This study will be looking at whether combining cyclophosphamide, pembrolizumab (an antibody that blocks negative signals to T cells), GVAX (pancreatic cancer vaccine), and SBRT (focused radiation) is effective (anti-tumor activity) and safe in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

200 mg/m2 is to be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion one day prior to GVAX Pancreas Vaccine every 21 days for a total of 8 doses. In the extended treatment phase, eligible patients may receive 200 mg/m2 as a 30 minute IV infusion one day prior to GVAX Pancreas Vaccine every 6 months for an additional 4 doses.
2.5E8 cells of each cell line (Panc 6.03/Panc 10.05) for a total of 5E8 cells is to be administered one day after CY and pembrolizumab for a total of 8 doses. In the extended treatment phase, eligible patients may receive 2.5E8 cells of each cell line (Panc 6.03/Panc 10.05) for a total of 5E8 cells administered one day after CY every 6 months for an additional 4 doses.

Distant Metastasis Free Survival (DMFS)
DMFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to identification of distant metastases on imaging or death, whichever occurs first. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Time frame: 62 months
Number of Participants Experiencing a Grade 3 or Above Treatment Related Toxicities
When calculating the incidence of AEs, each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v4.03) will be counted only once for a given subject.
Time frame: 41 months

200 mg will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion one day prior to the GVAX pancreas vaccine every 21 days for a total of 8 doses. In the extended treatment phase, eligible patients may receive 200 mg as a 30 minute IV infusion every 21 days for an additional 9 doses.
Patients will receive SBRT (6.6 Gy for 5 days) with the second dose of combined immunotherapy (CY/Pembrolizumab/GVAX Pancreas Vaccine).
