About this trial

The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and estimate the efficacy of combining anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) x anti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) bispecific antibody fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells (EGFR FPBMC) for patients with metastatic or unresectable pancreas cancer. Participants receive 8 twice weekly doses and then 8 more doses every 2 weeks of EGFR FPBMC by intravenous infusion.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically confirmed locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC)/unresectable pancreatic cancer (UPC) or metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC) not eligible for curative intent therapy

Received at least 1 line of chemotherapy and have stable disease (SD) or better for 3 months prior to enrollment. Therapy should consist of either a gemcitabine, 5FU-based (including capecitabine) or albumin-bound paclitaxel-based regimen. Patients with actionable mutations should have received targeted therapy prior to enrollment on trial. Patients who qualify for immunotherapy due to mismatch repair protein/microsatellite stable and tumor mutational burden status should also have received immunotherapy prior to enrollment on trial.

Measurable disease by immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST)

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-1

Disqualifiers

Known hypersensitivity to cetuximab

Treatment with investigational agent within 3 weeks prior to registration

Serious non-healing wound, ulcer, bone fracture, major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to registration

Known active liver disease, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)+ or evidence of active Hepatitis C or B virus; bleeding or condition associated with high-risk bleeding (anticoagulation is allowed)
