-
Significant acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, disease or laboratory abnormality, which in the judgment of the investigator would place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the trial. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- A history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypersensitivity pneumonitis, cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis affecting pulmonary function, causing breathlessness at rest
- Uncontrolled ischaemic heart or other cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction, new angina, stroke transient ischaemic attack, or new congestive cardiac failure) within the last 2 months
- Stable but significant cardiovascular disease defined by heart failure (New York Heart Association Functional Classification III or IV) or frequent angina
- Presence of active infection
- Cirrhotic liver disease, known HIV, chronic active or acute hepatitis B, or hepatitis C
- History of severe allergy or hypersensitivity reactions
- Autoimmune disease requiring chronic use of immunosuppressive agents.
- Replacement therapy using physiological doses for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency is allowed.
- Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years. Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ, excluding carcinoma in situ of the bladder, that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded.
- Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, i.e. without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during study screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention
- Has myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or with features suggestive of MDS/AML.
-
Women who are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant or are lactating.
-
Women of child-bearing potential and male patients who are unwilling to adhere to the contraception requirement from informed consent until the last dose of the trial treatment and for 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
-
Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the trial medication.
-
Concomitant use of known potent CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. Restrictions relating to concomitant medications are described in section 10.9. Please consider wash-out periods.
-
Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to screening.
-
Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to pembrolizumab and/or any of its excipients
-
Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease.
-
Has received a live vaccine or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention. Administration of killed vaccines is allowed.
-
Participant received colony-stimulating factors (e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF], granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM CSF] or recombinant erythropoietin) within 28 days prior to the first dose of study intervention.
-
Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.
-
Participant has persistent toxicities (>CTCAE Grade 2) caused by previous cancer therapy, excluding alopecia.
-
Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant
-

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Objective Response Rate (ORR) Through study completion, an average of 2 years ORR assessed by (RECIST) version 1.1 and CT scanning every 9 weeks for the first 9 cycles (27 weeks), then 12 weekly
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of adverse events (Safety and toxicity) Through study completion, an average of 2 years Safety and toxicity using NCI CTCAE version 5.0
Overall survival (OS) through study completion, a maximum of 2 year OS: the time from registration to death. Patients who remain alive are censored at their last contact date for OS. Median, 1 year and 2 year OS rates will be measured.
Duration of Response (DOR) Through study completion, an average of 2 years DOR: the time (in days) from the first documentation of objective response (complete response or partial response, confirmed or unconfirmed, whichever status was recorded first, using RECIST criteria) until the first documented disease progression, or death (if before progression
Progression Free Survival (PSF) through study completion, a maximum of 2 years PFS: the time from registration to disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first, assessed by the treating investigators. Patients who remained alive without disease progression at the time of data analyses are censored at their last date of clinical follow-up for progression. Median, 1 year and 2 year PFS rates will be measured

Min score 28, maximum score 112. Higher scores equal worse outcome. (Extra 2 questions: min score 1, max score 7 each. Higher scores equals better outcomes.)
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Pancreatic Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC PAN26) Every 9 weeks during the first 27 weeks and then every 12 weeks until death or maximum of 2 years EORTC PAN26 quality of life questionnaire.
