Pilot Study With CY, Pembrolizumab, GVAX, and IMC-CS4 (LY3022855) in Patients With Borderline Resectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether combining cyclophosphamide (CY), pembrolizumab, GVAX and IMC-CS4 is effective and safe in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer.

Conditions

• Pancreatic Cancer

Interventions

DRUG

Cyclophosphamide

200 mg/m\^2, intravenous (IV) infusion Patients receive neoadjuvant immunotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide and pembrolizumab on day 1, IMC-CS4 on days 1, 8, and 15, and GVAX on day 2 of Cycles 1 and 2 (3 weeks/cycle). Patients will then undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy 2-3 weeks later, followed by standard of care adjuvant chemotherapy at the discretion of the primary oncologist. Patients may then receive 4 cycles (3 weeks/cycle) of adjuvant immunotherapy (same regimen as Cycles 1 and 2). Disease free patients may receive an additional 12 booster cycles (3 weeks/cycle) of immunotherapy consisting of pembrolizumab on day 1 of all 12 booster cycles, as well as cyclophosphamide on day 1 and GVAX on day 2 of the 6th and 12th booster cycle.

DRUG

GVAX Pancreas Vaccine (GVAX)

5x10\^8 cells, six intradermal (ID) injections Patients receive neoadjuvant immunotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide and pembrolizumab on day 1, IMC-CS4 on days 1, 8, and 15, and GVAX on day 2 of Cycles 1 and 2 (3 weeks/cycle). Patients will then undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy 2-3 weeks later, followed by standard of care adjuvant chemotherapy at the discretion of the primary oncologist. Patients may then receive 4 cycles (3 weeks/cycle) of adjuvant immunotherapy (same regimen as Cycles 1 and 2). Disease free patients may receive an additional 12 booster cycles (3 weeks/cycle) of immunotherapy consisting of pembrolizumab on day 1 of all 12 booster cycles, as well as cyclophosphamide on day 1 and GVAX on day 2 of the 6th and 12th booster cycle.

DRUG

Pembrolizumab

200 mg, intravenous (IV) infusion Patients receive neoadjuvant immunotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide and pembrolizumab on day 1, IMC-CS4 on days 1, 8, and 15, and GVAX on day 2 of Cycles 1 and 2 (3 weeks/cycle).

Patients may then receive 4 cycles (3 weeks/cycle) of adjuvant immunotherapy (same regimen as Cycles 1 and 2). Disease free patients may receive an additional 12 booster cycles (3 weeks/cycle) of immunotherapy consisting of pembrolizumab on day 1 of all 12 booster cycles, as well as cyclophosphamide on day 1 and GVAX on day 2 of the 6th and 12th booster cycle.

DRUG

IMC-CS4

75 mg (dose level 1) or 100 mg (dose level 2), intravenous (IV) infusion Patients receive neoadjuvant immunotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide and pembrolizumab on day 1, IMC-CS4 on days 1, 8, and 15, and GVAX on day 2 of Cycles 1 and 2 (3 weeks/cycle). Patients will then undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy 2-3 weeks later, followed by standard of care adjuvant chemotherapy at the discretion of the primary oncologist. Patients may then receive 4 cycles (3 weeks/cycle) of adjuvant immunotherapy (same regimen as Cycles 1 and 2).
