Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of nivolumab and a CCR2/CCR5 dual antagonist (BMS-813160) with GVAX is safe in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) who have received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and to see if this combination therapy enhances the infiltration of CD8+CD137+ cells in PDACs .
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Age ≥18 years.
- Patients with histologically- or cytologically-proven, surgically unresectable, locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
- If the patient does not have a diagnostic biopsy that is adequate for review at our institution, the patient must agree to a research core biopsy to be performed at Johns Hopkins.
- If the patient's available imaging is not adequate for review by our institution, the patient must agree to a repeat imaging to be performed at Johns Hopkins.
- ECOG performance status 0 or 1
- Life expectancy greater than 3 months.
- Able to swallow pills or capsules.
- Patient must have adequate organ function defined by the study-specified laboratory tests.
- Patients must be eligible to receive FOLFIRINOX-based chemotherapy.
- Patients must be willing to be treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) only at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
- Patients must be willing to undergo a core biopsy of the pancreatic cancer.
- Patients must be willing to undergo a biopsy of the pancreatic cancer if the patient is not deemed a surgical candidate during the pre-surgical evaluation.
- Must use acceptable form of birth control while on study.
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
