Brief Summary

Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy, and the purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, pembrolizumab has on you, and your cancer.

Conditions

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Keywords

Pembrolizumab; 15-286

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Objective Response Rate (ORR)

  using RECIST v1.1 A Simon two stage minimax design will be employed to carry out this objective. In the first stage, 21 patients will be enrolled. If at least 3 out of 21 patients respond (partial response - PR or complete response - CR), we will enroll an additional 18 patients for a total of 39 patients. At the end of the study, 8 of 39 patients will need to respond to consider the therapy promising. The study will be complete when all subjects have either completed 24 months of drug therapy, progressed, or discontinued from the study for other reasons. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial.
• Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
• Have histologically- or cytologically- confirmed unresectable or metastatic ACC that is considered incurable by local therapies.
• Have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
• Have measurable disease based on RECIST v1.1
• Have provided tissue for PD-L1 biomarker analysis from either archived tissue or a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy.
• Consent for use of archived tissue for research purposes.
• Demonstrate adequate organ function, all screening labs should be performed within 28 days of treatment initiation.
• Hematological
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500 /mcL
• Platelets ≥100,000 / mcL Renal
• Serum creatinine ≤1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR Measured or calculateda creatinine clearance (GFR can also be used in place of creatinine or CrCl) ≥60 mL/min for subject with creatinine levels \> 1.5 X institutional ULN Hepatic
• Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN OR Direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 ULN
• AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 X ULN OR ≤ 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases Coagulation
• International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants

You may not qualify if:

• Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or using an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment.
• Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. The use of physiologic doses of corticosteroids for adrenal and pituitary insufficiency is not considered a form of systemic steroid therapy and would not exclude a subject from the study.
• Has had a prior monoclonal antibody within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
• Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy within 2 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent.
• °Note: Subjects with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy or ≤ Grade 2 alopecia are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study.
• If subject underwent major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.
• Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy.
• Has known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for brain metastases for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability.
• Has an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 3 months or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. Subjects with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy would be an exception to this rule. Subjects that require intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study. Subjects with hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement or Sjorgen's syndrome will not be excluded from the study. Subjects that have adrenal or pituitary insufficiency that require physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy would not be excluded from the study.
• Has evidence of interstitial lung disease or history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis.
• Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
• Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
• Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.
• Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
• Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, or anti-Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody (including ipilimumab or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways).
