PembroMab: Pembrolizumab and Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Advanced Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
There will be two phase II cohorts for pembro plus trastuzumab: one cohort will be for patients with unresectable HER2 overexpressing gastric or GEJ cancers, the other cohort will be for patients with HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The pembro plus ado-trastuzumab emtansine phase II arm will be for patients with HER2 overexpressing MBC. There will be two phase II cohorts for pembro plus cetuximab: one cohort will be for patients with HNSCC, the other cohort will be for patients with K-ras, B-raf, N-ras wildtype metastatic CRC.

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Pembrolizumab 2mg/kg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every 3 weeks. Pembrolizumab will be infused prior to the start of the assigned monoclonal antibody (Mab) arm. .
Dosing for the Mab arms will begin as follows:
Arm 1: Cycle length is 21 days. Intravenous (i.v.) trastuzumab 6 mg/kg on day 1 every 21 days.
Arm 2: Cycle length is 21 days. i.v. ado-trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 mg/kg on day 1 every 21 days.
Arm 3: Cycle length is 21 days. i.v. cetuximab 400 mg/m2 on cycle 1 day 1, then i.v. cetuximab 250 mg/m2 on day 8. Each subsequent cycle will be i.v. cetuximab 250 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 every 21 days.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patient has definitive histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic solid tumor.
-
Patient has one or more tumor measurable as defined by RECIST 1.1 by CT scan (or PET/CT, if patient is allergic to CT contrast media).
-
Patients can be enrolled only on one of the treatment arms on this trial.
-
The investigator will select the appropriate treatment arm for the patient with the following requirements: (a) Patients cannot have had prior progression or intolerance to a specific Mab and then enrolled on an arm with that same Mab plus pembro, (b) The Mab on the arm selected must be considered standard of care or listed in the NCCN guidelines (www.nccn.org) for that cancer type. For Arm 1, patients with HER2 overexpressing MBC eligible for maintenance trastuzumab are allowed after taxane plus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab combination therapy.
-
Have recovered from acute toxicities of prior treatment:
-
3 weeks must have elapsed since receiving any investigational agent.
-
2 weeks must have elapsed since receiving any radiotherapy, or ≥ 3 weeks or 5 half-lives whichever is shorter for treatment with cytotoxic or biologic agents ( ≥ 6 weeks for mitomycin or nitrosoureas). Chronic treatment with non-investigational gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs or other hormonal or supportive care is permitted.
