About this trial
This phase I/II trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. 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 the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Willing to provide tissue specimens per protocol, or have clinically collected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, or available sequencing data available from commercial or research tests
NOTE 1: Includes fresh tissue specimen at pre-registration, or with or clinically collected FFPE tissue blocks for complete exome and transcriptome sequencing. Patients who had tumor sequencing under certain Mayo IRB protocols and neoantigen has been identified or REAL Neo vaccine produced are allowed to proceed to pre-registration and/or registration.
NOTE 2: This criteria will not apply to patients who had sequencing and neoantigen prediction previously completed.
Measurable disease as defined by RECIST (v 1.1) criteria or non-measurable disease
Disqualifiers
Pregnant person
Nursing person unwilling to stop breast feeding
Person of childbearing potential unwilling to employ adequate contraception from registration through 6 months after final vaccine cycle
Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in judgment of investigator, would make patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with proper assessment of safety and toxicity of prescribed regimens
