- Brief Summary
The Phase Ib and II cohorts will enroll patients with metistatic solid tumors.
Phase II only will enroll the following patients:
Patients with metastatic sarcoma to be enrolled in the following 4 arms: pembro plus gemcitabine, pembro plus gemcitabine and docetaxel, pembro plus gemcitabine and vinorelbine, and pembro plus liposomal doxorubicin.
Patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma to be enrolled in the pembro plus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel arm.
Patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer to be enrolled in the pembro plus irinotecan arm.
Patients with ER+ breast cancer to be enrolled in the pembro and vinorelbine arm.
Patients with ovarian cancer to be enrolled in the pembroplus liposomal doxorubicin arm.
Patients with metastatic TNBC (ER/PR/HER2 negative) to be enrolled in the pembro plus gemcitabine arm.
- Detailed Description
Pembrolizumab 2mg/kg administered intravenously over 30 minutes every 3 weeks.

-
Patient at least 18 years old and has definitive histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic solid tumor 2. Patient has one or more metastatic tumors measurable by CT scan (or PET/CT, if patient is allergic to CT contrast media) 3. The investigator will select the appropriate treatment arm for the patient with the following requirements: (a) Patients cannot have had prior progression or intolerance on the single agent chemotherapy and then enrolled on an arm with that same single agent chemotherapy plus pembro (b) The chemotherapy on the arm selected must be considered standard of care or listed in the NCCN guidelines (www.nccn.org) for that cancer type 4. 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 5. Patient has adequate biological parameters as demonstrated by the following blood counts at time of screening: 6. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1500 mm3, platelet count ≥ 100×109 L, hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL 7. Serum creatinine ≤2.0, total bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dL, AST/ALT ≤ 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) range (except: for the nab-paclitaxel containing arm, bilirubin ≤ 1.25 times the ULN and for the docetaxel containing arm, bilirubin must be within institutional normal limits and AST/ALT ≤ 1.5 times the ULN) 8. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) within institutional normal limits. If TSH is above the upper limit of normal range, then a free T4 within institutional normal limits is acceptable 9. Persistent prior systemic therapy non-hematologic AE grade ≥ 2 (except alopecia or correctable electrolyte abnormality with supplementation) 10. Patient has a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥ 70 11. Women of child-bearing potential (i.e., women who are pre-menopausal or not surgically sterile) must be willing to use an acceptable contraceptive method (abstinence, oral contraceptive or double barrier method) for the duration of the study and for 4 months following the last dose of pembrolizumab and 30 days following the last dose of chemotherapy on this trial, and must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to beginning treatment on this trial Phase II only
