This study is a prospective open phase-I study to investigate the safety and tolerability for administration of repeated doses of ALECSAT.
Each patient will be followed up to 24 weeks from the initial blood donation to the last visit. However, the actual treatment starts on day 26, when the first single dose of ALECSAT is administered. The following administrations are given with 3 weeks intervals, i.e. at week 7 and 10. The patients are attending Kirurgisk afdeling K, Bispebjerg Hospital, and are followed by close examinations during the study period and at regular visits after completing the study as advised by the patient's responsible physician.

The selected group of patients suffers from locally advanced pancreatic cancer and have been treated with first line treatment regimens (e.g. surgery, radiotherapy, and/or Folfirinox) and are followed at Kirurgisk afdeling K, Bispebjerg Hospital. The subjects will be recruited consecutively and included to the study if they fulfil the inclusion criteria and do not meet any of the exclusion criteria. Potential candidates will receive oral information by the Investigator subsequent to the written patient information. The potential candidate must have the opportunity to consider the given information and to further ask the Investigator questions before finally deciding to participate. When the patient decides to take part in the study he/she will be required to sign the declaration of consent.

Exclusion Criteria:
The ALECSAT CBMP will be administered as single dose at week 4, 7 and week 10 which is considered an appropriate time for ALECSAT CBMP to strengthen the immune system and thus have the ability to kill tumour cells. It is the aim that the patients will receive three doses during the study period however, if the patient wish and it is recommended by the investigator, patients may receive more than three doses, continuing until progression or as judged by the Investigator. Continued treatment after the 24 week study period is only possible under the condition that no safety issues have been discovered. The interval between injections for continued treatment will be decided based on e.g. tumour response and clinical examinations.

Safety and tolerability
Investigation of the safety and tolerability of administrating repeated doses of ALECSAT will be measured by recording the presence of adverse events/serious adverse events during the study period, and by following clinically significant changes in blood parameters, performance status and quality of life questionnaire at specific time points and compare with the individual patients status at baseline
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Efficacy; Tumor change
Assessment of any change in tumour involvement are followed by CT (according to the RECIST 11 protocol) at specific time points and will be compared with the individual patients status at baseline
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Efficacy; Lab parameters
Changes in pancreatic cancer marker CA19-9, change in Haemoglobin, Lymphocytes and their subpopulations, Leucocytes, ASAT, ALAT, Amylase, Bilirubin, Glucose, LDH, Sodium and Potassium that may show trends of clinical effect at specific time points and will be compared with the individual patients status at baseline,
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Safety & efficacy; Quality of life
Changes in the patients quality of life and performance status are measured at specific time points and will be compared with the individual patients status at baseline,
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Plan to share: No — phase 1 safety study
