Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I/II trial identifies the side effects and best dose of pevonedistat when given together with pembrolizumab in treating mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR)/high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) solid tumor that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot removed by surgery (unresectable). Pevonedistat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pevonedistat and pembrolizumab may kill more tumor cells.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine safety and phase II dose of pevonedistat in combination with pembrolizumab. (Phase I) II. To assess the efficacy of pevonedistat in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with dMMR/MSI-H cancers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess additional efficacy endpoints of the combination of pevonedistat and pembrolizumab in dMMR/MSI-H cancers. II. To assess the safety of pevonedistat and pembrolizumab in the dMMR/MSI-H patient cohort. III. To assess the pharmacodynamics impact of pevonedistat and pembrolizumab on tumor and immune-related components. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Immune context evaluation of tumor microenvironment. II. Determine clinical benefit. III. Evaluate pevonedistat pharmacokinetics and resistance mechanisms in combination therapy. OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose escalation study of pevonedistat followed by a phase II study. Patients receive pevonedistat intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5, and pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months.
