Study Summary

This phase I pilot trial studies the side effects of cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8)+ T cells in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Tumor cells and blood are used to help create an adoptive T cell therapy, such as CD8+ T cell therapy, that is individually designed for a patient and may help doctors learn more about genetic changes in the tumor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving CD8+ T cell therapy and pembrolizumab may work better in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

Primary Outcome

Will monitor toxicity of the personalized vaccines in using cohorts of size of 5, starting from the 1st patient using the Bayesian approach of Thall, Simon, Estey.

Interventions

  • BIOLOGICAL Pembrolizumab
  • DRUG Cyclophosphamide
  • OTHER Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
  • BIOLOGICAL Aldesleukin
  • BIOLOGICAL Adoptive Immunotherapy
