Vaccine and Immunotherapy for Removable Pancreatic Cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests two different vaccines (GVAX and a mKRAS vaccine) given before and after surgery for pancreatic cancer. Both vaccines are combined with immunotherapy drugs to help your immune system fight the cancer. The goal is to see which vaccine works better and is safe for patients whose tumors can be removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer that is confirmed by a biopsy.
- Your tumor can be removed with surgery, and your doctor agrees.
- You are willing to have a biopsy (tissue sample) of your tumor.
- You have not had any previous treatment for pancreatic cancer, including chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy.
- You do not have an active autoimmune disease, uncontrolled infection, or other serious health conditions (like heart failure or lung disease).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a cancer vaccine (ELI-002 7P) for people with pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread to other parts of the body. It may be given alone or with another drug (tislelizumab) that helps the immune system fight cancer. The goal is to see if these treatments can help keep the cancer from coming back after surgery or chemotherapy.
This trial tests a cancer vaccine designed to target KRAS-mutated tumors, combined with two immunotherapy drugs, for people with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer. It may help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
This trial tests a personalized vaccine plus a drug that helps your immune system attack cancer cells (a PD-L1 blocker) in people who have just had surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if the combination can prevent the cancer from coming back.
This trial tests a combination of an oncolytic virus (a virus that attacks cancer cells) and a PD-1 inhibitor (an immunotherapy drug) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has not responded to at least two prior treatments.
This trial tests a personalized neoantigen vaccine given along with an anti-PD1 drug (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy after surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can help prevent the cancer from coming back.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It may be an option if you have already tried at least one previous treatment or if you have not had any treatment yet, depending on the study group.
