Phase 2 Study of Epacadostat, Pembrolizumab, and CRS-207, With or Without Cyclophosphamide and GVAX Pancreas Vaccine in Patients With Metastatic Pancreas Cancer

This study will enroll patients who have metastatic pancreatic cancer and have progressed on
prior chemotherapy.

Half of participants will receive epacadostat/pembrolizumab/cyclophosphamide(CY)/GVAX
pancreas vaccine followed by epacadostat/pembrolizumab/CRS-207 (Arm A), while the other half
will receive epacadostat/pembrolizumab/CRS-207 (Arm B).

The primary objectives of this study are to determine the recommended dose of epacadostat in
this combination and assess survival of subjects in both treatment groups.
