Boost GVAX Pancreas Vaccine With or Without CY in Patients With Pancreas Cancer (NCT01088789)
A Safety and Feasibility Trial of Boost Vaccinations of a Lethally Irradiated, Allogeneic Pancreatic Tumor Cell Vaccine Transfected With the GM-CSF Gene Given Alone or in Combination With Either a Single Intravenous Dose or Daily Metronomic Oral Doses of Cyclophosphamide for the Treatment of Surgically Resected Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of long term boost vaccination of a lethally irradiated, allogenic pancreatic tumor cell vaccine transfected with the granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene (GVAX Pancreas Vaccine) alone or given in combination with either a single intravenous dose or daily metronomic oral doses of cyclophosphamide for the treatment of patients with surgically resected adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
