A Phase Ii Study Of Gvax Colon Vaccine With Cyclophosphamide And Pembrolizumab In Patients With Mismatch Repair-Proficient (Mmr-P) Advanced Colorectal Cancer
JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY(2019)
Abstract
563Background: Mismatch repair proficient (MMRp) colorectal cancer (CRC) is refractory to single-agent programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) inhibitors. Cancer vaccines may prime the tumor microenvironment for anti-PD1 therapy. Colon GVAX is an allogeneic, whole-cell, GM-CSF-secreting vaccine that induces T-cell immunity against tumor-associated antigens. GVAX has previously been studied in combination with low-dose cyclophosphamide (Cy) to inhibit regulatory T cells. Methods: We conducted an open label, single-arm, phase 2 study of GVAX/Cy in combination with the PD1 inhibitor pembrolizumab in patients with MMRp CRC who had received at least two prior lines of therapy in the metastatic setting. Patients received pembrolizumab plus Cy on day 1, GVAX on day 2, of a 21 day cycle through 4 cycles, and were then continued on a maintenance regimen of pembolizumab every 3 weeks with cy/GVAX given every 12 weeks. Results: Seventeen patients were enrolled. There were no objective responses, and the disease contro...
