Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Experimental
CRS-207 and pembrolizumab will be administered in 3-week cycles. For Cycle 1, pembrolizumab (200 mg) will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1 and CRS-207 (starting dose 1 × 10e9 colony-forming units [CFU]) will be administered by IV infusion over 1 hour on Day 2. If the infusions are well tolerated, pembrolizumab and CRS-207 may be administered on the same day (Day 1) for subsequent cycles. After 4 cycles, pembrolizumab will continue to be administered on Day 1 at each treatment cycle (every 3 weeks); CRS-207 will be administered once every 6 weeks (every other cycle). Treatment will continue for up to 35 cycles as long as there is adequate safety and potential for clinical benefit.
Biological: CRS-207
Administered by IV infusion over approximately 1 hour.
Biological: Pembrolizumab
Administered by IV infusion over approximately 30 minutes.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: BOR was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 15 weeks.
ORR was evaluated based upon the best overall response (BOR) for individual study subjects. BOR was determined by the highest post-baseline qualitative response value for each assessed subject as measured by modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (modified RECIST) for MPM (Byrne and Nowak, 2004) and given the following hierarchy of overall response results: complete response (CR) > partial response (PR) > stable disease (SD) > progressive disease (PD) > not evaluable (NE). The protocol-specified ORR was defined as the percentage of evaluable subjects with a BOR of CR or PR; however, this percentage was not calculated per the final study Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). Therefore, the number of evaluable subjects with BOR RECIST v1.1 values of CR, PR, SD, PD, and NE are provided for this outcome measure.
BOR was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 15 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame: BOR was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 15 weeks.
The percentage of evaluable subjects who exhibited a post-baseline tumor assessment BOR rating of CR, PR, or SD per modified RECIST for MPM.
BOR was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 15 weeks.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Subjects followed for disease progression from first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 9 weeks.
Number of weeks from the date of first dose of study treatment to the first date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) (per modified RECIST for MPM) or death from any cause, estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subjects who do not experience PD and are alive on or before the data cut-off date will be censored at the time of last tumor assessment or data cut-off date, whichever is earlier.
Subjects followed for disease progression from first dose of study treatment until documented disease progression, initiation of new cancer treatment, death, or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 9 weeks.
Improvement in Pulmonary Function
Time Frame: Subjects tested by spirometry at Screening and up to 7 days prior to dosing every other cycle starting at Cycle 3 until 4 weeks post final dose, assessed up to 16 weeks.
Percentage of subjects with improvement in forced vital capacity (FVC), defined as an increase from baseline of either ≥400 mL or ≥20% assessed using spirometry
Subjects tested by spirometry at Screening and up to 7 days prior to dosing every other cycle starting at Cycle 3 until 4 weeks post final dose, assessed up to 16 weeks.
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: OS was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until death or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 25 weeks.
Number of weeks from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of death from any cause, estimated using KM methods with 95% CIs for subjects in the SAF. Subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis were censored as of the date the subject was last known to be alive, or the data cut-off date, whichever is earlier.
OS was assessed from the first dose of study treatment until death or study termination, whichever is earlier, assessed up to 25 weeks.
