Study Summary
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
Inclusion Criteria:
Cohort A: Must fall into one of the three categories defined as high risk of developing pancreatic cancer and are undergoing pancreatic surveillance AND 2) have documented radiographic evidence of a pancreatic abnormality such as a pancreatic cyst.
High Risk Group 1 (familial pancreatic cancer relatives):
>/=55 years old or 10 years younger than the age of youngest relative withpancreatic cancer, and
Come from a family with 2 or more members with a history of pancreatic cancer (2 of which have a first-degree relationship consistent with familialpancreatic cancer), and
Have a first-degree relationship with at least one of the relatives withpancreatic cancer.
If there are 2 or more affected blood relatives, at least 1 must be afirst-degree relative of the individual being screened.
High Risk Group 2 (Germline mutation carriers with an associated with an estimatedlifetime risk of pancreatic cancer of ~10% or higher):
>/=40 years old and the Patient is a carrier of FAMMM (p16/CDKN2A) mutationregardless of family pancreas cancer history.
OR
>/= 50 years old or 10 years younger than the age of the youngest relative withpancreatic cancer, and the Patient is a carrier of a known BRCA2, ATM, PALB2mutation.
Persons with known genetic mutation should have proof of mutation status. Those whohad research-related genetic testing must have confirmation by a clinicalCLIA-certified laboratory. o High Risk Group 3 (Germline mutation carriers with an associated with an estimatedlifetime risk of pancreatic cancer of ~5%):
>/= 50 years old or 10 years younger than the age of the youngest relative withpancreatic cancer, and
The patient is a carrier of a known, BRCA1, or HNPCC (hereditary non-polyposiscolorectal cancer or Lynch syndrome, hMLH1, hMSH2, PMS1, hMSH6, EpCAM) genemutation, and there is > 1 pancreatic cancer in the family, one of whom is a first-or second-degree relative of the subject to be screened.
Persons with known genetic mutation should have proof of mutation status. Those whohad research-related genetic testing must have confirmation by a clinicalCLIA-certified laboratory.
Cohort A: Patients must have a pancreatic imaging abnormality that is being followedby pancreatic imaging surveillance (EUS and/or MRI and /or CT), such as a pancreaticcyst consistent with an IPMN or parenchymal abnormalities consistent with PanIN.
Cohort B: Patients must have clinical, radiographic, or histologic evidence ofpancreatic cystic neoplasm with high-risk features warranting surgicalresection per the discretion of the treating hepatobiliary surgeon.
Cohort B: Patients must have cystic fluid testing that demonstrates thepresence of one of the six KRAS mutations included in the study vaccine.
Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function defined by study-specifiedlaboratory tests prior to initial study drug.
Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Woman of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and followcontraceptive guidelines as defined per protocol.
Men must use acceptable form of birth control while on study.
Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
If expected to require any other form of systemic or localized antineoplastictherapy while on study.
Within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug. o Any systemic or topical corticosteroids at immunosuppressive agents.
Within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug.
Any investigational device.
Has received a live vaccine.
Received any allergen hyposensitization therapy.
Any major surgery.
Infection with HIV or hepatitis B or C.
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, uncontrolledinfection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina, cardiacarrhythmia, metastatic cancer, or psychiatric illness/social situations that wouldlimit compliance with study requirements monoclonal antibody.
Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency.
Any other sound medical, psychiatric, and/or social reason as determined by theInvestigator.
Unwilling or unable to follow the study schedule for any reason.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
