Advanced Solid Cancers

Brief summary

This is a phase 1b, open label trial of ADI-PEG 20 (36 mg/m2) weekly in combination with pembrolizumab (1 and 2 mg/kg or 200 mg) every three weeks. Assessment of safety and tolerability of drug combination

Detailed description

This is an open-label, phase 1b trial of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced cancers. Dose escalation will occur using a 3 + 3 + 3 design. The first subject in a dose escalation cohort must have had treatment with ADI-PEG 20 + pembrolizumab with a week of follow up) before the next 2 subjects are enrolled. Thus subjects 2 and 3 may be enrolled on day 8 if there is no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in subject 1. No additional delay is required between treating subjects 4 to 6 or 7 to 9 in an expanded cohort. Before proceeding to the next cohort dose level, the first 3 eligible subjects in each cohort will have received at least 21 days of treatment (i.e. at least 2 of the expected 3 doses of ADI-PEG 20 + one dose of pembrolizumab).

Interventions

ADI is a recombinant protein cloned from M. hominis and produced in E. coli, and conjugated with PEG of 20,000 mw. Thus ADI-PEG 20 is an arginine degrading enzyme, ADI, coupled to PEG.

DRUGPembrolizumab

Pembrolizumab is a PD-1 blocking antibody indicated in the USA for the treatment.

Prior failure of a systemic treatment approved by the health authority in the country where the study will be enrolling. Such subjects may also have been treated with radiotherapy, local therapy or surgery. 3. Measurable disease using RECIST 1.1 criteria. 4. Age ≥ 18 years. Select

Exclusion criteria

1. Subjects with history of another primary cancer, including co-existent second malignancy, with the exception of: a) curatively resected non-melanoma skin cancer; b) curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ; or c) other primary solid tumor with no known active disease present or in the opinion of the investigator will not affect patient outcome. 2.
