Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Vigil™ Vaccine

Arm Description

Patients will receive 1.0 x 10e7 cells via intradermal injection one day each cycle for a maximum of 12 doses as long as sufficient material is available and subject is clinically stable. Additionally, patients will receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg intravenously (prior to Vigil™ administration) every 2 weeks (4 weeks=1 cycle).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Time to Progression
Time to progression (TTP) following bevacizumab integrated with Vigil vaccine in patients failing standard of care in study CL-PTL 105 or in those not otherwise qualifying after vaccine production. This will be measured from the treatment start date (date of first dose) to either the date the patient is first recorded as having disease recurrence (even if the patient went off treatment because of toxicity), or the date of death if the patient dies due to any causes before progression.
Response Rate
Response will be evaluated using the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Alive Subjects
Survival status of patients after treatment was determined by following these patients up to 24 months.
Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Spot (ELISPOT)
To determine if subjects will have a positive (defined as >10 ELISPOTS from baseline) immune response to Vigil. Blood was collected to compare ELISPOT results from baseline until 30 days after last dose.
