About this trial
Single Center, open label, Phase I-II trial designed to test the safety and efficacy of the combination of Ataluren and Pembrolizumab for the treatment of metastatic mismatch repair deficient and proficient colorectal adenocarcinoma and metastatic mismatch repair deficient endometrial carcinoma.
Eligibility criteria

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of treatment-Emergent Adverse Event and the determination of the maximum tolerable dose of Ataluren.
To characterize toxicities and side effects of Ataluren when combined with pembrolizumab in patients with pMMR CRC, dMMR mCRC and dMMR EC. Recorded on Adverse Events form and ranking adverse event severity according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0

Other outcomes
Sequencing data comparison before and after treatment
mRNA and DNA sequencing measurements from normal blood, tumor, metastatic and polyp tissue: outcome measure will be mutations in DNA and RNA.
Identification of prediction biomarkers
Biomarker measurements from normal blood: CEA and neoantigens (peptides)
T-cell activation against neo-antigens
Elispot assays from PBMCs derived from patient blood samples to check for IFN-gamma production after peptide stimulation
