A Phase I/II Trial of Combination Immunotherapy With Nivolumab and a CCR2/CCR5 Dual Antagonist (BMS-813160) With or Without GVAX Following Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinomas (PDACs).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of nivolumab and a CCR2/CCR5 dual
antagonist (BMS-813160) with GVAX is safe in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer
(LAPC) who have received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and to see if this combination
therapy enhances the infiltration of CD8+CD137+ cells in PDACs .


Inclusion Criteria:

- Age ≥18 years.

- Patients with histologically- or cytologically-proven, surgically unresectable,
locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

- If the patient does not have a diagnostic biopsy that is adequate for review at our
institution, the patient must agree to a research core biopsy to be performed at Johns
Hopkins.

- If the patient's available imaging is not adequate for review by our institution, the
patient must agree to a repeat imaging to be performed at Johns Hopkins.

- Patients cannot have had any prior therapy for the locally advanced pancreatic
adenocarcinoma.

- ECOG performance status 0 or 1

- Life expectancy greater than 3 months.

- Able to swallow pills or capsules.

- Patient must have adequate organ function defined by the study-specified laboratory
tests.

- Patients must be eligible to receive FOLFIRINOX-based chemotherapy.

- Patients must be willing to be treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
only at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

- Patients must be willing to undergo a core biopsy of the pancreatic cancer.

- Patients must be willing to undergo a biopsy of the pancreatic cancer if the patient
is not deemed a surgical candidate during the pre-surgical evaluation.

- Must use acceptable form of birth control while on study.

- Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Have had non-FOLFIRINOX-based chemotherapy for the pancreatic cancer.

- Have received any anti-neoplastic biologics, vaccines or hormonal treatment, including
investigational drugs, within 28 days of the first dose of study.

this study (including, but not limited to: IL-2, interferon, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1,
anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, anti-OX-40, anti-CD40, anti-CTLA-4 or anti-CCR2/5 drugs).

- Have had prior organ or tissue allograft or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation,
including corneal transplants.

- Is currently participating or has participated in a study of an investigational agent
or using an investigational device for the treatment of cancer.

- Current use of immunosuppressive medications within 14 days prior to study
medications.

- Have received any vaccine within 14 days prior to study medications.

factor (G-CSF), GM-CSF, erythropoietin, within 14 days of the first dose of study
medication.

- Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis or current pneumonitis.

- Has a pulse oximetry < 92% on room air.

- Requires the use of home oxygen.

- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to,
myocardial infarction or stroke/transient ischemic attach within the past 6 months,
uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina
pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would
limit compliance with study requirements.

treatment.

- Inability to tolerate oral medication.

- Unable to have blood drawn.

- Have had surgery within 28 days of the first dose of study medication.
