Number of Patients Experiencing a Grade 3 or Above Treatment- Related Toxicity Primary · 14 years

When calculating the incidences of adverse events, each adverse event (as defined by NCI CTCAE v3) will be counted only once for a given subject.

GVAX Pancreas Vaccine Naive5
Overall Survival (OS) Secondary · 16 years

OS will be measured from date of first dose until death or end of follow-up (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.

GroupValue95% CI
Previously Vaccinated With GVAX Pancreas Vaccine80.522.5 – 187.8
GVAX Pancreas Vaccine Naive30.719.3 – 40.7
Disease-free Survival (DFS) Secondary · 16 years

DFS is defined as the time from the first dose until evidence of disease recurrence or progression confirmed by first scan. DFS will be censored at the date of the last scan for subjects without documentation of disease recurrence or progression at the time of analysis. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
