Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Status - CLOSED TO PATIENT ENROLLMENT (CNPE) Patients who have pancreatic cancer that has come back or has not gone away after treatment, including the standard treatment for this disease or patients who are not eligible for or have elected not to receive standard of care chemotherapy, and patients who will have surgery after treatment for pancreatic cancer are eligible for this study. This is a research study using special immune system cells called tumor-associated antigen (TAA)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, a new experimental therapy. The proteins that are targeted in this study are called tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). These are cell proteins that are specific to the cancer cell. They do not show, or they show up in low quantities, on normal human cells. In this study, five common TAAs will be targeted. They are called NY-ESO-1, MAGEA4, PRAME, Survivin and SSX2. On a different study, patients have been treated and so far this treatment has shown to be safe. Investigators now want to try this treatment in patients with pancreatic cancer. These TAA-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (TAA-CTLs) are an investigational product not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. \*Arm A and Arm B are closed to new patient enrollment.\*

- Group A (Closed to New Patient Enrollment)
- description
- Patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who are responding following 3 cycles of first line chemotherapy will receive 6 infusions with a fixed dose of multiTAA specific T cells beginning on the 4th week of the 4th cycle of chemotherapy. MultiTAA T cell infusions will occur on day 21 (a chemotherapy "off" week) of each chemotherapy cycle starting on chemotherapy cycle 4.

- description
- Patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have failed first line chemotherapy or are intolerant or ineligible to receive standard of care chemotherapy will be evaluated in the clinic and receive 6 infusions (administered at monthly intervals) with a fixed dose of multiTAA specific T cells.
