Why are there so many trials, with no results. What is wrong with these people? Too busy?

Interesting, but the following exclusion criteria would seem to exclude most of us:

"Prior systemic therapies for prostate cancer not allowed (hormonal therapy, including but not limited to LHRH agonists, antiandrogens, ketoconazole or chemotherapy - mitoxantrone/taxanes/estramustine, etc.) except when patients stopped hormone therapy two or more years prior to enrollment and currently have normal testosterone levels; patients in Arm B, undergoing androgen depletion therapy during the vaccination will be eligible."

What are "normal testosterone levels"? As an old guy mine is very low even after stopping ADT.
