Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer vaccine for patients with pancreatic or colorectal cancer who have not responded to other treatments. The vaccine will be given with two other drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with certain types of pancreatic or colorectal cancer that's been surgically removed and who've had previous chemotherapy can join. They must be in good health, have a life expectancy over 6 months, and use birth control. People can't join if they're on high-dose steroids, had recent radiation or chemo, prior immunotherapy, severe allergies to antibodies, active autoimmune diseases, serious infections including HIV/hepatitis B/C, brain metastases or need oxygen therapy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and immune response to a new KRAS peptide vaccine combined with Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in patients with specific types of pancreatic and colorectal cancers. The study will see how well this combination works after surgery and standard treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical reactions to vaccines like soreness at the injection site as well as more serious conditions such as inflammation from immune responses caused by Nivolumab and Ipilimumab which could affect various organs.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What other examinations have been conducted regarding the efficacy of KRAS peptide vaccine?

"Presently, 764 trials related to KRAS peptide vaccine are underway. Of these undertakings, 86 are in the third phase of research and development. Though most experiments with this treatment occur in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania there is a far-reaching network of 42760 sites conducting relevant studies."

Answered by AI

Has the KRAS peptide vaccine been officially sanctioned by the FDA?

"Based on the available research, we can confidently assign KRAS peptide vaccine a score of 1. As this is still in its early phases, there's limited data to support both safety and efficacy."

Answered by AI

What is the aim of this research project?

"According to the trial sponsor, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the primary outcome that will be evaluated over a span of two years is Fold change in interferon-producing mutant-KRAS-specific CD8 and CD4 T cells at 16 weeks. Additionally, this study intends to assess various secondary objectives such as Objective Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1, Disease Free Survival (DFS), and iRECIST's ORR."

Answered by AI

Are participants being actively recruited for this trial?

"Clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this study, which was originally posted on May 29th 2020 is currently open for recruitment and recently updated on August 12th 2022."

Answered by AI

What diseases is the KRAS peptide vaccine routinely employed to address?

"KRAS peptide vaccine is typically used to address anti-angiogenic therapy, although it has seen success in treating other malignancies such as melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma."

Answered by AI

What is the current enrollment count for this trial?

"Affirmative. In accordance with the information uploaded on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical study has resumed its search for participants after being initially posted on May 29th 2020 and was last modified on August 12th 2022.
