Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT02243371

Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) of subjects with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with cyclophosphamide (CY)/nivolumab/GVAX pancreas vaccine followed by nivolumab/CRS-207 (Arm A) to subjects treated with CY/GVAX pancreas vaccine followed by CRS-207 (Arm B).

   - Have received any non-oncology vaccine therapy used for prevention of infectious
   diseases including seasonal vaccinations within 28 days of study treatment.

   - Prior treatment with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA4, GVAX or CRS-207

   - Conditions, including alcohol or drug dependence, intercurrent illness, or lack of
   sufficient peripheral venous access, that would affect the patient's ability to comply
   with study visits and procedures

   - Unable to avoid intimate contact with another individual known to be at high risk of
   listeriosis (e.g., newborn infant, pregnant woman, HIV-positive individual) during the
