About this trial

This is a single center Phase I study with extension of peptide alarm therapy (PAT) administered by intratumoral (IT) injection during the 1st course of a standard of care intravenous PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor cancers that has failed to be controlled after one or more prior therapies including a previous PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Must be seropositive for CMV and EBV.

Must have at least one HLA-A*0201 allele. This screening can be performed after determining CMV and EBV seropositivity is established or, if available, from the results of previous tumor profiling by any CLIA-certified lab (i.e. Caris, FoundationOne).

18 years or older at the time of signing the pre-screening consent.

ECOG Performance Status 0 or 1.

Disqualifiers

Pregnant or breast feeding.

Requires therapeutic anticoagulation for which it is deemed unsafe to discontinue anticoagulation for 5 days prior to Cycle 1 through Day 7 of Cycle 1

Class II or greater New York Heart Association Functional Classification criteria or serious cardiac arrhythmias likely to increase the risk of cardiac complications of therapy (e.g. ventricular tachycardia, frequent ventricular ectopy, or supraventricular tachyarrhythmia requiring chronic therapy)

Known active CNS metastases

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Peptide Alarm Therapy (PAT)

    Drug

    PAT is given on Day 1 by IT injection after the 1st anti PD-1/PD-L1 infusion and again 36-48 hours later on Day 3.

Treatment groups

21 Participants
are divided into 1 treatment group
Group A: Peptide Alarm Therapy + PembrolizumabExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of peptide alarm therapy (PAT)

Use CTCAE v5 criteria to count toxicities per patient including proportions and their 95% confidence intervals will be calculated

Time frame
End of Treatment (typically at day 43)

Secondary outcomes

1

Progression free survival (PFS)

Kaplan-Meier curves will be used to estimate with a 95% confidence interval.

Time frame
6 Months
