Summary
This research study is studying an investigational combination of drugs as a possible treatment for advanced solid tumors: melanoma, ovarian, renal, or colorectal cancer.
The drugs involved in this study are:
* Pembrolizumab
* AMG386
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial.
- Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
- Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.
- In dose escalation (Phase I), patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic disease from any solid tumor that is incurable and fulfills one of the following criteria:
- Has demonstrated progression of disease following at least one line of effective systemic therapy. Prior treatment with anti-CTLA-4 antibody (including ipilimumab) is allowable OR
- For which effective therapy does not exist
- In dose expansion (part 2), patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, or colorectal cancer.
- Renal cell patients must have had at least one prior VEGF TKI.
- Ovarian cancer patients must be resistant to platinum therapy (i.e. within 6 months of last platinum therapy).
- Patients with colorectal cancer should have progressed on at least one fluorouracil plus irinotecan or oxaliplatin containing regimen.
- Patients with melanoma should have unresectable or metastatic disease. Melanoma patients with BRAF V600E or V600K mutation-positive melanoma who have previously received a BRAF inhibitor with or without a MEK inhibitor) are eligible.
- In the dose expansion cohort patients should be willing to provide tissue from a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion (pre-treatment) and post-treatment biopsy. Newly-obtained is defined as a specimen obtained up to 6 weeks (42 days) prior to initiation of treatment on Day 1. Patients for whom newly-obtained samples cannot be provided (e.g., inaccessible, subject safety concern, or unwilling to undergo biopsy) may submit an archived specimen only upon agreement from the Sponsor. An on-treatment biopsy will be collected approximately halfway through the induction period, about 6 weeks from the start of study treatment (sometime between Cycle 2 Day 8 - Cycle 3 Day 1).
- Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the ECOG Performance Scale (see Appendix A) up to 28 days before treatment initiation
- Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in Table 1, all screening labs should be performed up to 28 days before treatment initiation.
- System Laboratory Value
- Hematological
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500 /mcL
- Platelets ≥100,000 / mcL
- Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL or ≥5.6 mmol/L without transfusion or EPO dependency (within 7 days of assessment)
- Renal
--Serum creatinine OR Measured or ≤1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR calculateda creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min for subject with creatinine levels (GFR can also be used in place of > 1.5 X institutional ULN creatinine or CrCl)
- Hepatic
- Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN OR Direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels > 1.5 ULN AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X ULN OR ≤ 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases
- Albumin >2.5 mg/dL
- Coagulation
- International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving therapy as or Prothrombin Time (PT) long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
- Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time ≤1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving (aPTT) anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
- Creatinine clearance should be calculated per institutional standard.
- Negative protein on screening urinalysis
- Female subject of childbearing potential should have a negative serum pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential (Section 5.11.2) must be willing to use an adequate method of contraception as outlined in Section 5.11.2 - Contraception, for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pre
