Comparing Neoadjuvant/Adjuvant GVAX vs a mKRASvax Given With Anti-PD-1 and Anti-CD137 for Surgically Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of AGEN2373 that is safe when given in combination with balstilimab and Pancreatic GVAX Whole Cell Vaccine and evaluate the safety and clinical activity of balstilimab and AGEN2373 in combination with GVAX (Arm 1) or mKRASvax (Arm 2) in surgically resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
