Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to determine if the combination of BN-Brachyury plus radiation therapy can induce objective radiographic response rate (ORR) in patients, using a Simon 2-stage optimal design. In stage 1, a minimum of threshold of activity is needed to proceed to stage 2.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

BN-Brachyury plus radiation

BN-Brachyury as both MVA and FPV are given before radiation, and followed by FPV-Brachyury

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

BN-Brachyury plus radiation

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

MVA-BN-Brachyury injections will be given on day 0 and 14. FPV-Brachyury injection will be given on day 28, followed by radiation on days 42 through approximately day 70. FPV-Brachyury will then be given two weeks after radiation then every 6-12 weeks through 110 weeks after radiation is complete.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients must have histologically confirmed chordoma
* Patients must have measurable disease by RECIST 1.1
* Patients must be scheduled to have radiation therapy to at least 1 target lesion.
* Age ≥12 years
* Patients must have normal organ and marrow function
* Must have recovered completely from any reversible toxicity associated with recent therapy.
* There should be a minimum of 2 weeks from any chemotherapy, small molecule/targeted therapy, immunotherapy and/or radiation prior to enrolment
* Females of childbearing potential and male partners of Females of childbearing potential must agree to use effective birth control or abstinence from screening to after the last vaccination therapy

* Chronic hepatitis B or C infection.
* Any significant disease, that in the opinion of the investigator may impair the patient's tolerance of trial treatment.
* Significant dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prohibit the understanding, or rendering of informed consent.
* Active autoimmune diseases requiring treatment or a history of autoimmune disease that might be stimulated by vaccine treatment. This requirement is due to the potential risks of exacerbating autoimmunity.
* Concurrent use of systemic steroids, except for physiological doses of systemic steroid replacement or local steroid use.
* Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents within 28 days before start of trial treatment.
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to MVA-BN/FPV-Brachyury or other agents used in trial. History of allergic reactions to aminoglycoside antibiotic or egg products.
* Serious or uncontrolled intercurrent illness, included but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia or psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the investigator, would limit compliance with trial requirements.
* Pregnant women are excluded from this trial due to the unknown effects of the BN-Brachyury on the fetus or infant.
* HIV-positive patients are ineligible because of the potential for decreased immune response to the vaccine.
* Significant cardiovascular disease, which includes but is not limited to New York Heart Association Heart Failure Class II or greater, myocardial infarction within the previous 3 months, unstable arrhythmias, unstable angina.
