Summary

This study tested a combination of a pancreatic cancer vaccine (GVAX), an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab), and focused radiation (SBRT) in 58 people with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The goal was to see if this mix could delay the cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. Participants had already received standard chemotherapy before joining. The study measured how long patients lived without the cancer spreading and tracked any serious side effects.
