Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Gene Mediated Cytotoxic Immunotherapy (GMCI™) in combination with standard of care chemoradiation and surgery for borderline resectable and unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer in patients who have completed induction chemotherapy. GMCI kills tumor cells and creates an immune stimulatory environment in the tumor. Killing tumor cells in an immune stimulatory environment induces the body's immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. GMCI has shown synergy with radiation and surgery without added toxicity. The hypothesis is that GMCI added to standard of care chemoradiation and surgery after completion of induction chemotherapy will be safe and will improve the clinical outcome for patients with pancreatic cancer.
