Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information.
* Age \> 18 years at the time of consent.
* ECOG Performance Status of 0-1 within 14 days prior to being registered for protocol therapy (Study Procedure Manual).
* Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate (with previous diagnostic tissue available for tumor marker analysis).
* Gleason 7 - 10, cT2a - cT3b adenocarcinoma of the prostate with plans for radical prostatectomy
* PSA ≥ 4 ng/ml
* Tumor visible on multiparametric MRI
* Tolerated previous transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy procedure under local anesthetic
* Uncomplicated previous TRUS biopsy procedure (i.e., no prior hospitalization due to sepsis, prostatic abscess or severe hemorrhage following TRUS prostate biopsy)
* Willing to undergo the intra-tumoral (IT) injection of the Poly-ICLC into the prostatic tumor as per the protocol
* No prior hormonal therapy with the exception of oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride, etc.). Patients who have received prior oral anti-androgen therapies (bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, etc.) must be off treatment for at least 6 weeks prior to enrollment. Patients who have received prior LHRH agonist or antagonist therapy (leuprolide, goserelin acetate, etc.) are eligible provided serum testosterone is \> 50 mg/dl.
* No prior radiation therapy (external beam or brachytherapy) to the pelvis or prostate.
* No clinically significant infections as judged by the treating investigator.
* No characteristics suggesting a potential higher risk of infection with intraprostatic injections:
* Recurrent urinary tract infections or history of prostatitis within 3 months prior to enrollment into the study.
* Urine analysis positive for nitrites and leucocyte esterase. Such patients could be considered for the study after treatment and resolution of the infection.
* Active proctitis
* History of prostatic abscess
* Taking immunosuppressive medication including systemic corticosteroids
* Active hematologic malignancy
* No uncontrolled angina, congestive heart failure or MI within 6 months.
* Patients with history of HIV (if CD4+ T cell counts are ≥350 cells/µL on established ART therapy), Hepatitis B (with viral load below limits of quantification) or Hepatitis C (who have completed a curative therapy and have a viral load below the limit of quantification) are eligible for this study.
* No treatment with any investigational agent for any medical condition within 28 days prior to being registered for protocol therapy.
* Adequate end organ function as determined by the following laboratory values:
* White blood cell count (WBC) \> 2.5 k/mm3
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.5 k/mm3
* Hemoglobin (Hgb) \> 8.0 g/dL
* Platelets \> 100 k/mm3
* Calculated creatinine clearance of \> 60 cc/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula:
Males: (140 - Age in years) × Actual Body Weight in kg 72 × Serum Creatinine (mg/dL)
* Bilirubin \< 2.0 x ULN
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 2.5 x ULN
