Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy, palliative resection, or thoracentesis of malignant pleural effusion) may elect to have tumor tissue procured for manufacture of Vigil™ vaccine. Patients meeting study eligibility criteria will receive doublet therapy comprising of (i) Vigil™ 1 x 10\^7 cells by intradermal injection every 2 weeks for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 doses and (ii) nivolumab 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks. Three to six weeks after tissue procurement has occurred eligibility will be reconfirmed by the study site. Subjects must begin the study regimen within 6 weeks of tissue procurement. Radiological assessment of tumor response will be performed at screening, Cycle 5 (Week 9) and approximately every 2 months thereafter until progressive disease unless the subject is lost to follow-up, withdraws consent for study related procedures, or initiates another cancer therapy. Tumor biopsy for correlative studies should be obtained at tissue procurement and at Cycle 5 (Week 9). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) for correlative studies should be obtained before tumor procurement, and prior to initiation of study therapy on Day 1 at Cycle 1 (Week 1), Cycle 5 (Week 9), Cycle 9 (Week 17) and EOT.

Vigil™ + Nivolumab
Patients meeting study eligibility criteria will receive doublet therapy comprising of (i) Vigil™ 1 x 10\^7 cells by intradermal injection every 2 weeks (for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 doses) and (ii) nivolumab 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes every 2 weeks.
Vigil™
Upon completion of nivolumab infusion, subjects will receive Vigil™, 1.0 x 10\^7cells via intradermal injection on Day 1 every 14 days for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 doses depending on quantity of Vigil™ manufactured from surgical specimens.
Nivolumab
Prior to Vigil™, subjects will receive nivolumab 3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion over 60 minutes on Day 1 every 14 days. If nivolumab is administered beyond 12 months it will be administered off study.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC.
2. Age ≥ 18 years.
3. Locally advanced or metastatic disease that is progressive after one prior platinum-based systemic chemotherapy regimen
1. Adjuvant therapy will count as a line of therapy if administered within 6 months of relapse).
2. Subjects with EGFR or ALK mutations should also have received appropriate targeted therapy.
4. No systemic therapy, immunologic therapy or investigational therapy within 3 weeks and no radiation therapy within 1 week prior to tumor procurement for vaccine manufacture.
5. Planned standard of care surgical procedure (e.g., tumor biopsy or palliative resection or thoracentesis) and expected availability of a cumulative mass of \~10-30 grams tissue ("golf-ball" size) or pleural fluid estimated volume ≥ 500mL (must be primary tap) for immunotherapy manufacture.
6. At least one area of cancer, not intended for vaccine manufacture, that is measureable by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
7. At least one tumor, not intended for vaccine manufacture, that is considered appropriate for on-treatment biopsy. The same tumor may suffice for both on-treatment biopsy and RECIST 1.1 measurement so long as imaging occurs prior to biopsy.
8. ECOG Performance Status ≤ 1
9. Estimated survival ≥ 6 months.
10. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document for tissue harvest.
1. Successful manufacturing of at least 4 vials of Vigil™.
2. ECOG Performance Status ≤ 1
3. Estimated survival ≥ 4 months.
4. Disease that is measurable by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
5. Adequate organ function as defined by the following laboratory values:
Absolute granulocyte count ≥ 1,500/mm3 Absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 500/mm3 Platelets ≥ 75,000/mm3 Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL Creatinine ≤ 1.5x institutional upper limit of normal Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x institutional upper limit of normal AST(SGOT) and ALT(SGPT) ≤2x institutional upper limit of normal or
≤5x institutional upper limit of normal if liver metastases INR / PT and aPTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN (if not using anticoagulants) Immunological Thyroid Stimulating Hormone within institutional limits
6. Subject has recovered to CTCAE Grade 1 or better from all adverse events associated with prior therapy or surgery. Pre-existing motor or sensory neurologic pathology or symptoms must be recovered to CTCAE Grade 2 or better.
7. If female of childbearing potential, has a negative urine or serum pregnancy test. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a negative serum test will be required for study entry.
8. Investigator deems the patient to have a tumor appropriate for on-treatment biopsy and patient agrees to provide tissue biopsy at Cycle 5 (Week 9) for correlative studies.
9. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed protocol specific consent.
Exclusion Criteria
1. Any localized anticancer therapy (e.g., radiation, radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy) to tumor intended for vaccine manufacture unless unequivocal evidence of post-treatment disease progression of the target tumor.
2. Medical condition requiring any form of chronic systemic immunosuppressive therapy (steroid or other) except physiologic replacement doses of hydrocortisone or equivalent (no more than 30 mg hydrocortisone or 10 mg prednisone equivalent daily for \< 30 days duration
3. Known history of other malignancy unless having undergone curative intent therapy without evidence of that disease for ≥ 3 years except cutaneous squamous cell and basal cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, in situ cervical cancer or other in situ cancers are allowed if definitively resected.
4. Brain metastases unless treated with curative intent (gamma knife or surgical resection) and without evidence of progression for ≥ 4 months.
5. Any documented history of autoimmune disease with exception of Type 1 diabetes on stable insulin regimen, hypothyroidism on stable dose of replacement thyroid medication, vitiligo, or asthma not requiring systemic steroids.
6. Known history of allergies or sensitivities to gentamicin.
7. History of or current evidence of any condition (including medical, psychiatric or substance abuse disorder), therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator.
8. Known HIV or chronic Hepatitis B or C infection.
9. History of pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease.
1. Any anti-neoplastic therapy between tissue procurement for vaccine manufacture and start of study therapy.
2. Live vaccine used for the prevention of infectious disease administered \< 30 days prior to the start of study therapy.
3. Post-surgery complication that in the opinion of the treating investigator would interfere with the patient's study participation or make it not in the best interest of the patient to participate.
