Brief Summary

Preliminary studies with a variety of vaccines suggest target accessibility (potential immunogenicity) in a variety of solid tumors to immune directed approaches. In an effort to overcome limitations ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histologically confirmed colorectal carcinoma with synchronous or metachronous liver metastases +/- pulmonary metastases.
  • Part 1 patients: May have multiple number of metastatic lesions as long as they can be rendered no evidence of disease (NED).
  • Part 2 patients: Maximum total number of metastatic lesions \</= 6. (Patients with CLM with EHD other than lung will be evaluated on an individual basis by the sponsor).
  • For patients with 1 but up to 3 total lesions, distribution must include both liver + pulmonary metastases.
  • For patients with 4-6 total lesions, distribution may include liver +/- pulmonary metastases.
  • Candidate for surgical excision +/= ablation with curative intent based on pre-operative assessment incorporating a CT/PET scan.
  • Has been informed of all alternative ≥ first and/or second-line therapies that are the current standard of care. If no conventional frontline therapy indicated or acceptable by patient, patient may participate after review by sponsor.
  • Planned resected viable tumor in sufficient quantity ("golf ball size" estimated weight \~ 30 grams) for vaccine processing.
  • Recovered to ≤ Grade 1 (excluding alopecia) from all clinically relevant toxicities related to prior therapies.
  • Patients must be off all "statin" drugs for ≥ 2 weeks prior to initiation of therapy.
  • Age ≥18 years.
  • ECOG performance status (PS) 0-2.
  • Estimated \>4 month survival probability.
  • Normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • Absolute granulocyte count ≥1,500/mm3 Absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 500/mm3 Platelets ≥100,000/mm3 Total bilirubin \</=2 mg/dL AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) \</=2x institutional upper limit of normal Creatinine \<1.5 mg/dL
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Prior approved sandwich / adjuvant therapy is permitted maximum of 3 cycles (1 cycle = 2 biweekly courses / 1 month) anterior therapy and at least 6 months between cessation of chemotherapy and the diagnosis of metastatic disease.
  • Prior surgical resection, ablation or radiation therapy for metastatic disease prior to or at the time of tissue procurement.
  • Portal, celiac or periaortic metastases.
  • Patient must not have received any other investigational agents within 30 days prior to study entry/ registration.
  • Patients with known active or symptomatic brain metastases.
  • Patients with compromised pulmonary disease.
  • Short term (\<30 days) concurrent systemic steroids ≤ 0.125 mg/kg prednisone per day (maximum 10 mg/day) and bronchodilators (inhaled steroids) are permitted; other steroid regimens and/or immunosuppressives are excluded.
  • Prior splenectomy.
  • Prior malignancy (excluding nonmelanoma carcinomas of the skin) unless in remission for ≥ 2 years.
  • Kaposi's Sarcoma.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
