Summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy in women with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/ for the trial.
  • Be at least 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
  • Have histologically confirmed diagnosis of recurrent epithelial ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube carcinoma that has progressed within 6 months of prior cytotoxic chemotherapy. Histologic confirmation of the primary tumor by review of the pathology report is required. Patients must have had at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen. Initial treatment may have been administered as an intraperitoneal, intravenous or dose-dense regimen. Progression within 6 months of a non-platinum containing regimen is eligible if the patient is considered platinum-resistant to the last platinum-containing regimen. Patients who have received prior cisplatin and gemcitabine treatment are eligible to participate.
  • Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1
  • Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Scale.
  • Demonstrate adequate organ function, all screening labs should be performed within 28 days of treatment initiation.
  • Female subject of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. Patients who have had prior hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy are not required to have a pregnancy test.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential should be willing to use 2 methods of birth control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication. Subjects of childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not been free from menses for > 1 year.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Is currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment.
  • Has diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment.
  • Has a known history of active TB (Bacillus Tuberculosis)
  • Hypersensitivity to pembrolizumab or any of its excipients. Has had a prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
  • Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent.

Note: Subjects with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study.

Note: If subject received major surgery including (curative or palliative surgery), they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.

Note: Patients who have hypertension as an adverse event related to prior angiogenesis targeted therapy may be allowed if ≤ Grade 2 and considered by investigator to be well-controlled on anti-hypertensive agents.

  • Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer.
  • Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of tria
