    Abstract

    There is no effective therapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer and a novel therapeutic modality, such as a gene therapy, should be actively pursued. Previously, Gardner and Chung conducted a phase I clinical trial of Ad-OC-TK (recombinant adenoviral vector containing osteocalcin promoter-driven herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene) plus VAL (valacyclovir) for the treatment of hormone-refractory prostate cancer at the University of Virginia. We report on our ongoing phase I/II clinical trial of Ad-OC-TK plus VAL for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer at the Kobe University Hospital, Japan.
