Summary

This trial will test a combination of three drugs to treat patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and if it enhances the infiltration of CD8+CD137+ cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with locally advanced pancreatic cancer that hasn't spread and can't be removed by surgery. They should have a life expectancy of more than 3 months, no prior treatments for their cancer, and must be able to take pills and undergo certain tests at Johns Hopkins. They need good organ function, agree to specific chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX), radiation therapy only at Johns Hopkins, biopsies if needed, and use birth control.
What is being tested?
The study tests if combining nivolumab (an immunotherapy drug) with BMS-813160 (a CCR2/CCR5 dual antagonist) plus GVAX (a vaccine-based treatment) after chemo and radiotherapy is safe in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. It also checks whether this combo increases immune cells' presence in the tumor.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system affecting organs, infusion-related reactions from the drugs being administered into the bloodstream, fatigue or tiredness, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems.
