Inclusion Criteria:

Key Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be included:

1. Male aged between 50 and 80 years (inclusive) with histologically documented clinically localized, adenocarcinoma of the prostate.

2. Subject with clinical stage T1 or T2 with Gleason score of 6 or 7 (3+4 or 4+3).

3. At least one (1) MRI evaluable tumor with volume of 400 mm3 or greater.

4. At least total of 10 mm of cancer tissue based on an MRI guided 12-core biopsy.

5. Recent (≤ 6 months prior to study entry) negative bone scan and computerized tomography (CT) scan of abdomen/pelvis.

6. Life expectancy of at least 5 years.

7. Subjects should have adequate bone marrow function defined as an absolute peripheral granulocyte count ≥ 1,500 and platelet count of ≥ 100,000, adequate hepatic function with a bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dl and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) < 4x the upper limits of normal, adequate renal function defined as serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dl

8. Subjects must have a coagulation profile (prothrombin time [PT], partial thromboplastin time [PTT]) not more than 2-times the upper limit of normal and no history of substantial non-iatrogenic bleeding diatheses. Use of anticoagulants within 5-days of the Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 injections is limited to local use only (for control of central line patency).

9. Subject is willing to refrain from sexual activity or agrees to use a barrier contraceptive device (e.g. condom) for 8-weeks after treatment with Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3.

10. Subjects must sign an informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of the study.

Key Exclusion Criteria

Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded:

1. Prior primary radiation treatment to the prostate.

2. Severe bladder outlet obstructive disorder (AUA >25) or urinary track retention.

3. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy or other investigational study drug within the past 4 weeks.

4. Unable to tolerate TRUS.

5. Subjects with uncontrolled cardiac, hepatic, renal or neurologic/psychiatric disorders, that in the opinion of the investigator put the subject at significant risk, are not eligible.

6. Subjects who are HIV positive or have active hepatitis B or C infections are not eligible.

7. Subjects with a clinical history of primary or secondary immunodeficiency, autoimmune disease or subjects taking immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids continuously for > 4 months [> 5 mg hydrocortisone/day] are ineligible.

8. As a result of medical review, physical examination, the Principal Investigator (or medically qualified nominee) considers the subject unfit for the study.
