Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Cell cycle-related signature
Up to 6 years
Expansion of T cell receptor (TCR) clones
Up to 6 years

Two-sample T-test with Bonferroni adjustment will be used to compare the increase number of expanded TCR clones after dendritic cell (DC) vaccination with PD-1 blockade in Group A versus (vs) DC vaccination with a placebo in Group B.

Incidence of adverse events (AEs)
Up to 30 days post treatment

Adverse events will be graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. All patients who receive any amount of pembrolizumab/placebo or ATL-DC vaccination will be evaluable for toxicity, serious adverse events (SAEs), and events of clinical interest (ECIs).

Secondary Endpoints
6 month progression-free survival (PFS6)
At 6 months
Overall survival (OS)
Up to 6 years

Group A (pembrolizumab, ATL-DC, poly ICLC)EXPERIMENTALBeginning 14 days prior to scheduled surgery, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes. After surgery, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Cycle repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive ATL-DC ID with poly ICLC IM every 2 weeks for up to 3 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group B (placebo, ATL-DC, poly ICLC)ACTIVE_COMPARATORBeginning 14 days prior to scheduled surgery, patients receive placebo IV. After surgery, patients receive placebo IV on day 1. Cycle repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive ATL-DC ID with poly ICLC IM every 2 weeks for up to 3 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
