Subjects with tumors specified below, who are at high risk of relapse, have been treated with curative intent, and have no evidence of disease (NED) following front-line therapy with surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy. NED includes, where applicable, surgical (macroscopic tumor margin, at the time of surgery), and radiological evidence of disease. Residual lesions identified by microscopic/frozen margins and biochemical markers are permitted. Therapy must have been completed no fewer than four weeks, and no later than 25 weeks, before the first dose of Ad5.F35-hGCC-PADRE

For tumor-specific criteria, please refer to the information below:

* Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

** Stage I, II, III

Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas are not permitted

* Colorectal adenocarcinoma

Stage III; stage IV following metastasectomy

* Gastric adenocarcinoma

Stage IIA, IIB, III

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the stomach are not permitted

* Esophageal adenocarcinoma

** Stage IIB, III

Esophageal squamous cell carcinomas are not permitted
Have an anticipated life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1000 cells/mL
Platelets >= 75,000 /mL
Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL
Serum creatinine < 2.0 mg/dL
For other blood and urine tests including blood chemistry, hepatic and renal functions, test results should not be worse than grade 1 levels of abnormalities defined by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), National Cancer Institute (NCI) version 5 issued by the United States (US) Department of Health and Human Services
For women and men of childbearing potential, a medically acceptable method of highly effective contraception (oral hormonal contraceptive, condom plus spermicide, or hormonal implants) or abstinence must be used throughout the study period and for 28 days after their final vaccine administration (a barrier method of contraception must be employed by all subjects [male and female], regardless of other methods unless abstinent). A negative serum or urine pregnancy test is required as part of screening. Women of childbearing potential is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, women under the age of 55 must have a documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level less than 40 mIU/ml

All subjects must be able to comprehend and sign a written informed consent document
