What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival is the time between the date of randomization on study and death.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (7)

  1. Toxicity of Ipilimumab in Combination With Pancreatic Tumor Vaccine

    Toxicity was assessed as the number of patients experiencing study drug-related adverse events (AEs). Data reported for only study drug-related adverse events (not all adverse events as reported in the adverse events section).

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug through 70 days after last dose, up to 13 months

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression Free Survival is the time from date of randomization to progression or death, whichever comes first. Individuals without follow-up scans were censored one day after randomization and individuals with follow-up scans who did not have disease progression were censored at date of last scan.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  3. Immune-related Progression Free Survival (irPFS)

    Immune-related Progression Free Survival is the median time from date of randomization to disease progression or death, whichever comes first. Individuals without follow-up scans were censored one day after randomization and individuals with follow-up scans who did not have disease progression were censored at date of last scan.

    Disease progression was evaluated using immune-related Response Criteria (irRC). irRC differs from RECIST primarily in that target lesions are measured in 2 dimensions and new lesions contribute to tumor burden, but do not by themselves qualify as progressive disease.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  4. Objective Response Rate

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the number of patients from each group achieving a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Measured: Assessed until disease progression, up to 2 years

  5. Immune-related Objective Response Rate

    Immune-related Objective Response Rate (irORR) is measured the same way, except that tumor responses are evaluated using immune-related response criteria (irRC).

    irRC differs from RECIST primarily in that target lesions are measured in 2 dimensions and new lesions contribute to tumor burden, but do not by themselves qualify as progressive disease.

    Measured: Assessed until disease progression, up to 2 years

  6. Duration of Response

    Average length of time between achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and documentation of recurrent or progressive disease.

    Measured: Up to 22 months

  7. Tumor Marker Kinetics as Assessed by Median Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) Levels

    Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is a tumor marker measured in the blood of patients with pancreas cancer. Not all patients with pancreas cancer will have elevated CA19-9 and there are some conditions other than cancer that can cause an elevated CA19-9. Normal CA19-9 range is 0-36 U/mL.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 7, and Week 10 visits

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ipilimumab, Vaccine and FOLFIRINOX in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 May 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01896869.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
