Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will enroll patients who have metastatic pancreatic cancer with stable disease on FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. The main purpose of this study is to compare survival between patients that receive ipilimumab and a pancreatic tumor vaccine and patients who continue to receive FOLFIRINOX.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Ipilimumab + Vaccine (Arm A)

Ipilimumab and vaccine will be administered every 3 weeks for 4 doses, then every 8 weeks.

Drug: Ipilimumab
3 mg/kg administered IV (10mg/kg if treatment started prior to protocol v 6.3)
Other Names:
  • MDX-010
  • BMS-734016
  • Biological: Vaccine
    5x10^8 cells administered in 6 intradermal injections
    Other Names:
  • PANC 6.03 pcDNA-1/GM-Neo and PANC 10.05 pcDNA-1/GM-Neo
  • Allogeneic GM-CSF-Transduced Pancreatic Tumor Cell Vaccine (GVAX)
  • Experimental: FOLFIRINOX (Arm B)

    Administered every 14 days (one cycle)

    Drug: FOLFIRINOX
    Standard of care FOLFIRINOX may be modified according to the patient's known tolerability. Acceptable modified options could include 5-FU alone, capecitabine, FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, or FOLFIRINOX on a 21 day cycle.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Survival (OS) [4 years]

      Overall Survival is the time between the date of randomization on study and death.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Toxicity of Ipilimumab in Combination With Pancreatic Tumor Vaccine [From the first dose of study drug through 70 days after last dose, up to 13 months]

      Toxicity was assessed as the number of patients experiencing study drug-related adverse events (AEs). Data reported for only study drug-related adverse events (not all adverse events as reported in the adverse events section).

    2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Up to 4 years]

      Progression Free Survival is the time from date of randomization to progression or death, whichever comes first. Individuals without follow-up scans were censored one day after randomization and individuals with follow-up scans who did not have disease progression were censored at date of last scan.

    3. Immune-related Progression Free Survival (irPFS) [Up to 4 years]

      Immune-related Progression Free Survival is the median time from date of randomization to disease progression or death, whichever comes first. Individuals without follow-up scans were censored one day after randomization and individuals with follow-up scans who did not have disease progression were censored at date of last scan. Disease progression was evaluated using immune-related Response Criteria (irRC). irRC differs from RECIST primarily in that target lesions are measured in 2 dimensions and new lesions contribute to tumor burden, but do not by themselves qualify as progressive disease.

    4. Objective Response Rate [Assessed until disease progression, up to 2 years]

      Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the number of patients from each group achieving a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    5. Immune-related Objective Response Rate [Assessed until disease progression, up to 2 years]

      Immune-related Objective Response Rate (irORR) is measured the same way, except that tumor responses are evaluated using immune-related response criteria (irRC). irRC differs from RECIST primarily in that target lesions are measured in 2 dimensions and new lesions contribute to tumor burden, but do not by themselves qualify as progressive disease.

    6. Duration of Response [Up to 22 months]

      Average length of time between achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and documentation of recurrent or progressive disease.

    7. Tumor Marker Kinetics as Assessed by Median Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) Levels [Baseline, Week 7, and Week 10 visits]

      Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is a tumor marker measured in the blood of patients with pancreas cancer. Not all patients with pancreas cancer will have elevated CA19-9 and there are some conditions other than cancer that can cause an elevated CA19-9. Normal CA19-9 range is 0-36 U/mL.

    Only 1 patient on Arm A (Ipilimumab + Vaccine) and 3 patients on Arm B (FOLFIRINOX) achieved a response by RECIST and were included in this analysis. 2 additional patients (1 Arm A and 1 Arm B) achieved a response by irRC, but these patients were both taken off study the same day as their partial response, for disease progression by RECIST.
    Arm/Group Title Ipilimumab + Vaccine FOLFIRINOX
    Arm/Group Description Ipilimumab and vaccine will be administered every 3 weeks for 4 doses, then every 8 weeks. Ipilimumab: 3 mg/kg administered IV (10mg/kg if treatment started prior to protocol v 6.3) Vaccine: 5x10^8 cells administered in 6 intradermal injections Administered every 14 days (one cycle) FOLFIRINOX: Standard of care FOLFIRINOX may be modified according to the patient's known tolerability. Acceptable modified options could include 5-FU alone, capecitabine, FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, or FOLFIRINOX on a 21 day cycle.

    Title Tumor Marker Kinetics as Assessed by Median Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) Levels
    Description Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is a tumor marker measured in the blood of patients with pancreas cancer. Not all patients with pancreas cancer will have elevated CA19-9 and there are some conditions other than cancer that can cause an elevated CA19-9. Normal CA19-9 range is 0-36 U/mL.
    Time Frame Baseline, Week 7, and Week 10 visits

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Only patients who were considered CA19-9 secretors (expressed CA19-9 either on study or prior to study) were included in the analysis. 32 in Arm A (Ipilimumab+Vaccine) and 31 in Arm B (FOLFIRINOX). Only subjects evaluable for this outcome at the specified time points had CA19-9 drawn and could be included in the analysis.
    Arm/Group Title Ipilimumab + Vaccine FOLFIRINOX
    Arm/Group Description Ipilimumab and vaccine administered every 3 weeks for 4 doses, then every 8 weeks. Ipilimumab: 3 mg/kg administered IV (10mg/kg if treatment started prior to protocol v 6.3) Vaccine: 5x10^8 cells administered in 6 intradermal injections Administered every 14 days (one cycle) FOLFIRINOX: Standard of care FOLFIRINOX may be modified according to the patient's known tolerability.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Adverse Events were collected from the first dose of study drug through 70 days after the last dose of study drug, up to 13 months
    Adverse Event Reporting Description AEs were not collected for Arm B subjects (FOLFIRINOX). 39 Arm A subjects (Ipilimumab+Vaccine) received at least 1 dose of study drug and were evaluable for toxicity.
    Arm/Group Title Ipilimumab + Vaccine
