Patient case: 57-year-old female with Pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Genetic variant: RB1, TP53, KRAS. Other conditions: None.

Clinical trial: Epacadostat, Pembrolizumab, and CRS-207, With or Without CY/GVAX Pancreas in Patients With Metastatic Pancreas Cancer

Summary: 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.
