The drug

What is being tested.

1. DNAJB1-PRKACA peptide vaccine: Day 1, 8, 15 of cycle 1 and on Day 1 of cycle 2, 3 and 4 (priming phase). Boost vaccinations: every 3 cycles beginning C5D1.

1. Nivolumab 3mg/kg will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion (-10/+15min) on Day 1 of Cycle 1-4 during the priming phase. Boost/maintenance vaccinations will be administered as a flat dose of 480mg every 4 weeks starting on Day 1 of Cycle 5.

The study

How the trial runs.

The primary objective of the trial is the safety and tolerability of administering a vaccine targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion kinase, in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic FLC and with non-FLC solid tumors and to assess the T-cell response.
