Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Cohort 1 Pancreatic Cancer
Biopsy for tissue immune profile if archived tissue not available. Folfirinox infusion for 3 cycles followed by a repeat biopsy for a second tissue immune profiling. Folfirinox plus CEND1 infusion for 3 cycles. Seventy-two hours after last infusion participant will have surgery.
Drug: CEND-1
The treatment with CEND-1 will be given as an intravenous (IV) infusion (through a needle in a vein) at the clinic once every 14 days (or Day 1 of every 14-day cycle starting in Cycle 4).

Drug: Folfirinox

FOLFIRINOX is a name for a chemotherapy treatment regimen that includes several different drugs that are given in a certain order.

All of these drugs are given as an intravenous (IV) infusion (through a needle in a vein) at the clinic once every 14 days (or Day 1 of every 14-day cycle).

  • Oxaliplatin - dose is 85 mg / m2 the infusion takes about 2 hours. then
  • Leucovorin - dose is 400 mg / m2 - this is given at same time with irinotecan (below) and the infusion takes about 1.5 hours.
  • Irinotecan - dose is 180 mg / m2 - this is given at same time with leucovorin (above), and the infusion takes about 1.5 hours.

then

• Fluorouracil - dose is 2400 mg / m2 - this infusion takes 46 to 48 hours (2 days) with an IV pump done at home.

Drug: CEND-1
The treatment with CEND-1 will be given as an intravenous (IV) infusion (through a needle in a vein) at the clinic once every 14 days (or Day 1 of every 14-day cycle starting in Cycle 4).
