Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS) in Subjects Receiving Test Treatments (FAS)
Time Frame: Subjects were followed from the date of randomization to the date of death or discontinuation, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.
For all treated subjects, OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death or censoring, and was estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subjects without documentation of death at the time of the final analysis were censored using the date the subject was last known to be alive. Per the study protocol, following an Interim Analysis (IA), subjects in the Cy/GVAX arm were offered rollover to Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 arm. 3 subjects rolled over to the Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 arm (rollover subjects). These rollover subjects were censored at the day prior to the first rollover treatment dose date, and were included for analysis in the Cy/GVAX arm. Additionally, 2 subjects originally treated per the Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 arm discontinued treatment and entered follow-up, but following IA were re-treated per the Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 arm regimen. Data from these "re-treated subjects" were included in the Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 arm analysis.
Subjects were followed from the date of randomization to the date of death or discontinuation, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To Assess Safety of the Cyclophosphamide, GVAX Pancreas Vaccine, and CRS-207 Treatment Regimen
Time Frame: Starting with administration of first investigational drug product through 28 days after final study treatment, assessed up to 60 months from the date of randomization.
Safety was assessed based upon the number of adverse events (AEs) that occurred in the FAS of each treatment arm, including serious AEs and total AEs. Total AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs. AEs reported for the Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 arm (FAS) include the 61 treated subjects initially assigned to this arm plus AEs occurring on/after the first rollover dose date for the 3 Cy/GVAX rollover subjects. AEs reported for the Cy/GVAX arm (FAS) include treated subjects initially assigned to this arm but exclude AEs for rollover subjects occurring on/after the first rollover dose date.
Starting with administration of first investigational drug product through 28 days after final study treatment, assessed up to 60 months from the date of randomization.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
October 1, 2016

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
