This is a pilot, randomized, two arm neoadjuvant vaccine study in human leukocyte antigen-A2 positive (HLA-A2+) adults with World Health Organization (WHO) grade II glioma, for which surgical resection of the tumor is clinically indicated. Co-primary objectives are to determine: 1) the safety of the novel combination of subcutaneously administered IMA950 peptides and poly-ICLC (Hiltonol) and i.v. administered CDX-1127 (Varlilumab) in the neoadjuvant approach; and 2) whether addition of i.v. CDX-1127 (Varlilumab) increases the response rate and magnitude of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses against the IMA950 peptides in post-vaccine peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples obtained from participating patients.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - Patients must be >= 18 years old. - Pathological criteria - Participants must have a newly diagnosed or recurrent WHO grade II astrocytoma, oligoastrocytoma or oligodendroglioma that has been histologically confirmed by prior biopsy or surgical resection. If the pathological diagnosis ws made outside of University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the pathology must be reviewed and confirmed at UCSF. - Patients must be positive for HLA-A2 based on flow-cytometry or genotyping - Before enrollment, patients must show non-enhancing T2-FLAIR lesions lesions that are amenable to surgical resection. Surgical resection of at least 0.3 grams of tumor is expected to ensure adequate evaluation of the study endpoints - Prior radiation therapy (RT) after the initial diagnosis will be allowed but there must be at least 6 months from the completion of RT (or radiosurgery) to signed informed consent. - Prior chemotherapy and any systemic molecularly targeted anti-tumor therapy will be allowed, and there must be at least 28 days from the last temodar chemotherapy, 42 days for nitrosourea; at least 14 days from the last dose for chemotherapy regimens given continuously or on a weekly basis with limited potential for delayed toxicity. - Patients must have a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) of >= 70%. - Off or low dose (<= 4 mg/day by Decadron) corticosteroid at least two weeks before the first pre-surgical vaccine - Adequate organ function within 28 days of study registration including: 1) Adequate bone marrow reserve: absolute neutrophil (segmented and bands) count (ANC) >=1.0 x 10^9/L, absolute lymphocyte count >=4.0 x 10^8/L, platelets >=100 x 10^9/L; hemoglobin >=8 g/dL; 2) Hepatic: - Total bilirubin <= 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(SGPT)/ (alanine aminotransferase (ALT)) <=2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), and 3) Renal: Normal serum creatinine or creatinine clearance >=60 ml/min/1.73 m^2 - Must be free of systemic infection. Subjects with active infections (whether or not they require antibiotic therapy) may be eligible after complete resolution of the infection. Subjects on antibiotic therapy must be off antibiotics for at least 7 days before beginning treatment. - Sexually active females of child bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (diaphragm, birth control pills, injections, intrauterine device (IUD), surgical sterilization, subcutaneous implants, or abstinence, etc.) for the duration of the vaccination period. Sexually active males must agree to use barrier contraceptive for the duration of the vaccination period. - Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (ex. Hormonal or barrier method of birth control or abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation (until one month after the last vaccine) since the effects of the current regimen on the developing human fetus are unknown. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately - Patient must sign an informed consent document indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study, which includes an authorization for the release of their protected health information Exclusion Criteria: - Presence of gliomatosis cerebri, cranial or spinal leptomeningeal metastatic disease - Presence of T1 Gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions (on MRI) suggestive of high-grade glioma - Pathological diagnosis for the resected tumor demonstrates transformation to higher grade (i.e. WHO grade III or IV) gliomas. If a patient is diagnosed as HGG upon resection after receiving the pre-surgical treatment, the patient will be withdrawn from the study and considered for therapeutic options for HGG (trials for HGG or standard of care). The tumor tissue of such a case would be brought to the lab before the pathological diagnosis is made; and thus would be processed before the lab is informed of the final HGG diagnosis. Because HGG tissue may still reflect the vaccine effects, we will evaluate the tumor tissue to help us develop future approaches for HGG. - Pregnant women are excluded from this study because IMA950 and poly-ICLC are drugs with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with IMA950 plus poly-ICLC (IMA950-poly-ICLC hereafter) vaccine, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with IMA950- poly-ICLC vaccine - Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection (e.g. active or chronic hepatitis B and C), symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements - History or current status of immune system abnormalities such as hyperimmunity (e.g., autoimmune diseases) that needed to be treated by systemic therapy, such as immuno-suppressants and hypoimmunity (e.g., myelodysplastic disorders, marrow failures, AIDS, transplant immunosuppression). - Any isolated laboratory abnormality suggestive of a serious autoimmune disease (e.g. hypothyroidism): Antinuclear antibody, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), rheumatoid factor - Any condition that could potentially alter immune function (AIDS, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, renal failure) - Receiving ongoing treatment with immunosuppressive drugs or dexamethasone > 4mg - Use of any of the following concurrent treatment or medications: - radiation therapy - chemotherapy - interferon (e.g. Intron-A) - allergy desensitization injections - growth factors (e.g. Procrit, Aranesp, Neulasta) - Interleukins (e.g. Proleukin) - any investigational therapeutic medication - Prior cancer diagnosis except the following: - squamous cell cancer of the skin without known metastasis - basal cell cancer of the skin without known metastasis - carcinoma in situ of the breast (DCIS or LCIS) - carcinoma in situ of the cervix - Any other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that could increase the risk associated with trial participation or trial drug administration or could interfere with the interpretation of trial results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into the trial. - Participants with known addiction to any drugs |

Primary | Proportion of Participants Experiencing Regimen Limiting Toxicity (RLT) | The proportion of participants experiencing and RLT defined as an adverse event judged to be possibly, probably or definitely associated with treatment that requires participants to be taken off study and no further injections will be given will be reported. | up to 2 years | |
Primary | Mean Percentage of CD8+ T-cell Responses in Pre- and Post-vaccine Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) | The expansion of IMA950-reactive CD8+ T cell frequencies over post-vaccine periods was assessed by calculating the mean percentage of total IMA950 tetramer-positive CD8+ T cell per available post-vaccine time point. CD8+ T-cell response to the IMA950-epitope is defined to be positive when the percentage of tetramer-positive CD8+ T cells showed a four-fold or higher increase within at least one-time point in the post-vaccine phase relative to the corresponding percentage at the pre-vaccine. | Up to 2 years | |
Primary | Mean Percentage of CD4+ T-cell Responses in Pre- and Post-vaccine PBMC | The expansion of IMA950-reactive CD4+ T cell frequencies over post-vaccine periods was assessed by calculating the mean percentage of total IMA950 tetramer-positive CD4+ T cell per available post-vaccine time point. CD4+ T-cell response to the IMA950-epitope is defined to be positive when the percentage of tetramer-positive CD4+ T cells showed a four-fold or higher increase within at least one-time point in the post-vaccine phase relative to the corresponding percentage at the pre-vaccine. | Up to 2 years |
