Purpose
Argos Therapeutics, Inc., (Argos) proposes to study AGS-006 in a subject with newly diagnosed resectable pancreatic cancer. The AGS 006 immunotherapeutic may potentially offer a desired additional option to conventional treatments for pancreatic carcinoma.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Treatment-emergent changes in vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature) from baseline values obtained prior to each investigative treatment [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Treatment-emergent adenopathy, tenderness, or inflammation (inguinal and axillary) assessed before and after each dose [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Treatment-emergent changes in autoimmunity evaluations as measured by clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory assessments at periodic intervals during the Treatment Period. [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Treatment-emergent changes in localized injection site reactions following each dose [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Assessment of progression-free survival (PFS) estimated from the date of subject registration - Standard Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) definitions of progressive disease (PD) will contribute to estimating the interval for PFS. [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- T cell response to RNA-electroporated DCs will be assessed by flow cytometry using blood cells collected according to protocol time and events [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Positive immune response [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Feasibility [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:
Single-patient, open-label clinical study:
Events during Pre-Treatment Period:
- Resection of pancreatic cancer,
- RNA acquisition from tumor specimen,
- RNA amplification,
- Infectious disease testing,
- Autoimmune disease testing,
- Two blood draws for immune response monitoring,
- Production leukapheresis, and
- Dendritic cell electroporation with RNA and immunotherapeutic production;
Events during Induction Period:
- Administer investigative treatment every 2 weeks for a total of five doses, followed by dosing every 4 weeks for a total of four doses,
- Two Induction Period blood draws (Week 6 and Week 12) for immune response monitoring, and
- One leukapheresis (Week 14) for immune response monitoring;
Events during Booster Period:
- Dose every 3 months until progression or 2 years after first AGS treatment,
- Potentially, one leukapheresis for immune response monitoring 12 months from the first dose, and
- One blood draw 2 weeks following dosing at Week 36 (1st booster dose) (approximately Week 38); and,
Events during study Close-Out:
- Close-Out upon progression or 28 days following immune response monitoring 2 years after first dose
