2003).  Review of civilian vaccinations did not detect any cases of EV (Velozzi 2004). EV 
can be prevented by thorough screening of at-risk individuals and education on importance of avoiding 
contacts with such persons and proper hygiene.  
Postvaccinial encephalitis (PVE) historical case-fatality rate is 25%. The historical (1963 – 1968) reported 
frequency of PVE in United States was reported at 2.9 cases per 1,000,000 (Aragon 2003). PVE has 
higher prevalence and mortality rate in children compared to adults. Higher historical rates were reported 
in Europe compared to United States. Variability is attributed to differences in case definitions, clinical 
evaluations and differences in vaccine strains used by different countries (Sejvar 2005). Pathogenesis is 
still under investigation, although several compelling theories focus on autoimmune mechanism. Aside 
from vaccinia, measles and rabies vaccines have known association with PVE, as well as other viral and 
bacterial infections (Benneto 2004, Menge 2007). Review of 2002 – 2004 vaccinations in US reported 
three cases of PVE for the rate of 5 per 1,000,000. 
Recent vaccination campaign in the US revealed a higher than historically observed incidence of 
myo/pericarditis in vaccinees. Predominant symptoms were chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue, 
typically mild and transient. Among military contingent, 88% of cases occurred in men with the incidence 
of 16.11 per 100,000 for primary vaccines and 2.07 per 100,000 in revaccinees (Arness 2004). In civilian 
population women accounted for 67% of cases and the majority of events (86%) were reported in 
revaccinees (Casey 2005, Sniadack 2008). Variability between the two sets of data may be explained by 
differences in demographics of vaccinees, case detection, ascertainment and reporting practices (Morgan 
2008). Myo/pericarditis has been long associated with a number of viral infections, although there are 
very few reports of confirmed viremia. A few cases of myo/pericarditis have been reported following DTP 
and influenza vaccinations (de Meester 2000, Boccara 2001). It is currently assumed that injury to the 
heart post viral infection is more of an immune inflammatory than direct nature (Cassimatis 2004, 
Feldman 2000). 
Review of data from 2002 – 2004 vaccinations in US reported ~1 case of autoinoculation per 6,500 
vaccinations with 17% of ocular cases, none with corneal involvement (Neff 2008).  Vaccinia keratitis is 
the most serious consequence of autoinoculation, since lesions on the cornea threaten eyesight. 
Diseased or injured conjunctiva and cornea may increase the risk of this complication.  Vaccinia keratitis 
will respond to treatment with topical antiviral agents and interferon and can be prevented with use of 
occlusive bandages over the scarification site and by subject education (Fulginiti 2003). 
Transmission of vaccinia to close contacts is another known complication.  Contact vaccinia may manifest 
as progressive vaccinia, eczema vaccinatum or accidental infection of eye, mouth, genital areas.  Review 
of several national and state surveys between 1962 and 1968 gives frequency for EV at 8 - 27 per

1,000,000 and for accidental infections at 3 - 44 per 1,000,000 (Neff, 2002).  The rate of contact vaccinia 
in 2002 – 2004 was <10 cases per 100,000. Education of vaccinees in proper care for the vaccination 
site, proper hand hygiene and avoidance of contact with at risk individuals seems to be a reasonable and 
effective prophylactic against contact vaccinia. 
PROSTVAC-V/F immunization is subcutaneously administered, which greatly reduces injection site 
reactions, and skin surface wound formation/viral shedding. PROSTVAC-V/F is also given to vaccinia pre-
immune persons.  Both of these factors reduce the potential for inadvertent infection versus traditional 
smallpox vaccine programs. 
1.5.2 
Fowlpox Virus 
Fowlpox virus has been investigated and used in vaccine design for at least two decades. As a pox virus, 
it offers the advantages of a large genome but provides an additional safety assurance by not being able 
to replicate in mammalian cells. Fowlpox virus-based vaccines have been tested in both animals and 
humans for HIV, malaria and cancer. No safety concerns have been raised and the adverse events 
associated with the use of fowlpox vector have been limited to mild injection site reactions  
(Beukema 2006, Webster 2006). 
1.6 
Potential Benefits and Risks to Human Subjects 
The intent of vaccination with PROSTVAC-V/F is to induce an immune response to prostate-specific 
antigen (PSA), and other prostate- and tumor-specific antigens.  In the randomized, placebo controlled 
Phase 2 trial; an over-all survival benefit among patients who received PROSTVAC-V/F was observed.  It 
is unknown whether PROSTVAC-V/F will provide this benefit to subjects participating in this trial, as this 
product is still currently in development. Benefits of this trial also include the potential boosting (or 
acquisition) of protective immunity against smallpox. 
Based on clinical experience with PROSTVAC-V/F in Phase 2, adverse reactions are expected to be 
minimal. A local injection site reaction is typical, and comparable to those seen with other modern 
vaccines. Potential adverse reactions attributable to the administration of PROSTVAC-V/F at ≥ 50% 
frequency include injection site reactions (pain, swelling, induration, and redness), and at ≥ 10% 
frequency include headache, fatigue, myalgia, and nausea; the majority of events of Grade 1 and 2 in 
severity. 
The priming vaccination with PROSTVAC-V is with a vaccinia-based replicating virus. Special wound 
precautions are required. The vaccinia virus has been used in millions of people to eliminate smallpox.  In 
this trial it is given subcutaneously, not by dermal scarification, and local injection site reactions are much 
less severe, and viral shedding is minimal.  However, there are still risks of inadvertent infection of other 
body sites (through scratching), or transfer of infection to others. Special bandage precautions are 
required, and subjects need to avoid contact with small children <3 years of age, individuals who are 
immunocompromised or are receiving immunosuppressive therapies, and pregnant or lactating women

(for 3-4 weeks). With smallpox vaccine programs in vaccinia-naïve subjects immunized by dermal 
scarification, inadvertent inoculation occurred approximately 1/6,000 vaccinations. Subjects in this trial will 
be given detailed instructions on proper care of the injection site and rules of hygiene to prevent 
inadvertent inoculations and transmission of vaccinia virus. 
In the recent series of military and civilian vaccinations, vaccinia immunization has been reported to 
induce myopericarditis. Symptoms of chest pain were typically mild and transient, but occurred in 1/1,000 
subjects.  The incidence of this complication is lower in re-vaccinees. To prevent potential exacerbation of 
existing chronic problems, this protocol excludes subjects with known history of heart disease from 
participating in the trial. In addition, there are rare risks of severe and possibly life-threatening adverse 
reactions. These include eczema vaccinatum (~1/25,000, usually with history of underlying skin disorder) 
or progressive vaccinia infections (~1/300,000, usually with underlying immunodeficiency), or post 
vaccinial encephalitis (~1/500,000, usually infants or small children). These were observed after the 
administration of conventional smallpox vaccines, and have not been seen in prior studies of 
PROSTVAC-V/F or related PSA (or other tumor antigen-containing vaccinia virus vaccines) administered 
to vaccinia pre-immune cancer subjects Under the proposed protocol, age restriction, exclusion of all pre-
existing conditions with features of immune suppression and skin disorders minimize the risk of such rare 
complications. 
During study treatments, subjects will be under the continuous care of the investigator and his/her staff 
and will be assessed for adverse events which will be recorded in the subject’s CRF. SAEs must be 
reported to BNI or its designee within 24 hours of discovery. To minimize risk, potential subjects who have 
a known allergy to eggs, egg products, aminoglycoside antibiotics or GM-CSF, or other pre-existing 
medical conditions known to be risk factors for SAEs will be excluded from participation. 
In view of the anticipated mild side effects, the potential risks for the subject seem to be limited and to 
justify the potential benefit of participating in this trial. 
1.7 
Rationale for Double-Blinding 
This study has been designed to be double-blinded despite having an objectively ascertained primary 
endpoint (survival) for the following reasons: 
• 
There will be no study defections due to randomization disappointment (so subjects randomized 
to placebo will not quit the study). 
• 
There will be no difference in use of post-treatment anti-cancer therapies or concomitant 
therapies due to knowing the intervention being delivered. 
• 
There will be no difference in the interpretation of biomarkers or lab tests due to knowing the 
intervention being delivered. 
• 
The between-arm comparison of adverse events will not be corrupted by knowing the intervention 
being delivered.

STUDY OBJECTIVES AND ENDPOINTS 
3.1 
Study Objectives 
3.1.1 
Primary Efficacy Objective  
To ascertain whether the survival of subjects randomized to Arm V+G (PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF) or 
to Arm V (PROSTVAC-V/F) is superior to that from subjects randomized to Arm P (placebo control). 
3.1.2 
Secondary Efficacy Objective 
To ascertain whether a greater proportion of subjects randomized to Arm V+G or to Arm V remain event-
free at six months (or early termination) as compared to the subjects randomized to Arm P.  
3.1.2.1 
Definition of Event (To be Used in Secondary Endpoint)  
Progression events will be defined as: 
• 
Radiographic progression 
o 
Two new lesions on bone scan, new metastases on CT scans*, or an increase size of 
nodal lesions per RECIST 1.1.  
• 
Pain progression 
o 
Introduction of scheduled opioid narcotics for cancer-related pain control. 
• 
Initiation of chemotherapy 
• 
Death 
* For subjects with allergies to contrast agents, MRIs for abdomen and pelvis may be performed.  Only in 
cases where MRI is unavailable may a non-contrast CT be performed. For subjects enrolled in Germany, 
MRI must be used as the primary imaging modality. 
Radiographic progression will be assessed by bone scan at 3 and 6 months, and by CT scan (or MRI for 
subjects in Germany) at 6 months (and at the time of progression, or any time during the treatment period 
if clinically indicated). For secondary endpoint analysis, baseline scans and 6 month scans (or early 
termination scans) will be compared by central radiology review. Bone scan and CT (or MRI for subjects 
in Germany) data will be archived up to five years past the end of the trial. 
In addition, for an exploratory endpoint, we will assess radiological progression at 12 months (6 months 
post End-of-Treatment visit) by comparison with the 6 month scans (from End-of-Treatment visit or early 
termination).  This will attempt to define effects on secondary progression, and characterize delayed 
effects of investigational vaccine therapy.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
4.1 
Study Design 
BNIT-PRV-301 is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center, multi-country, Phase 3 efficacy trial of 
PROSTVAC-V/F in men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic, metastatic, castration-resistant 
prostate cancer. Subjects will be randomized with equal probability (1:1:1) to one of three double-blind 
arms; two investigational arms (Arm V+G; Arm V), and a control arm (Arm P). The study will consist of 
three periods: a Screening phase, followed by Treatment, and subsequently Long-Term Follow-Up 
(LTFU) phases. 
The intended intervention in Arm V+G is PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF; Arm V intended intervention is 
PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF placebo, whereas the intended intervention in Arm P is vaccine placebo 
plus GM-CSF placebo. The trial interventions will consist of a single sc immunization of PROSTVAC-V or 
placebo in Week 1, followed by six PROSTVAC-F or placebo immunizations administered in Weeks 3, 5, 
9, 13, 17, and 21.  Each immunization will be accompanied by administration of sc GM-CSF or placebo 
on the day of immunization and for the subsequent three days (sc injection within 5 mm of the original 
PROSTVAC V/F or placebo injection site).  The Treatment phase of this trial lasts for five months and is 
followed by an End-of-Treatment visit at Week 25. During the Treatment phase, subjects will continue to 
be treated with vaccination therapy or placebo through PSA and/or radiological progression. 
Following the completion of the Treatment phase (after the last dose of PROSTVAC-V/F + GM-CSF or 
placebo or early termination of treatment) of the trial, all subjects will automatically enter the LTFU phase 
with study visits occurring every six months. During LTFU subjects will receive standard-of-care treatment 
as determined by the Principal Investigator or treating physician. The appropriate timing and the nature of 
any subsequent treatment will be at the discretion of the Principal Investigator or treating physician. All 
treatments for mCRPC subsequent to the Treatment phase of the trial will be documented in the CRF. 
This comprehensive data will be collected until study closure, death, or until a subject withdraws from the 
study.  
The primary endpoint for the study is overall survival. All subjects will be followed for 12 months after the 
required number of 534 events for each between-arm comparison is realized.  
4.2 
Sample Size 
This study will evaluate approximately 1,200 subjects (400 subjects/arm) with a 1:1:1 randomization of 
PROSTVAC-V/F plus or minus GM-CSF versus placebo control plus GM-CSF placebo. 
4.3 
Selection of Study Population 
All subjects will be men ≥ 18 years old with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic, metastatic CRPC. 
Subjects will have progressive disease following androgen suppression or complete blockade therapy, or 
surgical castration; and will be chemotherapy naïve for metastatic prostate cancer. Subjects must be

vaccinia experienced (previous smallpox vaccination). Subjects must have a castrate testosterone level of 
<50 ng/dl at study entry. 
For subjects on anti-androgens, a 6-week washout is required (4 weeks if on flutamide).  
Prospective subjects may be screened from hospital or clinic records or databases, or may be new 
patients. At the discretion of the institution, subjects may be recruited by advertisements, on-line, in 
newsletters or journals, flyers, or on radio provided the content and distribution is approved by BNI and by 
the IRB/EC prior to use or release. BNI will list the study on the government website, 
www.clinicaltrials.gov. 
4.4 
Targeted Enrollment of Minorities 
Attempts will be made (in the US) to specifically enroll minority subjects up to the level of representation 
in the general US population. Cities with high minority populations will be specifically targeted for center 
recruitment, as will study centers serving primarily minority populations; e.g., Historically Black Colleges 
and Universities. Attempts will be made to tailor advertising and recruitment tools to minority groups and 
to enlist the help of subject advocacy groups in high minority population centers. 
4.5 
Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Groups 
This study is double-blind and placebo-controlled. Enrollment will be randomized with equal probability to 
each of three double-blinded arms: two investigational arms (Arm V+G or Arm V) and a control arm (Arm 
P). The intended interventions associated with the arms are: active treatment with PROSTVAC-V/F + 
GM-CSF (Arm V+G); PROSTVAC-V/F + GM-CSF placebo (Arm V); or placebo control (Arm P).  Block 
randomization will be used to randomly assign subjects in a 1:1:1 manner.  Randomization will be 
stratified according to the following two factors, PSA (equal and above or below 50 ng/ml) and LDH 
(equal and above or below 200 U/mL).  
4.6 
Inclusion Criteria 
Eligible subjects must meet all the following criteria (there will be no exemptions for Inclusion/Exclusion 
criteria): 
1. Signed Informed Consent.  
2. Men, ≥18 years of age with documented asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic 
castration-resistant prostate cancer.

SAFETY MONITORING 
5.1 
Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) 
An independent Data Monitoring Committee will be established to ensure subject safety, to consider 
subject risks against the potential for meeting trial objectives, and to provide recommendations to BNI 
with respect to the conduct and analysis of the trial. The DMC will operate independently of BNI with the 
exception of the administration of compensation to the DMC members for DMC-related activities and non-
voting activities such as clinical trial conduct updates. The voting members of the DMC will be a multi-
disciplinary group that may include representative physicians who treat the type of subjects entered onto 
this trial; one or more individuals with statistical expertise; and if appropriate, one or more biological 
scientists. The DMC will meet either by phone or in person and will be provided with all available pertinent 
subject data in a manner specified in the approved Charter. An Executive Summary of Committee 
recommendations generated at each meeting will be forwarded to all IRBs/ECs as requested or required. 
Minutes of the closed sessions will be held in confidence by the DMC or its designee until the official 
close of the trial. The exact constitution and conduct of the DMC will be ultimately governed by the 
approved Charter. A vital status sweep will be performed in conjunction with each DMC meeting to 
ensure the most current data is being reviewed. 
5.2 
Dose-limiting Toxicities and Trial Stopping Rules 
5.2.1 
Dose-limiting Toxicities 
For the purposes of this trial, a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as any anaphylactic reaction, a full-
thickness ulceration/necrosis, or any AE ≥ Grade 3 definitely related to study drug with the following 
exceptions:

• 
Local injection site reactions lasting < 72 hours: pain, redness, swelling, induration, or 
pruritus 
• 
Systemic injection reactions lasting < 72 hours: fever; myalgia, headache, nausea, 
fatigue 
Study drug should be discontinued for the subject in the case of a definitely related anaphylactic reaction 
or full-thickness ulceration/necrosis. Re-exposure to study drug after development of other related AE ≥ 
Grade 3 should only occur if the event resolved or is reduced to grade 1 toxicity. 
5.2.2 
Trial Stopping Rules 
In the event of a death definitely related to study drug within 24 hours of vaccination or ≥ 3 definitely 
related SAEs (per 20 patients) at any time after receiving study drug during the treatment period, dosing 
will halt immediately and the DMC will be consulted. All data will be reviewed prior to any further dosing, 
and dosing will not continue until the DMC agrees that it is safe to continue. At the discretion of the DMC, 
the FDA or other Health Regulatory Agencies may be consulted. The decision to permanently halt the trial 
may only be made by BNI Executive Committee. 
5.3 
Emergency Unblinding Of Treatment Assignment (If Applicable) 
All investigational vaccine products for this study have been packaged and labeled in a blinded fashion. 
GM-CSF will be labeled for investigational use as required by the local and regional Health Authorities, 
Lyophilized GM-CSF is not packaged and labeled in a blinded fashion. Reconstituted GM-CSF or GM-
CSF placebo in single-use syringes is blinded. Unblinding by study site personnel for adverse events 
should only be performed in emergencies where knowledge of the subject’s treatment assignment is 
essential for further management of the subject’s medical care.  Unblinding a subject’s treatment 
assignment under any other circumstances will be considered a protocol violation.  The Principal 
Investigator is strongly encouraged to contact the BNI Medical Monitor before unblinding any subject’s 
treatment assignment, but must at least do so within 1 working day after the unblinding.  Although the 
Medical Monitor should be contacted the subject’s treatment code should not be communicated to the 
Medical Monitor. Emergency unblinding for adverse events will be performed through an interactive voice-
response system (IVRS).  All calls resulting in an unblinding event are recorded and reported by the 
IVRS.  Emergency unblinding must also be documented at the study site.  The Medical Monitor will 
receive notification of unblinding from IVRS but will not be notified of the subject’s treatment assignment. 
5.4 
Removal of Subjects from Therapy or Assessment 
Subjects may withdraw consent for participation in the study at any time without prejudice.  Additionally, 
the investigator may withdraw a subject if, in his/her clinical judgment, it is in the best interest of the 
subject or if the subject cannot or will not comply with the protocol. Wherever possible, the End-of-Study 
tests and evaluations listed in Section 7.4 should be carried out at the time the subject withdraws or 
whenever the Investigator feels that the subject will be unable to make any further visits.

If a subject fails to return for the necessary visits or discontinues prematurely from the study, a genuine 
effort must be made to determine the reason why. If the subject or his designated contact is unreachable 
by telephone, the minimum of a registered letter should be sent requesting that contact be made with the 
Investigator (or designee) to report survival information. Every attempt possible to obtain follow-up blood 
samples for safety and immune monitoring should be made. Request for an autopsy, autopsy report and 
death certificate when/if the subject expires while on trial should be pursued. 
BNI may discontinue individual subjects, study arms, individual study centers, or the entire study at any 
time provided sufficient time is given to ensure subject safety. 
5.4.1 
Clinical or Kinetic Progression: Removal of Subjects from Therapy 
Subjects who experience a significant clinical progression during the treatment phase (i.e., before last 
vaccination is received) will be counseled to seek alternative therapy.  Significant clinical progression is 
defined by the need to institute scheduled narcotic pain relief measures for cancer-related pain, or 
acceleration of tumor growth kinetics by PSA (PSA doubling time <1 month). Such subjects are allowed to 
continue vaccine therapy at the discretion of the PI if the decision is made not to seek alternative anti-
cancer treatment(s). If subjects choose to initiate alternative anti-cancer treatment, vaccination will be 
discontinued. All subjects will continue on study and will be followed for survival and safety per protocol.  
5.4.2 
Biochemical or Radiological Progression: Continuation of Therapy 
Vaccination may take several months to induce an immune response.  PSA declines and radiological 
responses are infrequent, and the expectation is for a slowing of ongoing disease progression. Due to the 
delayed effect of vaccine induced immunotherapy, PSA progression and radiological progression may be 
expected during the treatment phase of the trial, and are not a cause for stopping vaccination.  Continued 
vaccination to maximize immune response is believed to be beneficial based on earlier clinical trials. 
5.5 
Replacement Policy 
5.5.1 
Subjects 
No subjects will be replaced in this study.  All subjects who receive at least one dose of PROSTVAC-V/F 
or placebo will be considered evaluable and will be included in all appropriate analyses as described in 
Section 9.0. 
5.5.2 
Research Centers 
Centers will be opened only after all requirements for documentation have been met as defined by 
Appendix M (M-I-C-1) of the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (April 
2002) or the appropriate regional or national guidelines outside the United States. If an approved 
institution declines further participation or is dropped for any reason, or if enrollment lags, new centers 
may be added under the same restrictions.

STUDY TREATMENTS 
6.1 
Investigational Study Drug Accountability  
Prior to study start, each Investigator will provide the actual location (facility, room number, and 
freezer/refrigerator number, if any) and identify the pharmacist, study coordinator, sub-investigators, or 
other personnel who will have access to the drug, and if different from above, any personnel who will 
have preparation, administration, receipt and disposal responsibilities of the study drug. It should be 
noted that reconciliation of PROSTVAC-V/F and GM-CSF vials will be performed by an independent 
unblinded monitor in order to keep the study monitor blinded.  
Accurate records of dates, quantities and the lot or vial numbers of all study drug received, to whom 
dispensed (subject-by-subject accounting), and accounts of any product accidentally wasted or 
intentionally disposed of must be maintained.  The disposal of all used, partially used, or wasted study 
drug vials and syringes must be performed in accordance with the hospital or institution’s drug disposal 
policy for infectious medical waste.  Used vials will not be retained by the pharmacy for drug 
accountability. The institution’s policy for disposal must be kept in the Pharmacy Manual and a copy 
provided to BNI. 
Accountability records must be maintained and readily available for inspection by representatives of BNI 
or designee and are open to inspection by regulatory authorities at any time. 
6.2 
Assessment of Study Drug Compliance  
Accountability and reconciliation of drug dispensing and administration compliance will be assessed by 
review of adequate drug dispensing (including return) records performed periodically by the unblinded 
monitor. 
A drug dispensing log must be kept current and will be reviewed periodically throughout the study by the 
unblinded monitor. 
6.3 
Disposal of Drug Supplies 
Local or institutional regulations require immediate disposal of used study drug.  The investigational site 
staff is to destroy any dispensed study drug vials and syringes in accordance with the institution’s policy. 
Source document verification will be performed on the remaining inventory and reconciled against the 
documentation of quantity shipped, dispensed, and disposed. Each research center must provide BNI a 
statement of the institutional policy and procedures for disposing of material with a Biosafety rating of 
RG2 (Appendix 14.2; RAC Guidelines 2002, Appendix B or equivalent outside the United States) and the 
institution’s policy and procedures for disposal of hazardous waste or biologic products.  A copy of the 
policy must be placed in the Pharmacy Manual and provided to BNI.  
At the conclusion of the Treatment phase of the study, all unused vaccine, GM-CSF, and placebo 
supplies (collectively, study medication) will be either disposed of on site or by a licensed facility

contracted by the site following final reconciliation. Subjects who received home-injections will be 
instructed to return all used and unused GM-CSF syringes to the site for disposal (not applicable to 
subjects enrolled in France as they must return to the clinic to receive GM-CSF injections). BNI or its 
designee will provide logs to each site pharmacy for recording IP dispensing (subject ID, date, disposal, 
etc.). Sites may use their own logs provided the required data is adequately captured. 
6.4 
PROSTVAC-V/F  
PROSTVAC-V is considered a BSL-2 agent; PROSTVAC-F is considered BSL-1 (but may be considered 
BSL-2 outside the United States, depending on country specific requirements). All vaccines in this trial 
should be handled using standard infection control procedures and study staff should wear personal 
protection consisting of at least a lab coat, gloves, and protective eyewear when handling  
PROSTVAC-V/F. More complete instructions and guidelines are included in the Study Instruction Manual 
and Pharmacy Manual.  
PROSTVAC-V/F is prepared in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 10% glycerol and stored at -70˚C 
or colder until the day of use. Once used and accounted for, vials should be disposed of according to 
institutional standards, local and occupational safety guidelines. 
There is no pre-treatment regimen for PROSTVAC-V/F. 
PROSTVAC-V/F should not be mixed with any other medicinal product.  Refer to the pharmacy manual 
for instructions regarding administration. 
Subjects should remain in the clinic for at least 30 minutes following administration of PROSTVAC-V/F or 
placebo for observation for signs of adverse reactions. 
6.5 
GM-CSF 
GM-CSF (sargramostim; Leukine®) is a glycosylated, recombinant human GM-CSF manufactured by 
Genzyme Corporation.  GM-CSF is an altered form of the native molecule; the position 23 arginine has 
been replaced with a leucine to facilitate expression. Leukine is preserved with benzyl alcohol and 
provided in vials containing 250 μg of lyophilized product. GM-CSF is reconstituted using USP 
bacteriostatic water for injection (1.0 ml per vial). Refer to the Pharmacy Manual for instructions regarding 
administration). 
If the subject or their caregiver is proficient at self injection (as determined by the study staff), (s)he may 
be provided with the pre-filled syringes of GM-CSF (or placebo) for self injection for each of 3 consecutive 
days following the day of vaccination. If the subject or their caregiver is unable or does not wish to self 
inject, the subject must return to the clinic for three consecutive days following the vaccination to receive 
the GM-CSF or placebo (subjects enrolled in France must return to the clinic for three consecutive days 
following the vaccination to receive GM-CSF or placebo).

Subject Instructions and Supplies 
Subjects, and if possible, subject caregivers, should be educated as to the care of the injection site, 
including proper bandage changing, bathing, possible side effects, and minimization of contact with at-risk 
individuals. Subjects will be provided with injection site care ‘kits’ containing, for example; instruction 
sheets, disposable gloves, absorbent toweling, alcohol swabs, non-adherent Telfa-type bandages, band-
aids, zip-lock biohazard bags for disposal of used bandages and gloves, pre-filled syringes for home 
injection of GM-CSF or placebo, a cold pack, a sharps container, and contact information for the study 
personnel (not applicable to subjects enrolled in 
as they must return to the clinic to receive GM-
CSF injections). Subjects should be instructed to return the zip-lock biohazard bag containing all used 
supplies at their next clinic visit. 
6.7 
Dose Reductions and Contraindications for PROSTVAC-V/F 
There are no dose reductions for this study. Subjects who experience intolerable reactions will be 
discontinued from treatment but will remain on study and be followed for safety, immune status, and 
survival per protocol. PROSTVAC-V/F will be discontinued as defined in Section 5.4.  Subjects 
discontinued from further vaccination should remain on study and continue to be followed for safety, 
immune status, and survival per protocol. 
For acute illnesses (fever, infectious disease, respiratory insufficiency, chest pain, angina, etc.) present at 
the time of a scheduled vaccination, the vaccination can be delayed until symptoms subside, the 
underlying process is treated or resolves, or the subject may be withdrawn at the discretion of the 
Investigator. If vaccinations are delayed due to acute illness, timing for scheduled assessments and 
remaining vaccinations should be reestablished according to the original Schedule of Events  
(Appendix 14.1) as soon as possible. 
6.8 
Procedures for Potential Serious Vaccinia Reaction 
The Investigator must notify an Infectious Disease Specialist in the 
Pharmacovigilance Group (PVG) 
if there is a suspected serious vaccinia reaction as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours after 
he/she becomes aware. The Investigator should contact the BNI study Medical Monitor if there are 
specific questions in regard to the potential vaccinia reaction.  A swab of the suspected lesion may be 
obtained from the study subject for confirmatory testing prior to administration of VIG. The Investigator 
should refer to the Management Plan for Potential Serious Vaccinia Reaction for recognition, diagnosis 
and treatment of a rare potential serious vaccinia reaction.  This plan also describes when VIG is 
indicated for use and administration procedures.  For further information or for a supply of VIG in the 
United States, contact the Centers for Disease Control at (877) 554-4625. For centers outside the United 
States, VIG suppliers (where known) are listed in the Study Instruction Manual. The Investigator should 
refer to the Management Plan for Potential Serious Vaccinia Reaction.  If VIG treatment is warranted, the

Concomitant and Excluded Medications 
6.9.1 
Concomitant Medications: 
Subjects will be on concomitant androgen suppression therapy with a GnRH agonist or antagonist, unless 
surgically castrated.  Subjects may also be on concomitant drugs to prevent bone loss or skeletal-related 
events, including bisphosphonates and denosumab. Subjects may receive palliative radiotherapy during 
the trial. 
6.9.2 
Excluded Medications: 
During the Treatment phase of the study (approximately 5 months) all medications required for the health 
of the subject are allowed with the following exceptions: 
• 
Concurrent chemotherapy  
• 
Concurrent 
immunotherapy 
(e.g. 
sipuleucel-T, 
etc.) 
or 
immunosuppressive 
therapy  
(e.g. etanercept, natalizumab, etc.)  
• 
Concurrent anti-cancer radionuclides 
• 
Concurrent systemic corticosteroid use (daily or every other day for continued use  
> 14 days) 
• 
Concomitant use of secondary anti-cancer hormonal treatments (e.g. abiraterone) 
6.10 
Overdose 
Because PROSTVAC-V and PROSTVAC-F are provided in single-dose vials there is no potential for an 
overdose.  The highest single dose of PROSTVAC-V (2x108 Inf. U.) or PROSTVAC-F (1x109 Inf. U.) used 
in human studies did not show any dose-limiting toxicity.  
Because the GM-CSF dose on this study is approximately five times lower than the approved therapeutic 
dose, there is no potential for an overdose.  Possible side effects with the use of standard dosage are

beginning withdrawal of therapy. No other screening procedures should be performed until it is clear that 
the subject is eligible as defined in Sections 4.6 and 4.7.  Subjects requiring wash-out and re-testing will 
be asked to re-sign an informed consent form prior to any additional screening procedures. Screening 
assessments performed greater than 28 days prior to first dose will need to be repeated except as 
specified below.  Subjects must be entered into IVRS after signing Informed Consent and prior to any 
screening procedures being initiated.

7.4 
End-of-Treatment Visit – Week 25 or When A Subject Discontinues Treatment 
The End-of-Treatment visit is approximately 4 weeks ± 3 days after the last injection of vaccine or 
placebo.  The tests and evaluations listed for the End-of-Treatment/Early Termination Visit should be 
carried out at the time of any premature subject withdrawal (subject- or investigator-directed) or whenever 
the investigator feels that the subject will be or is unable or unwilling to make any further visits. If a 
subject discontinues treatment early for any reason, every attempt should be made to document the 
reason for the discontinuation.   
Any subject who requests to stop study treatment or has been withdrawn from study treatment before 
completion of the protocol-specified treatment duration will be strongly encouraged to complete the 
evaluations below, and encouraged to participate in the Long-Term Follow-Up Phase of the study 
provided the subject has not withdrawn full consent.  
1. Adverse events – will be collected by non-directive questioning, self-reported or directly observed 
occurring since last visit, and discuss and/or resolve any previously reported or ongoing events. 
2. Concomitant medications – record all medications being taken currently and record all previously 
taken, but discontinued drugs.

7.5 
Assessments During Long-Term Follow-Up 
The Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) phase begins immediately after the End-of-Treatment visit regardless 
of the total number of vaccinations actually received by a subject. The first visit is 6 calendar months ± 14 
days after the End-of-Treatment visit with consecutive visits every 6 months ± 14 days thereafter.  
Subjects who progress prior to or during the LTFU phase will continue to be followed for survival and as 
described below until study closure or death.  
First LTFU visit at 6 Months ± 14 Days from the End-of-Treatment visit 
1. Concomitant medications (limited to the treatment of prostate cancer therapy). All previously 
recorded medication entries should be reviewed for stop dates. 
2. Prostate cancer treatment update for procedures, including interim unscheduled laboratory tests 
and/or radiological assessments. 
3.  Update for newly diagnosed autoimmune disease. 
4. Physical exam (limited to assessment of subject’s prostate cancer status including prostate 
cancer progression), vital signs, and weight. 
5. QoL (FACT-P, BPI-SF and EQ-5D-3L) 
6. Blood samples obtained for: 
i. Serum for immune and biomarker status.

7.6 
Safety Assessments  
Subjects will be followed during the Treatment phase of the study for any signs or symptoms of treatment-
emergent toxicity by means of an abbreviated physical exam, hematology, serum chemistry panels, ECG, 
and recording of AEs and concomitant medications. 
7.7 
Biological and Immune Response Assessments 
To evaluate biological responses to vaccinations, serum as well as whole blood samples will be collected 
from all enrolled subjects at Screening, End-of-Treatment visit, and the first LTFU visit. Serum samples 
may be analyzed for immune and biomarker status, such as the development of antibodies to the vaccinia 
and fowlpox virus vectors, the PSA insert, other prostate specific antigens, tumor associated antigens, 
changes in cytokine and chemokine expression and circulating tumor markers. In addition, whole blood 
will be drawn into tubes containing an RNA preservative, which will allow for possible future analysis of 
selected tumor and immune cell gene expression profiles by quantitative PCR as well as other methods.  
Circulating tumor cell (CTC) characterization and immune functional analysis will only be performed for 
the subjects in the United States. Whole blood will be collected for the enumeration of CTC levels and for 
the isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for immune functional assays. PBMCs will be 
evaluated for PSA antigen-specific responses by ELISPOT and flow cytometric-based methods. 
Determinant spreading to other prostate antigens and tumor-associated antigens will also be examined. 
All evaluations will be performed at laboratories using standardized procedures. Subject samples may be 
kept for up to one year past the end of the trial for assay development, implementation, and data review. 
These described analyses may generate a large dataset that could potentially enable the identification of 
new potential biomarkers of disease prognosis and/or vaccine response. 
7.8 
Laboratory Tests and Radiological Assessments 
Samples of blood and urine will be obtained for the tests listed in the Schedule of Events. On the day of 
vaccination all samples will be collected prior to vaccine/placebo administration. Follow-up samples will 
be obtained as clinically indicated. All lab report print-outs will be collected and kept with the appropriate

ADVERSE EVENTS  
For the purposes of this trial, “study vaccine” is defined as PROSTVAC-V/F. Study medication is defined 
as study vaccine, GM-CSF, or placebo. 
8.1 
Investigator’s Responsibilities  
Investigators are responsible for monitoring the safety of subjects who have entered this study and for 
assuring appropriate medical care is provided. In addition, investigators are responsible for alerting BNI or 
its designee to any event that seems unusual, even if the event may be considered an unanticipated 
benefit to the subject, and for reporting the event on the appropriate CRF or safety report form.  
Investigators are responsible for providing subjects who experience adverse events, especially SAEs that 
cause subjects to discontinue participation in the study, with appropriate medical care. Frequency of 
follow-up of any particular adverse event is left to the discretion of the investigator.  Duration of follow-up 
and requirement for immediate SAE reporting (within 24 hours of becoming aware of the event) are 
described below. 
8.2 
Definition of Adverse Events (AE) 
An AE is any untoward (unfavorable, harmful, or pathologic) medical occurrence in a subject administered 
a pharmaceutical (investigational) product even if the event does not necessarily have a causal 
relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including 
an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal 
(investigational) product whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product (ICH E2A II/A/1, 
21 CFR 312.32).   
For the purpose of this clinical study, adverse events include only treatment-emergent events which are 
either new or represent detectable exacerbations of pre-existing conditions. Adverse events may include, 
but are not limited to: 
1. Subjective or objective symptoms spontaneously offered by the subject and/or observed by the 
Investigator or study staff including laboratory abnormalities of clinical significance.  Any adverse 
events experienced by the subject through the completion of final study procedures. 
2. AEs not previously observed in the subject that emerge during the protocol-specific AE reporting 
period, including signs or symptoms associated with metastatic castration-resistant prostate 
cancer that were not present before the AE reporting period 
3. Complications that occur as a result of protocol-mandated interventions

Disclosure requires written consent from Bavarian Nordic, Inc. 
For the purposes of this study, the following exceptions to the definitions above will NOT be considered 
an Adverse Event: 
Pre-existing condition: A pre-existing condition (documented on the medical history CRF) is not 
considered and AE unless the severity, frequency, or character of the event worsens during the study 
period.  
Preplanned hospitalization: A hospitalization planned before signing the informed consent form is not 
considered an SAE, but rather a therapeutic intervention. However, if during the pre-planned 
hospitalization an event occurs, which prolongs the hospitalization or meets any other SAE criteria, the 
event will be considered an SAE. Surgeries or interventions that were under consideration, but not 
performed before enrollment in the study will not be considered serious if they are performed after 
enrollment in the study for a condition that has not changed from its baseline level. Hospitalizations for 
social reasons or due to long travel distances are also not SAEs.  Diagnostic testing and procedures: 
Testing and procedures should not be reported as adverse events or serious adverse events, but rather 
the cause for the test or procedure should be reported. 
8.3 
Definition of Expected and Unexpected Events 
8.3.1 
Expected Events 
Expected events are those that have been previously identified as resulting from administration of the 
investigational product.  For the purpose of this study, an adverse event is considered expected when it 
appears in the current adverse event list, the Investigator’s Brochure, the package insert or is included in 
the informed consent document as a potential risk.  An event will be considered expected if the event is 
thought to be related to a study procedure, and the event occurs with reasonable frequency and similar 
intensity in the day-to-day care of a patient with prostate cancer treated with GnRH agonists or 
bisphosphonates.  Examples of adverse events that are expected during the course of treatment for 
prostate cancer with GnRH agonists include, but are not limited to malaise/fatigue, hot flashes/sweating, 
gynecomastia, testicular atrophy or pain, impotence, and clinically significant and non-significant 
alterations in laboratory parameters including transient increases in testosterone levels. For subjects 
taking bisphosphonates (e.g., Zometa), expected events would include flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, 
myalgia, fatigue), injection site redness, swelling, and pain (for injection or infusion-delivered 
bisphosphonates); joint and/or muscle pain; osteonecrosis of the jaw, and renal insufficiency. Expected 
events associated with GM-CSF (at therapeutic doses) include mild to moderate headache, fever, 
arthralgia, chills, and myalgia. Injection site reactions such as pain, redness, swelling, induration, and 
pruritus, or systemic injection reactions such as fever ≥ 104°F; myalgia, headache, nausea, fatigue lasting 
less than 72 hours are expected events for PROSTVAC-V/F. 
If, however, the investigator considers an expected event to be unexpectedly severe or more frequent 
than usual for a patient with prostate cancer treated with GnRH agonists/antagonists, GM-CSF, or 
bisphosphonates, the event will be captured on the AE CRF (see below). Similarly, if the event is

PROSTVAC-V/F 
Version 2.7, 08 February 2017  
CONFIDENTIAL AND RESTRICTED 
54

Disclosure requires written consent from Bavarian Nordic, Inc. 
associated with PROSTVAC-V/F, and is unexpectedly severe, such as a dose-limiting toxicity, it will also 
be recorded on the AE CRF. 
8.3.2 
Unexpected Events  
Unexpected events are those considered unexpected when it varies in nature, intensity or frequency from 
the information provided in the current adverse event list, the Investigator’s Brochure, the package insert 
or when it is not included the informed consent document as a potential risk.  An event will be considered 
to be unexpected for GnRH agonist/antagonist, GM-CSF, or bisphosphonate therapy or a study 
procedure if it is not identified in the package insert, or is unexpectedly more severe or more frequent 
than events described in the package insert, or is related to PROSTVAC-V/F (with the exceptions for 
injection site and systemic reactions as noted above). 
8.4 
Collecting and Recording Adverse Events 
The Investigator will monitor the occurrence of adverse event for each subject during the course of the 
study. All AEs (as defined above) reported by the subject, observed by the Investigator, or documented in 
medical records will be listed on the AE CRF, whether believed by the Investigator to be related or 
unrelated to the study vaccine.  
All AEs must be reviewed, graded and causality determined by an Investigator listed on the form FDA 
1572 at the research center reporting the event(s). Collection of adverse events begins at the time the 
subject signs informed consent and continues for 28 days following administration of the last dose of 
study medication. 
Adverse event terms should be recorded concisely, using acceptable medical terms. When possible, a 
diagnosis (i.e., disease or syndrome) rather than the component signs and symptoms should be recorded 
on the CRF (e.g., congestive heart failure rather than dyspnea, rales, and cyanosis).  However, signs and 
symptoms considered unrelated to syndromes or diseases are to be recorded as individual adverse 
events on the CRF (e.g., if congestive heart failure and severe headache are observed at the same time, 
each event is to be recorded as an individual adverse event). Only abnormal laboratory values that result 
in clinical sequelae or require medication for treatment should be recorded as an adverse event. The 
adverse event should not be recorded as a procedure or clinical measurement (i.e., a laboratory or vital 
sign). The underlying reason for the procedure or the abnormal clinical measurements, and, whenever 
possible, a diagnosis, should be recorded.  The diagnosis should be recorded; not the individual lab test 
name. 
Death is considered to be an outcome of an adverse event. The cause of death should be recorded on 
the AE CRF (e.g., congestive heart failure with an outcome of death rather than the term “death”).

8.4.1 
Progression of Underlying Malignancy 
It is anticipated that a proportion of subjects will experience disease progression. When clinical disease 
progression is identified, the clinical event which marks or identifies the disease progression should be 
reported as the adverse event term for standard AE reporting, including SAE reporting, per ICH 
definitions of AE and SAE as reviewed in Section 8.2 and Section 8.8 of this protocol, respectively. 
For the purpose of this study, progression of underlying malignancy is not considered an (S)AE. 
Hospitalization, prolonged hospitalization, or death due solely to the progression of underlying malignancy 
will be captured on the AE CRF, but may NOT be reported as an SAE. Clinical symptoms of progression 
may be reported as AEs if they cannot be determined to be exclusively due to the progression, or if they 
do not fit the expected pattern of progression for prostate cancer.  
Symptomatic deterioration may occur in the absence of radiographic evidence of tumor progression in 
some subjects. Alternatively, the disease progression may be so evident that the investigator may elect 
not to perform further assessments. In such cases, the determination of clinical progression is based on 
symptomatic deterioration. In these cases, efforts should be made to quantitatively document the 
progression of the underlying malignancy to the extent possible.  
If there is any uncertainty about an adverse event being due to the progression of prostate cancer, it 
should be reported as an (S)AE. 
8.4.2 
Pregnancy of a Female Partner 
For the purposes of this study, pregnancy of a female partner will be captured using a modified SAE 
report form, however; the event is not considered an SAE and will be reported to the appropriate 
regulatory authorities in the annual safety update. Partner pregnancies will be followed through the term 
of the pregnancy or pregnancy termination and the birth of the child after the female partner has signed 
the Pregnant Partner Informed Consent Form.  Subjects and their partners will be counseled as to any 
possible known risks to either the partner or the child. 
8.4.3 
Accidental Transmission of Vaccinia Virus 
Accidental transmission of vaccinia virus to a clinic staff member or a member of the subject’s family or 
personal contacts must be reported to the Investigator as soon as possible, but no later than 24hours 
after he/she becomes aware.  The Investigator must notify an Infectious Disease Specialist in the 
 
Pharmacovigilance Group (PVG) if there is a suspected serious vaccinia reaction as soon as possible, 
but no later than 24 hours after he/she becomes aware.. The Investigator should contact the BNI study 
Medical Monitor if there are specific questions in regard to the potential vaccinia reaction.  A swab of the 
suspected lesion may be obtained from the study subject for confirmatory testing prior to administration of 
VIG. The Investigator should refer to the Management Plan for Potential Serious Vaccinia Reaction for 
recognition, diagnosis and treatment of a rare potential serious vaccinia reaction.  This plan also 
describes when VIG is indicated for use and administration procedures.  For further information or for a

supply of VIG in the United States, contact the Centers for Disease Control at (877) 554-4625. For 
centers outside the United States, VIG suppliers (where known) are listed in the Study Instruction Manual. 
The Investigator should refer to the Management Plan for Potential Serious Vaccinia Reaction.  If VIG 
treatment is warranted, the person receiving VIG must sign the Consent Form to Administer Vaccinia 
Immune Globulin (VIG) PRIOR to administration of VIG. 
8.5 
Assessment of Relationship to Study Drug (Causality) 
Investigators are required to assess the causal relationship (i.e., whether there is reasonable possibility 
that the study drug caused the event) using the following definitions:  
Unrelated: Another cause of the adverse event is more plausible; a temporal sequence cannot be 
established with the onset of the adverse event and administration of the investigational product; or, 
a causal relationship is considered biologically implausible.  
Possibly Related: There is clinically plausible time sequence between onset of the adverse event 
and administration of the investigational product, but the adverse event could also be attributed to 
concurrent or underlying disease, or the use of other drugs or procedures. Possibly related should 
be used when the investigational product is one of several biologically plausible adverse event 
causes. 
Definitely Related: The adverse event is clearly related to use of the investigational product.  
8.6 
Severity of Adverse Events (Grading) 
Adverse events will be categorized and graded by the Investigator using standard terminology for grading 
the severity (intensity) of the AE. This study will use the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (NCI CTCAE v 4.0) five-point scale, Grades 1 to 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for 
each referenced AE.A copy of the CTCAE version 4.0 can be downloaded from the CTEP website at: 
http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/ctc.htm.  A hard copy will be provided 
by BNI upon request. 
Should a subject experience any AE not listed in the CTCAE v4.0, the following grading system should be 
used to assess severity:

Note: The terms “severe” and “serious” are not synonymous. Severity (or intensity) refers to the grade of 
an AE (see below). “Serious” is a regulatory definition. A serious adverse event (experience) or reaction is 
an untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
• 
Results in death (i.e., the AE actually causes or leads to death) 
• 
Is life-threatening (with regards to determining if an AE is serious, “life-threatening” is defined 
as an AE in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event.  It does not refer to 
an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe. If either the 
Investigator or the Sponsor believes that an AE meets the definition of life-threatening, it will 
be considered life-threatening). 
• 
Requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (i.e., the AE results in substantial 
disruption of the subject’s ability to conduct normal life functions) 
• 
Results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• 
Is medically significant 
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether other situations, such as 
important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization 
but may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in 
the definition above, should also be considered serious.  Examples of such events are intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not 
result in hospitalization; or development of drug dependency or drug abuse). Given the Investigator’s

perspective may be informed by having actually observed the event, the Sponsor is likely to have broader 
knowledge of the drug and its effects to inform its evaluation of the significance of the event, if either the 
Sponsor or the Investigator believes that the event is serious, the event will be considered serious. 
For the purposes of this trial, death is an expected outcome of disease progression and/or sequelae and 
will not be considered an SAE.  Death due to causes other than underlying disease progression should 
be reported on the AE and SAE page and should also be reported on the CRF death page.  
For the purposes of this trial, the following will NOT be considered SAEs: 
• 
Hospitalizations < 24 hours, or for planned surgeries or procedures. 
• 
Progression of underlying malignancy as a stand-alone event term; clinical events 
associated with disease progression should be reported as AEs or SAEs as applicable. 
• 
Death due to progression of underlying malignancy 
8.9 
Definition of Unexpected Serious Adverse Events 
An unexpected SAE is one in which the specificity or severity is not consistent with the current applicable 
product information (Investigators’ Brochure or drug prescribing label), or one that has not been observed 
previously (rather than from the perspective of such experience not being anticipated from the 
pharmacological properties of the pharmaceutical product). 
8.10 
Definition of Suspected Adverse Reaction 
The FDA has published guidance on the reporting of SAEs (Safety Reporting requirements for INDs and 
BA/BE studies, December 2012).  This document directs Sponsors to consider more carefully the adverse 
events that are reported in an expedited (urgent) fashion to the FDA.  Key elements of this guidance are 
outlined below: 
The guidance defines any adverse event for which there is a “reasonable possibility” that the drug caused 
the adverse event as a Suspected Adverse Reaction.  
“Reasonable Possibility”, for the purposes of safety reporting, means there is evidence to suggest a 
causal relationship between the drug and the adverse event.  Examples of evidence that would suggest a 
causal relationship between the drug and the adverse event are: 
• 
A single occurrence of an event that is uncommon and known to be strongly associated with 
drug exposure (e.g., angioedema, blood dyscrasias, rhabdomyolysis, hepatic injury, 
anaphylaxis, and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome).  
• 
One or more occurrences of an event that is not commonly associated with drug exposure, 
but is otherwise uncommon in the population exposed to the drug (e.g., include tendon 
rupture or heart valve lesions in young adults, or intussusception in healthy infants).  If the 
event occurs in association with other factors strongly suggesting causation (e.g., strong 
temporal association, event recurs on rechallenge), a single case may be sufficiently

persuasive; but often, more than one occurrence (from one or multiple studies) would be 
needed before the Sponsor could make a determination of whether the drug caused the 
event.  
• 
An aggregate analysis of specific events that can be anticipated to occur in the study 
population independent of drug exposure.  Such events include known consequences of the 
underlying disease or condition under investigation (e.g., symptoms or disease progression), 
or events unlikely to be related to the underlying disease or condition under investigation, but 
commonly occur in the study population independent of drug therapy (e.g., cardiovascular 
events in an elderly population).  An aggregate analysis (across studies) will identify those 
events that occur more frequently in the drug treatment group than in a concurrent or 
historical control group. 
This definition of “suspected adverse reaction” and the application of the “reasonable possibility” causality 
standard is considered to be consistent with the concepts and discussion about causality in the 
International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) E2A guidance. 
8.11 
Documenting and Reporting of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events  
The Investigator is responsible for ensuring that all AEs and SAEs that are observed or reported during 
the study, as outlined in the prior sections, are recorded on the CRF.   
An event may qualify for expedited reporting to worldwide regulatory authorities if it is a Serious Adverse 
Event, Serious Adverse Drug Reaction or Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR) in 
line with relevant legislation, including the European Commission Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC). 
Expectedness of SAEs will be determined by BNI using the reference safety information specified in the 
Investigator’s Brochure. All investigators will receive a safety letter notifying them of relevant SUSAR 
reports.  
In accordance with the European Commission Directive 2001/20/EC, BNIT or designee will notify the 
relevant Ethics Committees in concerned Member States of applicable SUSARs as individual notifications 
or through a periodic line listing. 
The Sponsor makes the determination of expedited reporting of an SAE to Regulatory Authorities.  
Regulatory Authorities, Institutional Review Boards/Research Ethics Boards/Independent Ethics 
Committees (IRBs/REBs/IECs), and Principal Investigators will be notified of SAEs in accordance with 
applicable requirements (e.g., GCPs, ICH guidelines, national regulations, and local requirements).  The 
Investigator is responsible for complying with the responsible IRB/IEC’s procedures of adverse event 
reporting.  It is the responsibility of the Investigator to promptly inform the relevant IRB/IEC of these new 
adverse events/risks to subjects, in accordance with the US FDA Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 21 
CFR 312.66.

BNI has an internal medical safety review committee that will review and evaluate accumulating safety 
data from the entire clinical trial database for PROSTVAC-V/F at appropriate intervals (e.g., quarterly) to 
identify new safety signals or increased frequency of events.     
8.12 
Adverse Event Reporting Period 
The AE reporting period for this study begins with signing of the informed consent and ends 28 days 
following administration of the last dose of study medication.  If an SAE is present at the EOT Visit, the 
SAE (and associated AEs and concomitant medications) should be followed to resolution or until the 
Investigator assesses the subject as stable, or the subject is lost to follow-up or withdraws consent.  
Resolution/stable means the subject has returned to baseline state of health or the Investigator does not 
expect any further improvement or worsening of the event. 
New SAEs will be collected until 28 days following administration of the last dose of study medication . If 
an SAE comes to the attention of the investigator after the end of the study, information regarding the 
SAE should be collected and reported only if assessed as possibly or definitely related by the 
investigator. 
8.13 
Assessment of Adverse Events 
Investigators will assess the occurrence of AEs and SAEs at all subject evaluation time points during the 
study.  All AEs and SAEs whether volunteered by the subject, discovered by study personnel during 
questioning, or detected through physical examination, clinically significant laboratory test, or other 
means will be recorded in the subject’s medical record and on the AE CRF and, when applicable, on the 
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) report form. 
Each recorded AE or SAE will be described by its duration (i.e., start and end dates), severity, regulatory 
seriousness criteria (if applicable), suspected relationship to the investigational product, and any actions 
taken. 
Any SAE that occurs after the subject signs informed consent and until 28 days following administration of 
the last dose of study medication, irrespective of the treatment received by the subject, must be reported 
to the 
PVG within 24 hours of the investigator learning of the event.  
8.14 
Serious Adverse Events 
BNI is required to expedite to worldwide regulatory authorities reports of Serious Adverse Events, Serious 
Adverse Drug Reactions or Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) in line with 
relevant legislation, including the European Commission Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC); therefore, 
BNI (or the CRO on the behalf of BNI) must be notified immediately regarding the occurrence of any SAE 
or SADR that occurs after the subject consents to participate in the study, including SAEs/SADRs 
resulting from protocol-associated procedures as defined in relevant legislation including 2001/20/EC, 
performed from screening onwards.

All SAEs (initial and follow-up information) will be reported electronically through 
 Remote Data 
Capture (RDC) platform within 24 hours of the discovery of the event or information.  Manual SAE report 
forms are available in the Study Instructions Manual, however manual SAE report forms may be faxed to 
PVG only in the event RDC is not functioning, and must be entered into RDC when it becomes 
available.  The Sponsor may request follow-up and other additional information from the Investigator 
(e.g., hospital admission/discharge notes and laboratory results).  
All deaths should be reported with the primary cause of death as the AE term, as death is typically the 
outcome of the event, not the event itself.  The primary cause of death on the autopsy report should be 
the term reported.  Autopsy and postmortem reports must be forwarded to the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor, 
or designee, as outlined above. 
If study drug is discontinued because of an SAE, this information must be included in the SAE report. 
Investigators must report SAEs to their governing IRBs/ECs in writing as soon as possible and in 
accordance with national and local laws and regulations. 
8.15 
Treatment and Follow-up of Adverse Events or Serious Adverse Events 
From the time the subject signs informed consent until 28 days after the last vaccination, all untoward 
medical events (as defined in Section 8.2 and exceptions as noted in Section 8.4) will be documented as 
(S)AEs through the Treatment phase of the study or through the last visit of the Treatment phase of the 
study for subjects who withdraw early.  
All (S)AEs assessed as not related to study vaccine will be followed as clinically indicated until resolved, 
stabilized, or if non-resolving, until 28 days after the last vaccination, whichever comes first.  If a clear 
explanation is established, it should be recorded on the CRF. 
If an SAE is assessed as possibly or definitely related to study vaccine, it must be followed until either the 
event has resolved, stabilized, or is deemed to be non-resolvable by the investigator.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
The full details of the trial planning computations and planned analyses are contained in a separate 
Statistical Analysis Plan. Key features are summarized below. This study will be monitored by an 
independent Data Monitoring Committee and the charter for this committee is based on FDA guidance. 
9.1 
Study Design 
This 1,200 subject (approximately) study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm 
clinical trial. The primary endpoint is survival time or time to the most recent knowledge of “known to be 
alive” (censored time). Zero time is defined as the date of randomization. 
Subjects will be randomly partitioned with equal probability into one of three double-blinded arms, an 
investigational arm where the intended intervention is vaccine (PROSTVAC-V/F) plus GM-CSF (Arm 
V+G), an investigational arm where the intended intervention is vaccine (PROSTVAC-V/F) with placebo 
GM-CSF (Arm V), and a control arm where the intended intervention is an empty fowlpox vector and 
placebo GM-CSF (Arm P). 
(Arm V+G) 
PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF 
(Arm V) 
PROSTVAC-V/F plus GM-CSF placebo  
(Arm P) 
Double placebo (empty fowlpox vector / plus GM-CSF placebo). 
The association of intervention to arm will be hidden from clinical personnel and subjects by using a 
coded identifier for each intervention preparation to be administered. Specifically, the arm designators 
shown above (V+G, V, and P) are for statistical purposes. 
9.2 
Randomization 
Block randomization will be used to randomly assign subjects in a 1:1:1 manner.  Randomization will be 
stratified by PSA (equal and above, or below 50 ng/mL), and LDH (equal and above, or below 200 u/L).  
Subjects will be randomized through IVRS/IWRS. 
9.3 
Analysis Sets 
Three analysis sets are defined for this trial.  The Intent-to-Treat set (ITT) includes all subjects who are 
randomized. The full analysis set (FAS) includes all subjects initiating study intervention. The safety 
analysis set includes all subjects initiating study intervention.  The FAS and safety analysis set are the 
same. 
All efficacy analyses will be performed on the ITT set and the FAS.  Subjects will be analyzed and 
summarized based on the arm into which they were randomized.  Efficacy analysis performed on the ITT 
analysis set will be considered to be the primary indicator of efficacy. Analysis performed on the FAS will 
be considered to be supportive.

All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety set. 
9.4 
Primary Efficacy Analysis 
Two main overall comparisons of survival time are planned: A comparison between Arm V+G and Arm P, 
and a comparison between Arm V and Arm P.  Thus two separate tests will be assessed, and success for 
the trial is defined as meeting statistical criterion for either of the following comparisons. 
• 
Superiority of Arm V+G over Arm P for all subjects randomized to these arms. 
• 
Superiority of Arm V over Arm P for all subjects randomized to these arms. 
The overall type one error probability (alpha error) for the whole study is designed as a one sided 
P=0.025. There are two main overall comparisons, which therefore necessitate a type one error 
probability to 0.0125 for each comparison based on using a Bonferroni correction.  
The primary analysis methodology will be the stratified log rank test. 
9.5 
Trial Size 
The Arm P reference data for planning this trial is specified as a median survival of 22 months based on 
the placebo arm of Dendreon D9902B. Based on exponential assumptions the corresponding hazard rate 
is 0.3781 and the corresponding three-year survival is 32.2%. 
The hazard ratio to be used in the specific alternative hypotheses used to compute trial size is specified 
to be 0.68 for the main comparisons, that is, a 32% smaller hazard rate in Arm V+G or Arm V as 
compared to Arm P. This hazard ratio is based on hazard ratio estimates from the previously completed 
randomized Phase 2 trial with an allowance that the Phase 2 trial likely provides an over-optimistic 
estimate of the true hazard ratio. The hazard ratio estimate from the Phase 2 trial was 0.56, and was 
approximately 0.5 when delayed effect is taken into account (depending on the characterization of the 
delayed effect). 
Simulations project that 534 events for each between-arm comparison are required for a minimum of 85% 
power to detect a 32% lower hazard rate.  These calculations have taken in to consideration a delayed 
treatment effect (as found in the randomized phase 2 study).  If there is less delayed effect the power will 
be greater.  The projection for the time to realize the required number of deaths for final analysis is 4.6 
years following the start of accrual. 
9.6 
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint 
The secondary efficacy endpoint is a binary assessment for Alive without Event (AWE) at six months (or 
early termination). The event is any of the following on or before six months: radiological progression, 
pain progression, chemotherapy initiation, or death. Subjects without an event prior to six months will 
have an evaluation for event at six months. Subjects without event who are not evaluated at six months 
(or early termination) will be assumed to have had an event. Thus, each subject will be defined as AWE =

1 if the subject is alive and free of event at six months (or early termination) and AWE = 0 otherwise. 
AWE will have a realization for every subject and therefore is amendable to an intent-to-treat analysis. 
The same two comparisons as done for survival will be done for AWE, using the same significance levels.  
For each comparison the proportions of subjects in each arm for which AWE = 1 will be compared. The 
probability is 90% or greater that this statistical test will be significant if the true proportion difference is 
0.1375 or greater.  The critical difference is 0.092 if the control arm proportion is 0.5. 
9.7 
Safety Analyses 
The primary safety analysis set will be all subjects initiating study intervention. The primary focus will be a 
between-arm comparison of the frequency and severity of safety events without attribution. Supporting 
analyses will be comparisons of subjects according to intervention received and attribution. 
Adverse events will be summarized and tabulated by severity and by relationship to study intervention 
(attribution). The original terms used by investigators to identify AEs in the CRFs will be translated into 
preferred terms using current MedDRA Thesaurus. The AEs will be grouped by MedDRA preferred terms 
into frequency tables according to body system. The number and percentage of subjects experiencing 
adverse events will be tabulated by body system/preferred term and treatment. When an AE occurs more 
than once, the maximum severity and causality will be listed only once. Additionally, SAEs and AEs that 
are possibly or probably related to study intervention will be summarized separately.  Data listings of all 
AEs will be provided by individual subject. 
9.8 
Interim Analyses 
An interim analysis plan (IAP) is included in the SAP for this study.  Interim analyses are executed by 
 a Contract Research Organization that acts as the independent statistician 
and assessed by the DMC as described in the DMC Charter.  At each interim analysis, both unblinded 
(closed) and blinded (open) interim analysis reports will be provided to the DMC, while the sponsor will 
only receive an open (blinded) report unless one of the criteria is met.  Even in this case, the DMC will 
use its discretion regarding the communications of results to the sponsor, with patient safety balanced 
against benefit being the primary concern.   
The IAP was designed to detect early evidence of both efficacy and futility.  Interim analyses for the two 
comparisons of overall survival described in Section 9.4 are to be executed at 40%, 60%, and 80% of 
information times, corresponding to 214, 321, and 427 deaths per comparison.  The final analysis will be 
completed when 534 deaths per comparison have occurred.  To maintain an overall one-sided type I error 
probability of 0.0125 per comparison, the one-sided significance criteria using one-sided O’Brien-
Flemming boundaries for early detection of efficacy analyses are 0.000135, 0.00147, 0.00501, 
respectively, with the adjusted final analysis to use 0.01063.  The significance level to be used for 
detection of futility at each interim analysis is 0.00001.  This futility significance level was chosen in order

CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
11.1 
Protected Subject Health Information Authorization  
Information on maintaining subject confidentiality in accordance to individual local and national subject 
privacy regulations must be provided to each subject as part of the informed consent process (refer to 
Section 10.4) either as part of the informed consent form or as a separate signed document (for 
example, in the US, a site-specific Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA] consent 
may be used).  The Investigator or designee must explain to each subject that for the evaluation of study 
results, the subject’s protected health information obtained during the study may be shared with BNI and 
its designees, regulatory agencies, and IRBs/REBs/IECs.  As the study Sponsor, BNI will not use the 
subject’s protected health information or disclose it to a third party without applicable subject 
authorization.  It is the Investigator’s or designee’s responsibility to obtain written permission to use 
protected health information from each subject.  If a subject withdraws permission to use protected health 
information, it is the Investigator’s responsibility to obtain the withdrawal request in writing from the 
subject and to ensure that no further data will be collected from the subject.  Any data collected on the 
subject before withdrawal will be used in the analysis of study results. 
During the review of source documents by the monitors or auditors, the confidentiality of the subject will 
be respected with strict adherence to professional standards and regulations. 
11.2 
Study Files and Record Retention  
The Investigator must keep a record that lists all subjects considered for enrollment (including those who 
did not undergo screening) in the study.  For those subjects subsequently excluded from enrollment, the 
reason(s) for exclusion is to be recorded. 
The Investigator/study staff must maintain adequate and accurate records to enable the conduct of the 
study to be fully documented and the study data to be subsequently verified.  Essential documentation 
includes, but is not limited to, the Investigator’s Brochure, signed protocols and amendments, 
IRB/REB/IEC approval letters (dated), signed FDA Form 1572 and Financial Disclosures, signed ICFs 
(including subject confidentiality information), drug dispensing and accountability records, shipping 
records of investigational product and study-related materials, signed (electronically), dated and 
completed CRFs, and documentation of CRF corrections, SAE forms transmitted to BNI or designee and 
notification of SAEs and related reports, source documentation, normal laboratory values, decoding 
procedures for blinded studies, curricula vitae for study staff, and all relevant correspondence and other 
documents pertaining to the conduct of the study. 
All essential documentation will be retained by the Investigator for at least 2 years after the date the last 
marketing application is approved for the drug for the indication for which it is being investigated and until 
there are no pending or contemplated marketing applications; or, if no application is to be filed or if the 
application is not approved for such indication, until 2 years after formal discontinuation of clinical 
development of the drug.

documents or images (e.g., scan, radiograph, ECG tracing) at any time.  Should an Investigator wish to 
assign the study records to another party or move them to another location, advance written notice will be 
given to BNI.  BNI will inform the Investigator of the date that study records may be destroyed or returned 
to BNI. 
BNI must be notified in advance of, and BNI must provide express written approval of, any change in the 
maintenance of the foregoing documents if the Investigator wishes to move study records to another 
location or assign responsibility for record retention to another party.  If the Investigator cannot guarantee 
the archiving requirements set forth herein at his or her study site for all such documents, special 
arrangements must be made between the Investigator and BNI to store such documents in sealed 
containers away from the study site so that they can be returned sealed to the Investigator for audit 
purposes. 
11.3 
Case Report Forms and Record Maintenance 
Electronic case report forms (eCRFs) will be used to collect the clinical study data and must be completed 
for each enrolled subject with all required study data accurately recorded such that the information 
matches the data contained in medical records (e.g., physicians’ notes, nurses’ notes, clinic charts and 
other study-specific source documents).  Authorized study site personnel (i.e., listed on the Delegation of 
Authority form) will complete eCRFs designed for this study according to the completion guidelines that 
will be provided.  The Investigator will ensure that the eCRFs are accurate, complete, legible, and 
completed within 5 days of each subject’s visit.  At all times, the Investigator has final responsibility for the 
accuracy and authenticity of all clinical data. 
The eCRFs exists within an electronic data capture (EDC) system with controlled access managed by 
BNI or its authorized representative for this study.  Study staff will be appropriately trained in the use of 
eCRFs and application of electronic signatures before the start of the study and before being given 
access to the EDC system.  Original data and any changes of data will be recorded using the EDC 
system, with all changes tracked by the system and recorded in an electronic audit trail.  The Investigator 
attests that the information contained in the eCRFs is true by providing electronic signature within the 
EDC system.  After database lock, the Investigator will receive a copy of the subject data (e.g., paper, 
CD-ROM or other appropriate media) for archiving at the study site. 
11.4 
Study Monitoring/ Audit Requirements  
Representatives of BNI or its designee will monitor this study until completion.  Monitoring will be 
conducted through personal visits with the Investigator and site staff, remote monitoring, as well as any 
appropriate communications by mail, fax, email, or telephone.  The purpose of monitoring is to ensure 
that the study is conducted in compliance with the protocol, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and 
other written instructions and regulatory guidelines, and to ensure the quality and integrity of the data.  
This study is also subject to reviews or audits.

NYHA Classification – The Stages of Heart Failure 
In order to determine the best course of therapy, physicians often assess the stage of heart failure 
according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system. This system relates 
symptoms to everyday activities and the patient's quality of life. 
Class 
Patient Symptoms 
Class I (Mild) 
No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause 
undue fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea (shortness of breath). 
Class II (Mild) 
Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but ordinary 
physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea. 
Class III (Moderate) 
Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but less than 
ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea. 
Class IV (Severe) 
Unable to carry out any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of 
cardiac insufficiency at rest. If any physical activity

Rationale and Changes 
14.12.1 
Rationale 
The main reason for this administrative amendment is to address feedback from the 
 
, who requested that the study protocol be updated to contain details regarding the 
Interim Analyses described in the Statistical Analysis Plan for this study.  There is no impact to study 
design, conduct, or endpoints as a result of the language provided in Section 9.8, Interim Analyses.   
In addition, the sponsor address and medical monitor have been updated. 
14.12.2 
Changes 
General changes: 
• 
Update Sponsor Address and Medical Monitor name 
• 
Addition of Section 9.8, Interim Analyses and Section 14.12, Rationale and Changes 
• 
Updated Abbreviation list 
New text contained in the new Section 9.8, Interim Analyses is provided below 
An interim analysis plan (IAP) is included in the SAP for this study.  Interim analyses are 
executed by 
 a Contract Research Organization that acts as 
the independent statistician and assessed by the DMC as described in the DMC Charter.  
At each interim analysis, both unblinded (closed) and blinded (open) interim analysis 
reports will be provided to the DMC, while the sponsor will only receive an open (blinded) 
report unless one of the criteria is met.  Even in this case, the DMC will use its discretion 
regarding the communications of results to the sponsor, with patient safety balanced 
against benefit being the primary concern.   
The IAP was designed to detect early evidence of both efficacy and futility.  Interim 
analyses for the two comparisons of overall survival described in Section 9.4 are to be 
executed at 40%, 60%, and 80% of information times, corresponding to 214, 321, and 
427 deaths per comparison.  The final analysis will be completed when 534 deaths per 
comparison have occurred.  To maintain an overall one-sided type I error probability of 
0.0125 per comparison, the one-sided significance criteria using one-sided O’Brien-

Flemming boundaries for early detection of efficacy analyses are 0.000135, 0.00147, 
0.00501, respectively, with the adjusted final analysis to use 0.01063.  The significance 
level to be used for detection of futility at each interim analysis is 0.00001.  This futility 
significance level was chosen in order to provide a balance between the sought for 
estimated probability of detecting futility and protecting against falsely detecting futility.

1. Introduction
PROSTVAC™ (PROSTVAC V and PROSTVAC F; PROSTVAC VF) is a novel candidate 
prostate cancer immunotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is a viral vector based 
product that is administered in seven subcutaneous vaccinations over a five month period. In a 
randomized controlled Phase 2 trial, PROSTVAC therapy was associated with a prolongation of 
survival in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. 
PROSTVAC is a PSA (prostate-specific antigen)-based immunization strategy. It is intended to 
generate immune responses to prostate specific antigens and prostate cancer cells. It uses 
poxviral vectors to introduce modified PSA to the subject in an immunogenic manner to break 
self-tolerance, and thereby induce immune responses directed against prostate cancer cells. 
PROSTVAC is comprised of two component viral vectors; a recombinant vaccinia (PROSTVAC 
V) and a recombinant fowlpox (PROSTVAC F) virus to be used sequentially in a heterologous
prime-boost vaccination regimen. Both viruses contain four human genes: prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) and three genes encoding human immunological costimulatory molecules: B7.1,
intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and leukocyte function-associated antigen-3 (LFA-
3) (designated TRIad of COstimulatory Molecules or TRICOM). The simultaneous expression of
PSA and TRICOM enhances the immune response. The PSA transgene is modified at one amino
acid (I155L), to enhance binding and immunogenicity of a particular peptide epitope in HLA-
A2-expressing subjects.
2. Objectives
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center, three-arm study.  
Subjects will be randomized with equal probability to one of three arms, designated as P, V, and 
VG for statistical purposes.  A general description of the intended interventions to be applied to 
the subjects randomized to these three arms is: Placebo PROSTVAC + Placebo Granulocyte 
Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) for Arm P, PROSTVAC + Placebo GM-CSF 
for Arm V, and PROSTVAC + GM-CSF for Arm VG.   
2.1. Primary Objective 
The primary efficacy objective is to ascertain whether there is evidence for either Arm V or Arm 
VG to have superior survival outcome relative to Arm P. 
2.2. Secondary Objective 
To ascertain whether a greater proportion of subjects randomized to Arm VG or to Arm V 
remain event free at six months (or early termination) as compared to the subjects randomized to 
Arm P. 
2.3. Exploratory Objectives 
The Exploratory Objectives are:

•
To evaluate whether HLA-A2 positive subjects have a larger survival effect size as
compared to HLA-A2 negative subjects.
•
To model the radiological disease status over the first year of study participation.
•
To assess the role of post-treatment anti-cancer therapies as an alternative explanations
for observed survival differences.
•
To compare the arms with respect to immune responses to immunizing antigen (PSA), as
well as to non-vaccine containing prostate antigens, and tumor-associated antigens, and
to assess whether immune responses are prognostic.
•
To compare the arms with respect to circulating tumor cell (CTC) levels.
•
To model the role of arm, potential baseline prognostic factors, including baseline subject
attributes and circulating tumor cells, immune responses, and the use of post-progression
anti-cancer therapies as explanatory factors of survival.
•
To model the relationship between tumor regression and growth rates and duration of
survival.
3. Investigational Plan
3.1. Overall Study Design and Plan 
BNIT-PRV-301 is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center, Phase 3 efficacy trial of 
PROSTVAC in men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic, metastatic, castration-
resistant prostate cancer.  The study will consist of three periods: a Screening phase, followed by 
Treatment, and subsequently Long-term Follow-up (LTFU) phases.   
Following the completion of the Treatment phase (after the last dose of PROSTVAC-V/F +GM-
CSF or placebo or early termination of treatment) of the trial, all subjects will automatically enter 
the LTFU phase with study visits occurring every six months. During LTFU subjects will receive 
standard-of-care treatment as determined by the Principal Investigator. The appropriate timing 
and the nature of any subsequent treatment will be at the discretion of the Principal Investigator. 
All treatments for mCRPC subsequent to the Treatment phase of the trial will be documented in 
the electronic case report form (eCRF). This comprehensive data will be collected until study 
closure or death. 
A detailed schedule of assessments can be found in the protocol. 
3.2. Study Endpoints 
3.2.1. Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS).  OS is defined as the time between the date of 
randomization and the date of death due to any cause.  Subjects who do not experience death or 
the competing events of “definite” loss to follow-up or withdrawal of consent will be right 
censored at the date of last contact. 
OS = Date of death/competing event/censoring - date of randomization+ 1.

Revised: June 2015 
3.2.2. Secondary Endpoint 
The secondary efficacy endpoint for the study is the proportion of event-free subjects (AWE) 
(radiographic progression, pain progression, chemotherapy initiation, or death) at six months (or 
early termination) compared to placebo. 
Progression events will be defined as: 
•
Radiographic progression (per central radiology assessment)
o
Two new lesions on bone scan, new metastases on CT scans*, or an increase size
of nodal lesions per RECIST 1.1.
•
Pain progression**
o
Introduction of scheduled opioid narcotics for cancer-related pain control.
Scheduled opioid narcotics are defined as continuous daily use lasting more than
14 days.
•
Initiation of chemotherapy for prostate cancer
•
Death
* For subjects with allergies to contrast agents, MRIs for abdomen and pelvis may be
performed.  Only in cases where MRI is unavailable may a non-contrast CT be
performed.
** The start date for an event of pain progression is defined as day 1 of first opioid regimen 
lasting more than 14 days. 
Radiographic progression will be assessed by bone scan or CT at Screening, Week 13, Week 25 
(EOT), and early termination scans. For secondary endpoint analysis, Screening scans and Week 
13, Week 25 (EOT), and early termination scans will be compared by central radiology review. 
Bone scan and CT data will be archived up to five years past the end of the trial. 
The secondary efficacy endpoint is a binary assessment for AWE at six months. Subjects without 
an event prior to six months will have an evaluation for event at six months. Subjects without 
event who are not evaluated at six months will be assumed to have had an event. Thus, each 
subject will be defined as AWE = 1 if the subject is alive and free of event at six months and 
AWE = 0 otherwise. AWE will have a realization for every subject and therefore is amendable to 
an intent-to-treat analysis. 
The analysis of AWE is less subject to ascertainment anomalies compared to the analysis of 
time-to-progression because the six month assessment brings all subjects to the same level of 
ascertainment. 
3.2.3. Exploratory Endpoint 
The exploratory efficacy endpoint for the study is the proportion of subjects Alive Without Event 
(AWE) (radiographic progression, pain progression, chemotherapy initiation, or death) at the 6 
month LTFU visit compared to placebo.  For all subjects alive at the Week 25 (EOT) visit we 
will assess AWE at the 6 month LTFU visit.  Subjects with pain progression or initiating

Statistical Analysis Plan Amendment 1 
Protocol: BNIT-PRV-301

Revised: June 2015 
chemotherapy for prostate cancer at the Week 25 (EOT) visit will be counted as having an event 
at the 6 month LTFU visit.   
Progression events at the 6 month LTFU visit will be defined as: 
•
Radiographic progression (per central radiology assessment) taking the Week 25 (EOT)
visit scan as baseline
o
Two new lesions on bone scan, new metastases on CT scans*, or an increase size
of nodal lesions per RECIST 1.1.
•
Pain progression**
o
Introduction of scheduled opioid narcotics for cancer-related pain control.
Scheduled opioid narcotics are defined as continuous daily use lasting more than
14 days.
•
Initiation of chemotherapy for prostate cancer
•
Death
* For subjects with allergies to contrast agents, MRIs for abdomen and pelvis may be
performed.  Only in cases where MRI is unavailable may a non-contrast CT be performed.
** The start date for an event of pain progression is defined as day 1 of first opioid regimen 
lasting more than 14 days. 
This will attempt to define effects on secondary progression, and characterize delayed effects of 
investigational vaccine therapy. 
3.3. Study Treatment 
The trial interventions will consist of a single subcutaneous (sc) immunization of PROSTVAC V 
or placebo in Week 1, followed by six PROSTVAC F or placebo immunizations administered in 
Weeks 3, 5, 9, 13, 17, and 21. Each immunization will be accompanied by administration of sc 
GM-CSF or placebo on the day of immunization and for the subsequent three days (sc injection 
within 5 mm of the original PROSTVAC VF or placebo injection site). The Treatment phase of 
this trial lasts for five months and is followed by an End-of-Treatment  (Week 25)/Early 
Termination visit. During the Treatment phase, subjects will continue to be treated with 
vaccination therapy through PSA and/or radiological progression.  
3.4. Dose Adjustment 
See the Dose Reductions section of the protocol. 
4. General Statistical Considerations
Continuous data will be described using descriptive statistics as follows: number of observations 
(n), mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum.  All minimum and maximum 
values will be displayed with the same number of decimal places relative to the raw data, the 
mean and median will be displayed with one additional decimal place, and the standard deviation 
will be displayed with two additional decimal places.   


Bavarian Nordic, Inc. 
Statistical Analysis Plan Amendment 1 
Protocol: BNIT-PRV-301 
Date Issued: 29 June 2015

Revised: June 2015 
Data listings will be displayed by subject identification number.  Summary tables will be 
displayed by treatment arm for all subjects.  For those summary tables in which baseline and 
change from baseline measurements will be presented, if time is not available the last observed 
measurement on or before the date of initial dose of study product will be considered the baseline 
measurement.  If date and time are available the last observed measurement on or before the date 
and time of initial dose of study product will be considered the baseline measurement. 
Study Day 1 is defined as the date of first dose of study product.  For visits (or events) that occur 
on or after the first dose of study product, study day is defined as visit date (event date) – date of 
first dose of study product + 1.  For visits (or events) that occur before the first dose of study 
product, study day is defined as visit date (event date) – date of first dose of study product.  
There is no Study Day 0. 
For listings that include the derivation of “days since last dose,” this is defined as event date – 
date of last dose.  Events that occur on the same day as the last dose of study product will 
therefore be described as occurring zero days from the last dose of study product. 
When categorical data are presented, the percentage will be suppressed when the count is zero in 
order to draw attention to the non-zero counts.  The denominator for all percentages, unless 
otherwise specified, will be the number of subjects in each treatment arm or overall. 
Only nominal/scheduled visit data will be reported in the tables.  All visits, including 
unscheduled visits, will be presented in the listings.  Note that all scheduled visits should occur 
within ± 3 days of the protocol-specified visit schedule. 
4.1. Sample Size 
4.1.1. Arm P Reference Data 
The Arm P reference data for planning this trial is specified as a median survival of 22 months 
based on the placebo arm of Dendreon D9902B. Using exponential assumptions the 
corresponding hazard rate is 0.3781 and the corresponding three-year survival is 32.2%. 
4.1.2. Delay of Vaccine Effect 
There is evidence, both from the PROSTVAC phase 2 study and other prostate cancer trials, as 
well as trials of therapeutic vaccines in other cancers, that there exists the possibility of a delay in 
the effect of the experimental vaccine. Taking into account the possibility of a delay in effect 
precludes using trial size computation methods that assume proportional hazards because the 
proportional hazards assumption is not valid if there is delayed effect. The existence of a delayed 
effect means that early deaths will not differentiate between the arms and therefore the number 
of deaths required for the same power will be greater. Thus, the use of methods that do not take 
into account delay of effect could lead to underestimating the power of the trial. Simulations 
were used for both delayed effect scenarios and scenarios where delayed effect was not assumed. 
Appendix A to this document describes the simulation methodology.

4.1.3. Effect Size for Survival 
The hazard ratio in the specific alternative hypotheses used to compute trial size is 0.68, that is, a 
32% smaller hazard rate in Arm VG or Arm V as compared to Arm P. This hazard ratio is based 
on hazard ratio estimates from the previously completed randomized phase 2 trial with an 
allowance that the phase 2 trial likely provides an over-optimistic estimate of the true hazard 
ratio. The hazard ratio estimate from the phase 2 trial was 0.56 when delayed effect is not taken 
into account, and was approximately 0.5 when delayed effect is taken into account (depending on 
the quantification of the delayed effect – see next paragraph). 
Proportional hazards regression with time-dependent covariate implementation of delayed effect 
was used to obtain estimates of the ultimate hazard ratio following delayed effect in the 
previously completed randomized phase 2 study. It was found that estimates of this ultimate 
hazard ratio were reasonably uniform over a range of delayed effect specifications and that 
having delayed effect in the model resulted in a better fit to the survival data than models without 
delayed effect.  The delayed effect estimate of the hazard ratio is approximately 0.5. The shape 
of the delay of effect used to plan this trial is based on that observed in the phase 2 study, but 
with an allowance that the phase 2 trial likely provides an over-optimistic estimate of the true 
hazard ratio. 
The delay of effect used in the simulations done to plan this trial is based on that observed in the 
randomized phase 2 study. This delay of effect is characterized as follows: the hazard ratio is 
initially unity (no effect) for four months, and over the next four months transitions linearly to 
the hypothesized 0.68. 
4.1.4. Power and Significance Level 
The trial is planned so that a between-arm logrank test for all subjects will have the target power. 
The target power taking into account the possibility of a delay in effect is specified to be 85% or 
greater. The two comparisons will be done with Bonferroni correction to the overall type I error 
probability so that the type I error probability for each will not exceed one-sided 0.0125  
(=0.025/2). 
4.1.5. Number of Subjects and Required Number of Deaths 
The number of subjects per arm is set to be 400 (Approximately 1200 total subjects). The accrual 
rate distribution is 19 months of linear ramp up followed by 11 months of constant rate of 
accrual (2.5 years to accrue approximately 1200 subjects). Note: The accrual distribution 
assumptions have been updated from the assumptions used originally to plan this trial and are 
based on current accrual experience. The table below has been revised to reflect these new 
accrual assumptions and there is no material modification to power, hypothesized hazard ratio, or 
any other important aspect of the trial design. As expected, the revised computations do change 
the projections for time to analysis. The assumptions used in Table 1 match the assumptions 
used in the interim analysis planning computations outlined on pages 23 and 24.  Please see 
Appendix B for more detail around the 19 month linear ramp followed by 11 months constant 
rate of accrual.

Notes: 
•
Simulations are for the comparison of one of the experimental arms to control
arm, that is, 800 subjects, 400 per arm, accrued over two years, with a 19 month
ramp time followed by a constant accrual rate for 11 months (2.5 year total
accrual).
•
10,000 replications for each case.
•
Significance level is one-sided 0.0125. The column “One-sided type I error
probability estimate (%)” from the simulations should be approximately 1.25%.
Target power with delayed effect is 85% or more.
•
The control arm data are generated under the exponential distribution with 22
month median survival.
•
The experimental arm data under the specific alternative and when delayed effect
(if applicable) are generated so that hazard rates are equal for 4 months (hazard
ratio = 1), followed by a linear transition over next 4 months to target hazard ratio
of 0.68, with hazard ratio = 0.68 from 8 months onward.
•
The estimated type I error and power are the percent rejection of the null
hypothesis when the data are simulated under the null or specific alternative
hypotheses, respectively. The estimated type I error probabilities in the table are
sufficiently close to 1.25% considering they are estimated from simulations.
•
The “Critical hazard ratio” is the maximum hazard ratio that resulted in rejection
of the null. This is an estimate of the threshold of significance. At the end of the
trial larger hazard ratios will not result in rejection of the null hypothesis.
Case # 1 simulates a trial without delayed effect and a target power of 90% or greater and 
corresponds to conventional (proportional hazards) trial sizing computations, where the usual 
formula computed a requirement for 340 deaths. Case # 2 is based on the required number of 
deaths computed for Case # 1 (340) but with the data in the simulations generated under the 
specified delayed effect. The power for an analysis at 340 deaths when the specified delayed 
effect is applicable is not sufficient (44.5%). Note that 340 deaths are realized sooner than for 
Case # 2 than Case # 1 because the experimental arm will have a higher early hazard rate in 
Case # 2 than in Case # 1.

Case # 3 represents a solution to the required number of deaths for a target power of 85% or 
more under the delayed effect specified. The number of deaths required is found to be 534, with 
time to realization of 534 deaths projected to be 5.1 years. Case # 4 illustrates the estimated 
power of a trial with 534 deaths at the final analysis but without delayed effect. The high power 
(98.8) is the result of early events being differentiating. 
Thus, these simulations show that a final analysis at 534 deaths provides protection against 
unacceptable loss of power if the projected delayed effect is applicable, and yet assures that the 
type I error probability is protected. The trial’s power will be 85% or greater if the delayed effect 
does not exceed that specified in the simulations. 
4.2. Randomization, Stratification, and Blinding 
Block randomization will be used to randomly assign subjects in a 1:1:1 manner. Randomization 
will be stratified according to the following two factors, PSA (equal and above or below 
50 ng/ml) and LDH (equal and above or below 200 U/L). These two stratification factors will be 
used to create a four-level categorical stratification variable for the following combinations of 
the stratification factors: (PSA < 50 & LDH < 200), (PSA < 50 & LDH ≥ 200), (PSA ≥ 50 & 
LDH < 200), and (PSA ≥ 50 & LDH ≥ 200). This stratification variable will be used to stratify 
analyses as specified subsequently. 
Unblinding will be performed only in the event of a medical emergency in which the Investigator 
determines that knowledge of the subject’s treatment assignment is necessary for effective 
treatment. If unblinding is required, the Investigator must contact the Medical Monitor or 
designee who will record who requested the unblinding, for what purpose, and for which subject, 
and will notify the DMC in a timely manner. 
4.3. Analysis Sets 
Three analysis sets are defined for this trial.  The Intent-to-Treat set (ITT) includes all subjects 
who are randomized.  The full analysis set (FAS) includes all subjects initiating study 
intervention. The Safety analysis set includes all subjects initiating study intervention. The FAS 
and safety analysis set are the same. 
All efficacy analyses will be performed on the ITT set and the FAS.  Subjects will be analyzed 
and summarized based on the arm into which they were randomized.  Efficacy analysis 
performed on the ITT analysis set will be considered to be the primary indicator of efficacy.  
Analysis performed on the FAS will be considered to be supportive. 
All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety set and subjects will be analyzed and 
summarized based on the treatment they actually received. 
4.4. Changes in Planned Analysis 
The analysis as described in the protocol has been expanded to include the analysis of tumor 
regression and growth rates.  Interim analysis has been added.

A summary of demographics and baseline characteristics will be presented by treatment arm and 
overall for the FAS.  The demographic characteristics consist of age, age category, sex, ethnicity, 
race, and prior smallpox vaccination status.  Baseline height and weight will also be presented 
using descriptive statistics. 
For subjects who provide date of birth, age will be calculated as the integer part of (Date of 
Informed Consent – Date of Birth + 1)/365.25.  Age will also be categorized using the categories 
18-<25, 25-<45, 45-<65, and 65 or over, and will be presented using frequencies and 
percentages.  The number and percentage of subjects’ ethnicity (Hispanic or Latino, Not 
Hispanic or Latino, or Not Reported) as well as reported race categories will also be reported.  
Reported race categories include White, Black, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native 
Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and Multiracial.   
All demographic and baseline characteristic data will be listed for each subject. 
6.2. Medical History 
6.2.1. General Medical History 
Medical history will be presented as a data listing. 
6.2.2. Prostate Cancer History 
Prostate cancer history and curative intent treatment for prostate cancer will be summarized by 
treatment arm and overall for the FAS. 
Years since initial diagnosis, Gleason sum at initial diagnosis and days since recurrence after 
curative intent treatment will be summarized using descriptive statistics.  TNM status at initial 
diagnosis will be summarized using frequency counts and percentages.

Days since recurrence after curative intent treatment is defined as date of first dose – date of first 
increased PSA value since curative intent treatment + 1.   
Incomplete dates will be imputed as follows: 
•
If day is missing, then the day will be set to the 15th of the month.
•
If month and day are missing, then the month and day will be set to July 1st.
Curative intent treatment dates for select treatments are captured for all subjects.  The number of 
subjects receiving these treatments will be summarized using frequency counts and percentages.  
“Other” curative intent treatment will be collected and the number of subjects receiving these 
treatments will be summarized by treatment class and generic trade name, or by treatment class 
and drug name if generic trade name is missing, using frequency counts and percentages. 
PSA values for the 6 months prior to dosing for each subject will be presented in the data 
listings. 
6.3. Eligibility 
Eligibility deviations consist of any violations of the inclusion and exclusion criteria as detailed 
in the protocol.  Eligibility deviations and other protocol deviations captured in the CTMS will 
be presented in separate listings. 
7. Treatments and Medications
7.1. Prior and Concomitant Medications and Non-Drug Therapies 
All medications recorded on the eCRF will be coded using the World Health Organization 
(WHO) Drug Dictionary.  Prior and concomitant medications will be summarized for the FAS by

term (PT).  Subjects may have more than one medication per drug class and preferred term.   
At each level of summarization, a subject is counted once if he/she reported one or more 
medications at that level. 
Prior medications are defined as medications with a stop date occurring before the date of first 
dose.  Concomitant medications are defined as medications with start dates occurring on or after 
date of first dose and before the date of last dose + 28 days.  Any medication with start and stop 
dates that bracket the date of first dose will be summarized as both prior and concomitant 
medications.  Medications with start dates occurring more than 28 days after the date of last dose 
will be defined as Follow-up medications. 
For the purpose of inclusion in prior and/or concomitant medication tables, incomplete 
medication start and stop dates will be imputed as detailed in Appendix C of this document. 
Based on imputed start and stop dates, medications that clearly stopped before date of first dose

date of first dose and before the date of last dose + 28 days will be included in the concomitant 
medications table. All other medications will be included in both the prior and concomitant 
medications tables. 
Prior and concomitant medications will be presented in a listing.  Follow-up medications will be 
presented in a separate listing. 
7.2. Study Product Exposure 
Study product exposure will be summarized by treatment arm and overall for the FAS. 
Number of PROSTVAC or placebo PROSTVAC injections administered, number of GM-CSF or 
placebo GM-CSF injections administered and duration of treatment in days will be summarized 
using standard descriptive statistics.  The number of subjects receiving each scheduled dose will 
also be summarized using frequency counts and percentages. 
Duration of treatment will be calculated as date of last dose – date of first dose + 1. 
Dosing details will be presented in listings for all subjects 
7.3. Post-Vaccination Prostate Cancer Therapy 
Post-vaccination prostate cancer therapy will be collected and the number of subjects receiving 
therapy will be summarized by treatment class and generic trade name, or by treatment class and 
drug name if generic trade name is missing, using frequency counts and percentages. 
8. Efficacy Analysis
8.1. Analytic Standards 
8.1.1. Data Cutoff Date 
Associated with each analysis is a data cutoff date. The key analyses will use the data cutoff date 
to censor event dates, and this may result in an event date turning into a censored date. 
Additional sensitivity analyses without data cutoff censoring will also be done when there has 
been data cutoff censoring, especially when data cutoff censoring results in loss of events. 
8.1.2. One-sided P Values 
Statistical programs most often report 2-sided P values, but the criterion for the key analyses 
described herein are based on 1-sided P values associated with 1-sided null hypotheses. The 
computation of a 1-sided P value requires that the effect size estimate be available and that the 
favorable direction be known, that is, the direction indicated in the associated alternative 
hypothesis.

Statistical Analysis Plan Amendment 1 
Protocol: BNIT-PRV-301 
Date Issued: 29 June 2015

12 
Revised: June 2015 
Assume that P2 is the 2-sided P value reported from a statistical program.   The one-sided P 
value, P1, is to be computed as follows: If the effect estimate is consistent with favorable 
outcome then P1 = P2/2, otherwise P1 = 1 – P2/2. 
8.1.3. Assessing Clinical Site Homogeneity 
It is important to assess clinical site homogeneity with respect to the primary and secondary 
outcomes. Following is the method that will be used to obtain a descriptive assessment of clinical 
site homogeneity. 
Assume each clinical site is identified by a unique code. It is often the case that one or more 
clinical sites will fail to have at least one subject assigned to each arm. All such clinical sites are 
to be pooled into a new pseudo clinical site with a new unique code. This new pseudo clinical 
site is to be used in the following analyses.  A forest graph with sites or a grouping of sites will 
be created where the effect estimate will be displayed along with the 95% confidence interval.  
This graph is most effectively displayed if the estimates are sorted by estimate size. 
8.2. Primary Analyses (Survival) 
The survival outcome from subjects in each experimental arm, Arm V and Arm VG, will be 
compared separately to the survival outcome from subjects in the control arm, Arm P.  If either 
of these comparisons passes the statistical criterion specified previously, then the trial will be 
regarded as having met the statistical criterion for success. This section defines the statistical 
method and criterion for each of these survival analyses. 
The survival analysis objective is to ascertain whether the survival time distribution for subjects 
randomized to the experimental arm is consistent with longer survival as compared to subjects 
randomized to the control arm. All randomized subjects will be included in the primary survival 
analysis according to the randomized arm (intent-to-treat). 
8.2.1. Imputation of Missing Efficacy Data 
In general, there will be no imputation of missing data in efficacy analyses other than the 
primary endpoint (overall survival). 
Imputation of the primary endpoint may depend on the date of the first occurrence of an event 
associated with the endpoint. When the event has yet to occur the analysis will nonetheless 
require an analytical date be available for the analysis. These are known as censored or truncated 
dates. A censored date is the date of the most recent assessment for the event for a subject for 
which the event of interest has yet to occur and for which additional time may lead to 
observation of the event of interest. A truncated date is the date of a competing event that 
precludes the observation of the event of interest. The distinction between designating an 
analytical date as censored or truncated will depend on the purpose of the analysis and will be 
designated for each analysis. For example, if death is the event of interest and a subject is still 
alive and being followed for the date of death then the date last known alive is a censored date, 
whereas the date a subject withdraws consent for continued follow-up of vital status (a 
competing event) is a truncated date. The nature of the competing event will dictate whether the

Statistical Analysis Plan Amendment 1 
Protocol: BNIT-PRV-301

13 
Revised: June 2015 
competing event is permanent. For example, the date of death for a subject who has withdrawn 
consent may later become known passively from governmental death records. 
Dates associated with the primary endpoint with missing day of the month will be completed by 
imputing the missing day of the month as the 15th day of that month, provided another date to be 
used in the computation of an interval is not in the same month. If the day of the month is 
missing and the other date is in the same month, then the missing day of the month will be taken 
as half the distance to the beginning or end of the month (depending on expected sequence). If 
both dates to be used in the computation of an interval are missing day of the month then an 
interval of 15 days (plus or minus) will be used. 
Dates associated with the primary endpoint with both month and day of month missing will be 
imputed as July 1 of the known year provided another date in the same year is to be used in the 
computation of an interval. If both the month and day of the month are missing and another date 
in the same year is to be used in the computation of an interval, then the missing date 
components will be taken as the half the distance from the other date until the beginning or end 
of the year (depending on expected sequence). If both dates to be used in the computation of an 
interval are missing both month and day of the month then an interval of 180 days (plus or 
minus) will be used. 
8.2.2. Survival Analysis Method 
Imputation of missing date parts will follow the rules previously specified. Competing events for 
death are “definite” lost to follow-up and withdrawal of consent for continued vital status 
assessments. Both of these competing events are subject to revision for an individual subject 
with the passage of time. 
The primary analyses will be performed on the ITT set and will analyze subjects according to the 
randomized arm. The primary analysis will be repeated on the FAS as a sensitivity analysis. 
The primary test of each endpoint will consist of a stratified logrank test for the test of the null 
hypothesis (STRATA <stratification-variable> / TEST=LOGRANK;). See Section 4.2 for the 
definition of the stratification variable. The significance of the logrank test will be assessed by 
referring the one-sided stratified logrank test P1 to 0.0125, and the comparison will be said to 
meet statistical criterion if P1 < 0.0125.  
Notes: 
•
These analyses must be stratified: Anderson et al. 2006.
•
When there are competing events then censoring competing events provides a between-
arm test of the event of interest: Prentice et al. 1978.
The hazard ratio for each comparison will be estimated using stratified (STRATA <stratification-
variable>;) proportional hazard regression with the specification of ties handled by the exact 
method (TIES=EXACT option on MODEL statement). Two-sided 95% confidence interval will 
be reported in order to maintain consistency with the reporting of estimates from other prostate 
cancer studies.

8.2.3. Survival Graphs 
The survival data will be plotted as either Kaplan-Meier or cumulative incidence distribution 
estimates depending on the amount of competing events. The cumulative incidence estimates and 
not the Kaplan-Meier estimates will be plotted if the percent of subjects with competing events 
in either arm exceeds 3%. When there are competing events then the Kaplan-Meier estimate is 
not an estimate of the probability free of event: Gooley et al, 1999. 
8.2.4. Other Analyses of Survival 
The following other analyses, supporting, sensitivity, or exploratory, will be performed: 
•
Deaths that occur after the cutoff will not be censored.
•
Clinical site homogeneity will be assessed by including in the model site grouping multi-
level main effect terms and also interaction terms for arm by categorical site grouping.
•
The analysis will be re-run with arm by stratum interaction added to the model statement
in order to assess arm by stratum interaction. If the 2-sided P value for this multiple
degree-of-freedom test of homogeneity is significant at two-sided 0.10, then the stratum-
specific hazard ratio estimates and confidence intervals will be computed. If the statistical
criterion is not met then the test of homogeneity will be regarded as an exploratory
analysis of the data collected. Thus, the outcome of the strata homogeneity test will not
affect the interpretation of significance for the primary test, but will affect the way the
results are presented or subsequently analyzed.
•
Effect modifier analyses will be performed for putatively prognostic factors, including
those explored previously in the literature as well as those hypothesized to be predictive
in the context of this study. Effect modification will be assessed one factor at a time in
stratified models. Each factor will be analyzed as either a natural dichotomy, a
dichotomized ordered categorical with cutpoint chosen based on biologic considerations,
or a continuous variable dichotomized at the overall median. A separate effect size
estimate for arm and its 95% confidence interval will be computed for each level of the
dichotomy using contrast statements in SAS.
•
The four Kaplan-Meier estimates (arm by factor) for each of the factors analyzed as
effect modifiers will be plotted on one graph.
•
Regression models with multiple added prognostic covariates will be estimated. The
covariates to be added will include those explored previously in the literature as well as
those hypothesized to be predictive in the context of this study. Interactions will also be
explored for contribution to the model.
•
Subjects randomized and not initiating study intervention will be added to the FAS and
the primary analyses repeated.
•
An analysis of the relationship between dose intensity and outcome by arm will be
performed.  The main method will be a time-dependent covariate that increases by one
for each injection.  The interaction between arm and this time-dependent covariate will be
the focus of this analysis.

8.3. Secondary Endpoint (Alive Without Event [AWE] at Six Months) 
The testing of AWE will have meaning in the context of type I error probability control only if 
the corresponding primary survival comparison meets its formal statistical criterion. The formal 
significance levels used for survival analysis will be used for AWE. 
AWE has less statistical sensitivity than an analysis based on the closely related and traditional 
time-to-progression because the timing of events is ignored. Thus, AWE is inherently 
conservative. This trade-off is acceptable because the trial size provides adequate sensitivity for 
meaningful differences in the AWE proportions for each comparison. The approximate statistical 
sensitivity of AWE can be illustrated by assuming a simple comparison of proportions between 
the arms being compared. Assume a significance level of one-sided 0.0125 and that the control 
arm proportion is 0.5. Each comparison is based on 800 subjects, 400 per arm. The probability is 
90% or greater that this statistical test will be significant if the true proportion difference is 0.126 
or greater and the critical difference is 0.080. 
The 95% confidence interval on the odds ratio estimate will be computed as the measure of the 
magnitude of effect. 
All analyses of AWE will be conducted on the ITT set and repeated for the FAS as a sensitivity 
analysis. 
8.3.1. AWE Analysis Method 
The AWE endpoint will be analyzed using stratified logistic regression.   The estimated odds 
ratio will be greater than unity if the experimental arm has a more favorable outcome. 
Using the estimated odds ratio and a reference specification for the proportion of subjects with 
AWE in the control arm the expected proportion of subjects with AWE for the investigational 
arm can be projected, and thus the projected between-arm difference in proportions computed. 
If the statistical criterion is met then a test for homogeneity of the odds ratio across strata will be 
performed by adding arm by stratum interaction to the above model. If the P value for this 
multiple degree-of-freedom test of homogeneity is significant at two-sided 0.10, then the 
stratum-specific odds ratios and confidence intervals will be computed using the ESTIMATE 
feature of PROC LOGISTIC. If the statistical criterion is not met then the test of homogeneity 
will be regarded as an exploratory analysis of the data collected. Thus, the outcome of the 
homogeneity test will not affect the interpretation of significance for the primary test, but will 
affect the way the results are presented or subsequently analyzed. 
8.3.2. Other Analyses of AWE 
The following other analyses, supporting, sensitivity, or exploratory, will be performed: 
•
Clinical site homogeneity will be assessed by including in the model site grouping multi-
level main effect terms and also interaction terms for arm by categorical site grouping.
•
The analysis will be re-run with arm by stratum interaction added to the model statement
in order to assess arm by stratum interaction. If the 2-sided P value for this multiple

degree-of-freedom test of homogeneity is significant at two-sided 0.10, then the stratum-
specific hazard ratio estimates and confidence intervals will be computed. If the statistical 
criterion is not met then the test of homogeneity will be regarded as an exploratory 
analysis of the data collected. Thus, the outcome of the strata homogeneity test will not 
affect the interpretation of significance for the primary test, but will affect the way the 
results are presented or subsequently analyzed. 
•
Effect modifier analyses will be performed for putatively prognostic factors, including
those explored previously in the literature as well as those hypothesized to be predictive
in the context of this study. Effect modification will be assessed one factor at a time in
stratified models. Each factor will be analyzed as either a natural dichotomy, a
dichotomized ordered categorical with cutpoint chosen based on biologic considerations,
or a continuous variable dichotomized at the overall median. A separate effect size
estimate for arm and its 95% confidence interval will be computed for each level of the
dichotomy using contrast statements in SAS.
•
Regression models with multiple added prognostic covariates will be estimated. The
covariates to be added will include those explored previously in the literature as well as
those hypothesized to be predictive in the context of this study. Interactions will also be
explored for contribution to the model.
•
Subjects who had not been previously observed to have an event and who miss their six
month disease assessments are recoded as AWE = 1 (instead of AWE = 0) for both arms,
and then for each arm separately.
•
Subjects who had not been observed previously to have an event and who have
assessment(s) that are not in the window for the six month assessment are coded
according to the closest assessment, for both arms, and then for each arm separately.
•
The analysis of progression will be subjected to a tipping point analysis as described in
Yan et al. 2009.
8.4. Exploratory Endpoint (Alive Without Event [AWE] at the Six-Month LTFU Visit) 
The AWE at the 6 month LTFU visit endpoint will be analyzed using stratified logistic 
regression.   The estimated odds ratio will be greater than unity if the experimental arm has a 
more favorable outcome. 
The 95% confidence interval on the odds ratio estimate will be computed as the measure of the 
magnitude of effect. 
All analyses of AWE at the 6 month LTFU visit will be conducted on the ITT set, excluding 
subjects not alive at the Week 25 (EOT) visit. 
8.5. Tertiary Objectives 
The tertiary objectives are exploratory and will be analyzed using statistical modeling. These 
exploratory analyses will not be conditional on meeting a primary objective.

8.5.1. HLA-A2 Status 
Positive HLA-A2 status is defined by a positive serological response to a HLA-A2-specific 
antibody.  The previously completed phase 2 found that HLA-A2 positive subjects had a larger 
effect size than did HLA-A2 negative subjects. This finding will be confirmed in this study 
through an effect modification analysis in the primary model (including stratification). The 
primary proportional hazard regression model will be re-analyzed with the addition of HLA-A2 
status (positive vs. negative) and HLA-A2 status by treatment interaction terms.  The criterion 
for significant effect modification will be a P value of 0.1 or less for the coefficient of the HLA-
A2 status by treatment interaction term. If there is significant effect modification then the hazard 
ratios specific to negative and positive HLA-A2 status will be estimated along with additional 
supporting analyses such as Kaplan-Meier estimate graphs. 
8.5.2. Absence of Progression at 12 Months 
To model the likelihood of remaining radiologically event-free at 12 months as compared to 
scans at 6 months is of interest. Subjects may become secondarily stable, allowing for time for 
the vaccine to induce an immune response, and then establish a new baseline at 6 months.  The 
between-arm comparison of this outcome is not a comparison free of the confounding of post-
randomization events that have the potential of being arm-dependent. Regression modeling of 
being free of progression, which is AWE at 12 months, with covariates for baseline prognostic 
factors and AWE at 6 months, will be conducted. 
8.5.3. Post-Progression Anti-Cancer Therapies 
Because the primary endpoint is survival and subjects can have access to other anticancer 
therapies following progression there is the possibility that post-progression anticancer therapies 
(PPACTs) could provide an alternative explanation for any observed survival differences. 
Analyses for assessing the possibility of PPACT effects are necessarily open-ended because the 
challenge is to find an alternative explanation for an observed outcome from a pre-planned 
analysis. Thus, such analyses are necessarily data-directed because they are challenge analyses, 
leaving the assessment of meaning in the context of being data-directed and the multiplicity of 
analyses to be assessed through consideration of clinical and biological considerations. 
The following classes of analyses are anticipated at this time: 
•
Compare the Kaplan-Meier estimates from each arm to the Kaplan-Meier estimate where
subjects are censored at the time of initiation of a PPACT.
•
Model the use of PPACTs as time-dependent covariates added to the primary survival
models (FAS, arms as randomized). In addition, baseline covariates of prognostic
importance will be added to these models in order to attempt adjustment for prognosis
factors in the selection of subjects getting PPACTs (confounding between subject
attributes and selection for PPACTs).

8.5.4. Immune Responses 
PROSTVAC has been found to induce various immune responses. The arms will be compared 
with respect to previously identified immune responses and other immune responses that may 
not have been previously identified. The prognostic value of immune responses will be assessed. 
8.5.5. Circulating Tumor Cells 
Technology for assessing for CTCs has become more available and reliable, however limited 
information exists on CTC counts in the target population. Modeling will be used to assess the 
prognostic value of baseline CTC measures and other prognostic measures on outcome. 
8.5.6. Tumor Regression and Growth Rate 
Tumor regression and growth rates will be derived for each subject with sufficient PSA data per 
the method described in Stein, et al, 2010.  Linear regressions to evaluate the relationship 
between the growth rate constant, g, or other parameters and survival will be performed.  
Regression rate constants, d, and growth rate constants, g, will be presented in the data listings 
for each subject. 
8.5.7. Overall Prognostic Model 
Additional data-driven analyses may be performed at the discretion of the sponsor.  The tertiary 
objectives above focus on specific classes of factors that are potential explanatory of survival. 
There will be an attempt to model all of these factors, including arm, potential baseline 
prognostic factors collected at screening, including baseline subject attributes and circulating 
tumor cells, immune responses, the use of post-progression anti-cancer therapies, and tumor 
regression and growth rates for their relationship to survival. 
9. Safety Analysis
All safety analyses will be conducted on the FAS.  All summaries in the safety analysis will be 
presented by treatment arm and overall. 
9.1. Adverse Events 
Adverse event terms recorded on the eCRFs will be coded to PTs using version 11.0 or later of 
the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).  Toxicity grade will be defined 
according to the version 4.0 or later of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).  
A treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as any AE with an onset date on or after 
date of first dose of study product, or any ongoing event on the date of first dose that increases in 
CTCAE grade after date of first dose.  Only TEAEs with an onset date before date of last dose + 
28 days will be tabulated in summary tables.  Adverse events that begin prior to first dose will be 
captured in the medical history.

Furthermore each TEAE will be classified based on the period in which it started.  Primary 
period TEAEs will be defined as TEAEs with onset date on or after the date of the first dose of 
study product and before the date of the second dose of study product.  Booster period TEAEs 
will be defined as TEAEs with onset date on or after the date of the second dose of study 
product.    
For the purpose of calculating treatment emergence, period, and inclusion in summary tables, 
incomplete onset dates will be imputed as detailed in Appendix C of this document. 
9.1.1. Incidence of Adverse Events 
The frequency and percentage of subjects with TEAEs will be tabulated for overall incidence by 
system organ class (SOC) and PT for primary period TEAEs, booster period TEAEs and overall.  
TEAEs will also be summarized by treatment arm and overall for the highest CTCAE grade and 
highest relationship to study treatment within each subject.  Related TEAEs, serious TEAEs, 
related serious TEAEs, and TEAEs resulting in study product discontinuation will be similarly 
summarized.  Additionally, the incidence of TEAEs and related TEAEs will be summarized by 
PT in descending order of total frequency.  The incidence of TEAEs coded as injection site 
reactions will be summarized by type of injection (primary or booster) and by arm. 
At each level of summarization, a subject will be counted only once for each AE he/she 
experiences within that level. 
Data listings of all AEs and SAEs will be provided.  Adverse events presented in the listings will 
be those recorded from the first dose date through the end of follow-up. 
9.1.2. Survival Status and Death 
Subject survival status will be summarized in a table using the FAS.  Furthermore, all subject 
deaths during this study will be presented in a listing.  The listing will provide all relevant eCRF 
data pertaining to each subject death. 
9.2. Clinical Laboratory Evaluations 
The following laboratory parameters will be summarized: 
•
Serum Chemistry - alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP),
aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), calcium,
chloride, creatinine, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), potassium, sodium,
testosterone, and total bilirubin.

change from baseline to each scheduled post-baseline visit, last visit with available assessment, 
and minimum and maximum post-baseline assessments will be presented for each test.  Shift 
from baseline tables by CTCAE v4.0 (or higher) grades (where applicable) and by high/low flags 
(where CTCAE grades are not defined) will be presented to show the number and percentage of 
subjects in each cell.  All scheduled post-baseline visits, last visit with available assessment, and 
worst shift overall will be included in shift tables.  Laboratory tests (calcium, glucose and 
sodium) that have both high and low abnormalities will be summarized separately by CTCAE 
v4.0 (or higher) grades for each direction of abnormality (e.g. hypercalcemia vs. hypocalcemia). 
The mean and standard deviation over time of selected analytes will be presented in a figure for 
the FAS. 
All collected laboratory test results will be presented in the data listings. 
9.3. Cardiac Markers 
Cardiac markers, including CK, CK-MB, troponin-t, and troponin-i, will be collected at 
screening and presented in the data listings. 
9.4. Vital Sign Measurements 
Vital sign measurements data will be summarized for the FAS.  Sitting systolic and diastolic 
blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate, pulse rate, and weight will be summarized for 
actual result, change from baseline to each scheduled post-baseline visit, last visit with available 
assessment, minimum and maximum post-baseline assessments.  Vital sign measurements data 
will also be presented in a listing.  The mean and standard deviation over time for blood pressure 
will be plotted in a figure.

11. Radiology
Radiological assessments will be performed at Screening, Week 13, Week 25 EOT, and at the 
6-month long term follow-up visit.
Radiology data will be presented in the data listings.  
12. Interim Analysis
This section describes the interim analysis plan (IAP) to be executed by the independent 
statistician and assessed by the DMC. The specific IAP results are closed to the sponsor unless 
one of the criteria are met, and even then the DMC will use its discretion regarding the 
communications of results to the sponsor, with patient safety balanced against benefit being the 
primary concern. This IAP consists of the ability to detect early evidence of efficacy and also 
futility. 
The statistical computations used to devise this IAP take into account the possibility of a delayed 
effect of the same magnitude as used to plan the trial size but the statistical tests will ignore the 
possibility of delayed effect because there cannot be certainty that a delayed effect exists. Stated 
another way, the statistical tests to be done as specified in the IAP are optimal in cases where the 
hazard ratio is proportional; the alternative is intractable because it would be to use parametric 
statistics in a situation where the underlying form of the failure-time distribution is not known. 
Thus, if the possibility of a delayed effect were not taken into account and it actually exists then 
the IAP would have lower power to detect early efficacy than anticipated because early events 
would not be discriminatory for efficacy, and a conclusion of futility would have increased 
power because early events would be give a false signal about lack of efficacy. By contrast, if the 
possibility of delayed effect were taken into account when a delayed effect does not exist then 
the IAP will have greater power than anticipated to detect early efficacy whereas futility would 
have diminished power than anticipated. 
The IAP is designed so that interim analyses for a comparison are to be executed at 40%, 60%, 
and 80% information times, corresponding to 214, 321, and 427 deaths, with the final analysis at 
534 deaths as previously discussed. 
The one-sided significance criteria to be used for early detection of efficacy analyses are

The early detection of efficacy is to use the same statistical testing methodology as specified for 
the primary analysis. The statistical characteristics for the interim analysis event-driven time-
points and significance levels are computed using simulations. The simulation methodology for 
delayed effect is described in Appendix A. The following table shows the statistical operating 
characteristics of this plan based on 10,000 simulation replicates. For example, when the 
alternative hypothesis is true (average hazard ratio = 0.68) then at the second interim analysis is 
projected for 3.2 years following the start of randomization and the estimated cumulative 
probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is 0.1571 (with confidence interval as shown). Also 
shown is the largest hazard ratio found for which the null hypothesis was rejected (rej HR), 
showing that at this interim analysis a hazard ratio less than or equal to 0.716 will pass the 
criterion for early efficacy (an estimate of the critical hazard ratio). Please note that these 
simulations are consistent with the targeted overall one-sided type I error of 0.0125: for analysis 
4 (“#” column) the proportion of trials rejected (“rejected” column) under the null hypothesis 
(row with “null” in the “hyp” column) is 0.0127, and is close enough to 0.0125 considering 
computations were done using simulation.

The significance level to be used for detection of futility at each interim analysis is 0.00001. This 
futility significance level was chosen in order to provide a balance between the sought for 
estimated probability of detecting futility and protecting against falsely declaring futility. A 
preceding table also shows the statistical operating characteristics of futility detection. For 
example, when the null hypothesis is true (hazard ratio = 1) then at the second interim analysis is 
projected for 3.0 years following the start of randomization and the estimated cumulative 
probability of rejecting the futility null hypothesis is 0.2297 (with confidence interval as shown). 
Also shown is the smallest hazard ratio found for which the futility null hypothesis was rejected 
(rej HR), showing that at this interim analysis a hazard ratio greater than or equal to 1.090 will 
pass the criterion for futility (an estimate of the futility critical hazard ratio). 
The futility null hypothesis is H0: ∆ ≤ 0.68 and the futility alternative hypothesis is HA: ∆ > 0.68, 
where ∆ is the hazard ratio. The testing of the futility null hypothesis using SAS is computed as 
follows. The futility null hypothesis can be rewritten using the natural logarithm as 
H0: ln(∆) ≤ ϕ, or H0: βarm ≤ ϕ), or H0: βarm - ϕ ≤ 0. 
where ϕ = ln(0.68) and βarm is the logarithm of the hazard ratio associated with the experimental 
arm. The futility null hypothesis is tested using SAS PHREG using the OFFSET option.

The possibility of there being no delay of effect can be assessed through simulation where the 
delay of effect is eliminated. The following table shows the statistical operating characteristics of 
the IAP when no delay of effect is applicable. When there is no delay of effect there is 
considerably more power to detect early efficacy (a similar outcome was observed for the trial

There are IAP issues that require special consideration because of the nature of this study: 
The events needed for each of the two comparisons may not occur at the same time. The IAP for 
an interim analysis and the final analysis is to be implemented only when the required numbers 
of events have been reached for both comparisons. 
More than the required number of events may be applicable at the time of an interim or final 
analysis. The definitive analysis will be based on backing up the data until the time point at 
which the required number of deaths is first applicable. An analysis using all data available will 
also be executed as a supplemental analysis.

The DMC will be required to use its discretion regarding the action to be taken in case one 
comparison meets criterion at an interim analysis whereas the other comparison does not. The 
issue is whether an action for the comparison meeting criterion would adversely affect the ability 
to obtain a definitive answer to the comparison not meeting criterion.

14. Appendix A:
Delayed Effect Simulation Methodology 
The trial size and interim analyses were planned using clinical trials simulation software 
developed by Brent A. Blumenstein, PhD, the statistical consultant providing the statistical 
design of this study. This software is quite general and has been under development since the 
1980s.  Validation has included comparison of results from other software used for trial 
planning, including SAS and East. The software used provides results that are “close enough” for 
the cases that can be compared and considering that simulation results are being compared to 
formulaic methods. 
The reason this software is used instead of other more commonly available methods is because 
this software has the ability to simulate trials with a specific type of departure from proportional 
hazards, specifically the case where the target hazard ratio is not initially applicable but becomes 
applicable  later in time. Neither SAS nor East has this capability, for example, and base their 
computations on assuming proportional hazards. This appendix subsequently discusses the 
details of the methodology implemented in the clinical trials simulation software used by BNIT. 
The type of departure from proportional hazards can be generically identified as a later 
separation of Kaplan-Meier estimates, and there is conjecture that immunotherapies are subject 
to delayed effect consistent with what is seen when Kaplan-Meier estimates have delayed 
separation.  
The observation of delayed separation of the BNIT phase 2 trial survival Kaplan-Meier estimates 
was the reason the phase 3 trial was planned with delayed effect and therefore the simulation 
software implementing this type of departure from proportional hazards was used. If the delayed 
effect conjecture was not used to plan the BNIT phase 3 trial then the trial could be seriously 
underpowered and the interim analysis plan could lead to meeting futility criterion earlier than 
valid. The clinical trials simulation software criteria generated for early detection of superiority 
also prevents inappropriate triggering of superiority stopping rules. 
There is limited ability to validate the results from this software because the methodology for 
implementing delayed effect is relatively new. Delayed effect validation has been implemented 
in a variety of ways, including assessing whether the gradual implementation of delayed 
separation gives results consistent with expectations and comparison to some other 
implementations of delayed separation.  For example, ECOG used a sum of exponentials 
survival distribution and numerical integration to plan some leukemia trials where delayed 
separation of Kaplan-Meier estimates was apparent. The R code implementing this numerical 
integration trial planning methodology was provided and the clinical trials simulation software 
results implementing the intended delay were compared and the results were favorable within the 
limits of the fundamental differences in methods. The results from the clinical trial simulation 
software have also been compared with the same comparability conclusion to software 
implementing a discrete chain Markov method as described by Shih [Shih JH. Sample size 
calculation for complex clinical trials with survival endpoints. Controlled Clinical Trials 1995; 
16:395-407.].

Following is a description of the simulation methodology used to evaluate the statistical 
operating characteristics of trials where the intervention under study is subject to a delay of 
effect. (The text that follows is based on a methodological manuscript submitted for publication.) 
The reasons for a delayed effect include: (1) Randomization of subjects with advanced disease 
for which experimental intervention is “too late”. (2) The experimental intervention has a 
delayed onset of benefit. One or both of these mechanisms could apply. 
Assume a two-arm randomized clinical trial and that individuals entering this trial are to be 
randomized to one of two groups designated as arms 1 and 2, where arm 1 is to receive control 
intervention (perhaps a placebo) and arm 2 is to receive experimental intervention. Assume that 
the outcome of interest is time to a failure event or time to the last date when this event has yet to 
be observed. Assume it is hypothesized that the experimental intervention induces a distribution 
of event times that is more favorable, that is, shifted to the right, as compared to the distribution 
of event times associated with the control intervention. Assume competing events are either 
nonexistent or negligible. 
Trials of this type are typically planned by computing the required number of events under the 
assumption of proportional hazard rates, specific type I and II error probabilities, and a 
hypothesized clinically consequential ratio of the arm 2 (experimental) hazard rate to the arm 1 
(control) hazard rate. Let hA be the hypothesized consequential hazard ratio. 
Let the hazard ratio function h(t) = λ1(t)/ λ2(t) where λ1(t) and λ2(t) are hazard rate functions for 
arm 1 and 2, respectively. The proportional hazard rates assumption means that h(t) = λ1(t)/ λ2(t) 
= h (a constant). 
After computing the required number of events, projections for the timing of analyses are usually 
made based on assuming exponential distributions for the arms with hazard rates λ1(t) = λ1 and 
λ2(t) = λ2 = hAλ1. Thus, when there is no delayed effect the survival functions for arm 1 and arm 
2 are usually specified to be 
F1(T ≤ t) = exp(-λ1t) 
F2(T ≤ t) = exp(-λ2t) = exp(-hAλ1t). 
The delayed effect simulation methodology described here is based on assuming that the control 
arm survival distribution is exponential. (It is possible to generalize this methodology to other 
types of control arm survival distributions though the use of the exponential distribution is 
usual.) 
Now, assume that the experimental intervention has a lag in realization of effect so that the arm 2 
hazard rate is initially λ1 and only later becomes hAλ1. This delay of effect assumes the arm 2 
hazard rate function is 
λ2(t) = (λ1 - λ2)g(t) + λ2, (t = 0), 
where g(t) is a function with the following properties: g(0) = 1, g(t) is non-increasing, and either 
g(t) = 0 for some t’ where t ≥ t’ > 0 or g(t)  0 as t  ∞. This implementation of delayed effect 
specifies that ultimately the hazard ratio becomes proportional or approaches proportionality.

In order to do simulations under delayed effect the survival function F2(t) must be derived. This 
survival function is obtained using the relationship 
F2(t) = exp(-H2(t)) 
where H2(t) is the integral of λ2(t) from 0 to t (integrated hazard function). Depending on the 
function g(t) the integral H2(t) may have an analytic form; if not then numerical integration can 
be used. 
A segmented linear form of g(t) will now be described. (Other forms of g(t) are possible.) The 
segmented linear form of g(t) has two parameters, d and r, where d ≥ 0 and r > 0. The parameter 
d is the delay in the start of the effect of the experimental intervention and r is the time it takes to 
realize full effect from the start of realization of effect. The function g(t) is specified linear and 
descending between d and d + r.. Specifically, g(t) is defined as follows 
g(t) = 1 for t < d 
g(t) = (d + r – t)/r for d ≤ t < d + r, 
g(t) = 0 for t ≥ d + r. 
It follows that 
H2(t) = (λ1 - λ2)t + λ2t = λ1t for t < d 
H2(t) = (λ1 - λ2){d + [(d + r)(t – d) –(t2 – d2)/2]/r} + λ2t for d ≤ t < d + r, 
H2(t) = (λ1 - λ2)(d + r/2) + λ2t for t ≥ d + r. 
Pseudo random survival times from F2 can be generated by tabling its inverse and using a 
uniform pseudo random generator. 
Thus, if F1 is exponential (as usual) and F2 is defined as above then pseudo random samples of 
survival times from F1 and F2 can be generated for specified values of  λ1, λ2, d and r. These 
survival times can be converted to clinical trial data based on specification of accrual distribution 
and follow-up intervals. 
The consequence of delayed effect is a reduction in projected statistical power relative to no 
delayed effect. Specifically, events occurring prior to the time of realization of the specified 
effect hA will be less differentiating than events that occur after full realization of the specified 
effect hA, and therefore only the events occurring after the time of realization of effect fully 
contribute to statistical power. Thus, if a trial is planned without taking into account delayed 
effect then the projected power of the trial will be overestimated if delayed effect is present in 
the data. 
Statistical operating characteristics for a specific set of trial specifications, including parameters 
specifying a delayed effect, are estimated from replicating the generation trial data for the control 
arm and the experimental arm, that is, from replicates of the simulated trial data. Thus, for 
specified significance criteria the statistical operating characteristics of the test of the null

hypothesis for superiority of the experimental intervention can be estimated using the logrank 
test on the simulated trial replicates. The following statistical operating characteristic estimates 
are most often of interest: 
•
One-sided type 1 error probability: The proportion of replicates for which the test of the
null hypothesis is rejected using the one-sided logrank test and when the experimental
arm data are generated with λ2 = λ1.
•
Power: The proportion of replicates for which the test of the null hypothesis is rejected
using the one-sided logrank test and when the experimental arm data are generated with
λ2 = hAλ1.
These estimates also can be made for interim analyses based on event time or calendar time, and 
the cumulative estimates (trial-wise) are those that take into whether and when specific trial 
replicates meet interim analysis criteria. 
The statistical operating characteristics of futility tests can also be estimated using simulation. A 
common approach to futility testing is based on specifying an additional parameter Ω, usually Ω 
is the hazard ratio specified in the specific superiority alternative hypothesis, and then testing as 
the futility null hypothesis that λ2 = Ωλ1 against the futility alternative hypothesis that λ2 > Ωλ1. 
Evidence against the futility null hypothesis, that is, rejection of the futility null hypothesis, 
provides a basis for concluding that futility exists. The futility null hypothesis can be tested using 
a modification of the logrank test or proportional hazard regression where an offset 
corresponding to Ω is used to set up the futility null hypothesis. 
The futility testing scheme described is applicable only when the proportional hazards 
assumption is tenable, however. Specifically, when delayed effect is applicable then the futility 
null hypothesis survival distributions will not have proportional hazards. The consequence will 
be an increase in the likelihood of falsely concluding futility because of the interaction between 
delayed effect and the offset correction in the statistical test. 
Therefore a different approach must be used for futility testing when delayed effect is applicable. 
The chosen method is to modify the logrank test by using zero weights for event times prior to a 
pre-specified time Teff, a time specified to be after full effect or nearly full effect is applicable. 
Specifically, the two-sample logrank statistic is one of a class of linear rank statistics that can be 
written as 
Σwi(di2 – ni2di/ni) 
where the sum is over each distinct time ti at which one or more events occur, di2 is the number 
of arm 2 events at ti, ni2 is the number at risk at ti, di is the total number of deaths at ti, ni is the 
total number at risk at ti, and wi is a weight. For example, for the logrank test wi = 1 for all i, and 
for the Wilcoxon test wi = ni. The modified logrank statistic therefore has wi = 0 for all ti < Teff, 
and wi = 1 otherwise. The effect is to focus the futility testing to times after the delay of effect so 
that the likelihood of falsely concluding futility is controlled but with a reduction in sensitivity 
for futility.

The operating characteristics of the futility testing can be assessed by generating experimental 
arm data replicates using F1 and F2 (given previously). The logrank test with the offset Ω and 
modifications of weights using Teff as specified can then be used to obtain the following 
estimates statistical operating characteristics for futility testing: 
•
False futility probability (futility test type I error probability): The proportion of
replicates for which the test of the futility null hypothesis is rejected for a specified level
of significance. The futility testing will be valid if this proportion is close to the
significance level used in the testing of the futility null hypothesis.
•
Probability of futility conclusion conditional on specifications of truth: The proportion of
replicates for which the test of the futility null hypothesis is rejected. Various values of
truth (hA in the specification of F2) can be used to assess the likelihood of concluding
futility over a range of versions of truth.
A close equivalent to the logrank test described above for futility testing (with an offset and 
weighting adjusted to Teff) can be implemented as a proportional hazard regression model with a 
time-dependent covariate for arm. This model has the arm variable as zero prior to time Teff and 
zero or one for times equal or greater than Teff for the control arm and experimental arms, 
respectively.
