Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is for the participant to give their own T cells (a type of blood cell in the body that can fight infections and possibly cancer) to them after they have been removed, grown in a lab, and then coated with an experimental drug. This study will determine the highest dose of EGFR2Bi coated T cells that can be given without causing severe side effects. Initially a group of 3 participants will receive the same dose of study drug. If no serious side effects occur, the next group of participants will receive a slightly higher dose of study agent. The following groups of participants will receive higher doses of the study drug until a dose is reached where there are unacceptable side effects and maximum tolerated dose is found, or the planned highest dose level is reached with no side effects.

Conditions

Colorectal Cancer; Cancer of Pancreas; Pancreatic Neoplasm; Malignant Neoplasm of Large Intestine; Malignant Tumor of Colon; Colon Carcinoma; Cancer of Colon; Pancreatic Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Determining in a dose-escalation phase Ib trial the safety of 3 infusions of EGFR2Bi aATC, and a booster infusion after 3 months, for patients with advanced colorectal or pancreatic cancer.

  Participants will be assessed for changes in lab values (CBC, Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate, glucose,BUN, creatinine, total Protein, albumin, total bilirubin, ALP, AST,ALT, CEA or CA 19-9.

  4 wks after chemo, prior to ATC infusion #2; 1 wk later prior to ATC infusion #3; Wks 2, 4 & 9 post ATC infusion #3; Wk 8 post ATC #4 (booster)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Determining whether IMT enhances anti-tumor immunity;Cytokine resp., phenotypic markers, anti-tumor cytotoxicity, in vivo and in vitro specific anti-tumor antibody prod. & molecular signaling markers of T-cell activation assessed before chemo & after IMT

  3 weeks after chemo prior to ATC infusion #1; At wks 4(ATC #2) & 5 (ATC #3) post chemo; wks 2 , 4 & 9 post ATC #3 infusion; Day of ATC #4 (booster infusion), then wks 2, 4 & 8; & mon 6 and 1yr post ATC #4 (booster infusion)

• Determining the tumor response rate

  Approximately every 8 weeks to until 1 year

• Overall Survival

  Approximately every 8 weeks to until 1 year

Study Arms (1)

FOLFOX6 & EGFRBi armed ATC Infusions

EXPERIMENTAL

FOLFOX6: IV administration of 85 mb/m(2) oxaliplatin and 400 mg/m(2) leucovorin over 120 mins, followed by 400 mg/m(2) 5-fluorouracil (FU) bolus then 2400 mg/m(2) 5-FU as a 46 hr infusion. All patients must have central intravenous acess (e.g. mediport, PICC line) for continuous infusion of 5-FU. Adv. colorectal and pancreatic pts. w/no other standard chemo available, \& in pts who cannot receive FOLFOX chemo, immunotherapy may be given w/o antecedent chemo. EGFRBi armed ATC Infusions: Armed ATC will be infused intravenously (IV) with the rate of infusion based on the endotoxin content of the product. All patients will be observed for at least 4 hours after an infusion. Armed ATC infusions will begin 3 weeks after chemotherapy and subsequent doses will be administered once weekly, for 3 weeks, then 12 weeks post aATC#1. Dose escalation level(per infusion): Level 0-5 billion; Level 1-10 billion; Level 2-20 billion; Level 3-40 billion
