Phase II Trial of Combination Immunotherapy in Subjects With Advanced Small Bowel and Colorectal Cancers

Background:

Metastatic or refractory/recurrent small bowel and colorectal cancers cannot be cured and are often not helped by standard treatments. Researchers want to find better treatments by testing a combination of drugs.

Objective:

To learn if a new combination of immunotherapy drugs can shrink tumors in people with advanced small bowel and colorectal cancers.

Eligibility:

People ages 18 and older who have advanced metastatic or refractory/recurrent small bowel and/or colorectal cancer.

Design:

Participants will be screened on a separate protocol. They will have a physical exam and medical history. They will have imaging scans. They will have blood and urine tests. Their heart function will be measured. They may have a tumor biopsy.

Participants will repeat some of the screening tests during the study.

Participants will be put into study groups. Each group will get a combination of the following drugs: CV301 vaccine (modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-BN-CV301 and Fowlpox (FPV)-CV301), M7824 (MSB0011359C), and N-803 (Anktiva). Some will also get NHS-IL12 (M9241).

Participants will get the CV301 vaccines by injection under the skin. They will get M7824 by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks. They will get N-803 by injection under the skin every 2 or 4 weeks. They may get NHS-IL12 by injection under the skin every 4 weeks. They will take the study drugs for up to 1 year. They will visit the National Institutes of Health (NIH) every 2 weeks.

After treatment ends, participants will go to the clinic for a 28-day follow-up visit or have a telephone call. They will be contacted every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months after that for the rest of their life.
