Purpose
This clinical trial will evaluate the safety, immune response and overall survival of the sequential administration of two cancer vaccines, GVAX Pancreas Vaccine and CRS-207. GVAX vaccines are composed of cancer cells that have been genetically-modified to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to stimulate the immune system and that have been irradiated to prevent further cell division. GVAX Pancreas is administered with cyclophosphamide, which has been shown to increase effectiveness of GVAX by inhibiting T regulatory cells. CRS-207 is a weakened (attenuated) form of Listeria monocytogenes that has been genetically modified to reduce its capacity to cause disease, while maintaining its ability to stimulate potent innate and adaptive immunity. CRS-207 has been engineered to elicit an immune response against the tumor-associated antigen mesothelin, which has been shown to be present at higher levels on certain tumor cells than on normal cells.

- To compare overall survival in subjects receiving test treatments [ Time Frame: Up to five years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Patients will be followed at regular intervals to assess survival
- To assess safety of the cyclophosphamide, GVAX Pancreas vaccine, and CRS-207 treatment regimen [ Time Frame: About 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Patients will be monitored for adverse events throughout the course of the study
- To assess the immune response [ Time Frame: About three years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Patient samples will be evaluated for vaccine-induced Listeria- and mesothelin-specific immune responses

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter, open-label study of cyclophosphamide and GVAX pancreas vaccine followed by CRS-207 in adults with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have received or refused at least one prior chemotherapy treatment.
Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either two doses of cyclophosphamide and GVAX pancreas vaccine and up to 4 doses of CRS-207 at 1 × 10e9 CFU (Treatment Arm A) or up to six doses of cyclophosphamide and GVAX pancreas vaccine (Treatment Arm B). Study assessments include blood draws for safety and immune response monitoring and CT scans for tumor response evaluations.
After completion of treatment, subjects will continue to be followed by phone and optional clinic visits for the duration of the study. At the investigator's discretion, subjects may receive additional cycles of the assigned treatment regimen if they are clinically stable and meet dosing eligibility. At the conclusion of the study, all remaining subjects will be offered enrollment in a long-term follow-up study.
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
| Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Have histologically proven malignant adenocarcinoma of the pancreas; measurable disease is not required. (Subjects with mixed histology will be included if the predominant component is adenocarcinoma. Subjects must have metastatic disease.)
- Have received or refused at least one chemotherapy regimen
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Have an anticipated life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks
- For women and men of childbearing potential, a medically acceptable method of highly effective contraception (oral hormonal contraceptive, condom plus spermicide, or hormone implants) must be used throughout the study period and for 28 days after their final vaccine administration. (A barrier method of contraception must be employed by all subjects [male and female], regardless of other methods.)
- Be willing and able to give written informed consent, and be able to comply with all study procedures
- Have adequate organ function as defined by specified laboratory values
Exclusion Criteria:
- Currently have or have history of certain study-specified heart, liver, kidney, lung, neurological, immune or other medical conditions
- Have a known history or evidence of brain metastases
- Have any evidence of hepatic cirrhosis or clinical or radiographic ascites
- Have clinically significant and/or malignant pleural effusion
- Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any component of GVAX Pancreas vaccine or CRS-207, or known allergy to both penicillin and sulfa
- Received an investigational product within 28 days of study treatment or planned to receive within 28 days after vaccine administration
- Used any systemic steroids within 28 days of study treatment
- Use more than 3 g/d of acetaminophen
- An artificial (prosthetic) joint or other artificial implant or device that cannot be easily removed (with some exceptions for dental and breast implants and biliary stents and mediports)
- Major surgery or significant traumatic injury (or unhealed surgical wounds) occurring within 28 days prior to receiving study drug, or planned surgery requiring general anesthesia
- Infection with HIV or hepatitis B or C at screening
- Any immunodeficiency disease or immunocompromised state or active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease requiring systemic steroids or other immunosuppressive treatment
- Be a woman who is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Unable to avoid close contact with another individual known to be at high risk of listeriosis (e.g., newborn infant, pregnant woman, HIV-positive individual) during the course of CRS-207 treatment until completion of antibiotic regimen
- 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
