Summary:

      The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) of subjects with
      previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with cyclophosphamide
      (CY)/nivolumab/GVAX pancreas vaccine followed by nivolumab/CRS-207 (Arm A) to subjects
      treated with CY/GVAX pancreas vaccine followed by CRS-207 (Arm B).
