Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the immune response of personalized mutant peptide vaccine with poly-ICLC adjuvant (mBTCvax) in combination with durvalumab and tremelimumab following front-line treatment in patients with advanced stage BTC.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced biliary tract or pancreatic cancer who have completed initial treatment. It's not suitable for those with certain medical conditions that could interfere with the study, or if they've had previous treatments that might affect the results.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a personalized peptide vaccine (mBTCvax) combined with two immune-boosting drugs, Durvalumab and Tremelimumab, to see how safe it is and how well it triggers an immune response against cancer after first-line therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions to vaccines such as soreness at injection site, fever, fatigue; and immune-related effects from Durvalumab and Tremelimumab like skin rash, diarrhea, liver inflammation.
