    Abstract: GVAX pancreas, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor–secreting allogeneic pancreatic tumor cells, induces T-cell immunity to cancer antigens, including mesothelin. GVAX is administered with low-dose cyclophosphamide (Cy) to inhibit regulatory T cells. CRS-207, live-attenuated Listeria monocytogenes–expressing mesothelin, induces innate and adaptive immunity. On the basis of preclinical synergy, we tested prime/boost vaccination with GVAX and CRS-207 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Patients and Methods Previously treated patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma were randomly assigned at a ratio of 2:1 to two doses of Cy/GVAX followed by four doses of CRS-207 (arm A) or six doses of Cy/GVAX (arm B) every 3 weeks. Stable patients were offered additional courses. The primary end point was overall survival (OS) between arms. Secondary end points were safety and clinical response. Results A total of 90 patients were treated (arm A, n = 61; arm B, n = 29); 97% had received prior chemotherapy; 51% had received ≥ two regimens for metastatic disease. Mean number of doses (± standard deviation) administered in arms A and B were 5.5 ± 4.5 and 3.7 ± 2.2, respectively. The most frequent grade 3 to 4 related toxicities were transient fevers, lymphopenia, elevated liver enzymes, and fatigue. OS was 6.1 months in arm A versus 3.9 months in arm B (hazard ratio [HR], 0.59; P = .02). In a prespecified per-protocol analysis of patients who received at least three doses (two doses of Cy/GVAX plus one of CRS-207 or three of Cy/GVAX), OS was 9.7 versus 4.6 months (arm A v B; HR, 0.53; P = .02). Enhanced mesothelin-specific CD8 T-cell responses were associated with longer OS, regardless of treatment arm. Conclusion Heterologous prime/boost with Cy/GVAX and CRS-207 extended survival for patients with pancreatic cancer, with minimal toxicity.

    Abstract: 177^ Background: Immunotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is likely to require synergistic combinations. One approach is to use heterologous prime boost vaccinations to capitalize on immunostimulatory features of distinct vectors. GVAX is irradiated, GM-CSF-secreting allogeneic pancreatic cell lines given intradermally to elicit a broad antigenic response. Low-dose cyclophosphamide (CY) is given prior to GVAX to inhibit regulatory T-cells. CRS-207 is live-attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) which expresses mesothelin and stimulates innate and adaptive immunity. In mouse tumor models, Lm/GVAX vaccines are synergistic and in the Phase 1 study of CRS-207, 3 PDA patients who had received prior GVAX lived ≥15 months (mos). Methods: Metastatic PDA patients (ECOG 0-1; adequate organ function) who received or refused ≥1 prior chemotherapy were randomized 2:1 to receive either 2 doses of CY/GVAX followed by 4 doses of CRS-207 (Arm A) or 6 doses of CY/GVAX (Arm B) every 3 weeks. Courses could be repeated. The primary endpoint was to compare overall survival (OS) between the arms. Secondary endpoints were safety, clinical and immune responses. One-sided p-values are reported. Results: 90 patients (Full Analysis Set [FAS]; A: 61, B: 29), of which 51% had received ≥2 chemotherapy regimens for metastatic PDA, were treated. After a median follow-up of 7.8 mos, median OS in FAS was 6.1 vs 3.9 mos (A vs B; HR=0.54, p=0.011). Median OS in patients who received ≥3 doses (per protocol [PP] set: 2 doses of CY/GVAX and ≥1 dose of CRS-207 in A or ≥3 doses of CY/GVAX in B) was 9.7 vs 4.6 mos (A vs B; HR=0.44, p=0.0074). The treatment effect was particularly evident in patients who received ≥2 prior regimens for metastatic PDA with median OS of 5.1 vs 3.7 mos (A vs B; HR=0.34, p=0.001). OS in the PP set was 8.2 vs 4.0 mos (A vs B; HR=0.23, p=0.0003). CA19-9 stabilization was seen in 32% vs 13% of patients (A vs B; p=0.06). Toxicities included local reactions after GVAX and transient fevers, rigors and lymphopenia after CRS-207. Conclusions: CY/GVAX followed by CRS-207 shows extended survival with manageable toxicity in previously-treated metastatic PDA and warrants further study. Clinical trial information: NCT01417000.

    Abstract: 4040^ Background: GVAX is composed of GM-CSF-secreting allogeneic pancreas cancer cell lines and administered with low-dose cyclophosphamide (CY) to inhibit regulatory T cells. In prior studies, GVAX induced mesothelin-specific T cell responses that correlated with survival. CRS-207 is a live-attenuated Listeria monocytogenes engineered to express human mesothelin. CRS-207 stimulates potent innate and adaptive immunity and has shown synergy with GVAX in mouse tumor models. Anecdotal survival benefit was observed in the CRS-207 phase I study in patients who received prior GVAX. Methods: Patients were enrolled with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) who received or refused ≥ 1 prior chemotherapy, had ECOG ≤ 1 and adequate organ function. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive 2 doses of CY/GVAX followed by 4 doses of CRS-207 (Arm A) or 6 doses of CY/GVAX (Arm B) every 3 weeks. Clinically stable patients were offered additional 20-week courses. The primary endpoint was comparison of OS between treatment arms. Secondary endpoints were to evaluate safety, clinical and immune responses. Results: 90 patients were treated (Arm A: 61, Arm B: 29). As of Jan 2013, 27 patients completed 1 course (A: 24, B: 3) and 17 patients (A: 15, B: 2) initiated a 2 nd course. Median age was 63. Median number of prior regimens was 3. No treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) or unexpected toxicities were observed. The most frequent Grade (G) 3/4 related toxicities were fever, lymphopenia, hypophosphatemia, elevated liver enzymes, and fatigue following CRS-207 in 〈 5% of subjects. Of 51 patients evaluated post-treatment, 34% had stable disease in Arm A vs. 19% in Arm B. OS for all patients treated was 6 months in Arm A vs. 3.4 months in Arm B (two-sided, p=0.0114). Conclusions: Combined CY/GVAX pancreas and CRS-207 was generally well-tolerated with no treatment-related SAEs or unexpected G3/4 toxicities. The significant difference in OS between treatment arms met the criteria for early stopping. This indicates that the combination immunotherapy may extend OS for metastatic PDA patients with minimal toxicity and should continue to be developed as an effective therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT01417000.
