Testing the Addition of an Experimental Medication MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) to Usual Anti-Retroviral Medications in Patients With HIV and Cancer

Phase I Study of MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) in Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Relapsed/Refractory or Disseminated Malignant Neoplasm

This phase I trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and malignant neoplasms that have come back (relapsed), do not respond to treatment (refractory), or have distributed over a large area in the body (disseminated). 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.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the safety and tolerability of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) in HIV-infected patients on effective antiretroviral therapy and with relapsed/refractory or disseminated acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining or non-AIDS defining malignancy.

II. To assess the safety and feasibility of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) administration as first systemic therapy for HIV associated Kaposi sarcoma in patients on effective antiretroviral therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To obtain preliminary insights into clinical benefit (e.g., tumor shrinkage or stabilization >= 24 weeks) across a variety of tumors in patients infected with HIV and on effective antiretroviral therapy.

II. To evaluate the response rate in Kaposi sarcoma impacting physical and/or psychological wellbeing and not amenable to local therapy.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the correlation of pre-therapy tumor PD-L1 expression and T-cell infiltration on clinical benefit.

II. To assess the effect of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) on circulating HIV and the HIV viral reservoir in patients on effective combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART), as measured by plasma HIV single copy ribonucleic acid (RNA), CD4+ T-cell associated HIV unspliced RNA, CD4+ T-cell associated integrated HIV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) provirus, ratio of HIV unspliced RNA/DNA, "Tat/Rev induced limiting dilution assay" (TILDA), and phylogenetic analysis of HIV-1 molecular evolution.

III. To evaluate the effect of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) on host gene expression in circulating blood cells.

IV. To evaluate the effect of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) on circulating HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell cytotoxicity against autologous HIV infected CD4+ T-cells in patients on effective antiretroviral therapy.

V. To evaluate the effect of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) on circulating lymphocyte and monocyte numbers and phenotypes.

VI. To assess biopsied tumors from participants that progress by immunohistochemistry arrays and gene expression analysis to evaluate potential reasons for the lack of response to MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) or progression such as a lack of T cells within or around tumor.

VII. To evaluate the effect of pembrolizumab on human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV) viral load in the blood, KSHV seroreactivity and KSHV specific CD8+ T-cell activity.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Patients continue receiving their recommended combination antiretroviral therapy orally (PO) once daily (QD). Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 2 years or 35 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and blood sample collection throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo biopsies during screening and on study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up 30 days and then every 12 weeks up to 1 year.

  • Note: patients that have actionable molecular targets (e.g., epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR], anaplastic lymphoma kinase [ALK], c-ros oncogene 1[ROS1] mutations) must have received (when indicated) prior appropriate targeted therapy using Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved agents

• AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other non-Hodgkin lymphoma

  • Failed standard first-line therapy; and
  • Failed autologous stem cell transplant if indicated for histology (i.e diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) or autologous stem cell transplant is not feasible

• Classical Hodgkin lymphoma

  • Relapsed or refractory de novo classical Hodgkin lymphoma having failed standard first-line therapy; and

• On an effective combination cART regimen, generally a 3-drug regimen based on Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) treatment guidelines

  • Patients must be on cART >= 4 weeks; and
  • Evidence of viral suppression defined as HIV viral load < 200 copies/mL; and
  • No symptomatic AEs > grade 1 by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria probably or definitely attributed to cART; and

  • Most patients have viral loads that are suppressible to < 50 copies/mL, but about 25% of patients will occasionally have blips up to 400-500 copies/mL, which do not appear to correlate with lack of viral suppression in most studies; thus, an HIV viral load of =< 400 copies/mL for an occasional "blip" will be allowed, if there is documentation of an HIV viral load < 200 on the same regimen and no significant treatment interruption
• CD4+ T-cell count >= 50 cells/uL

• At least 4 weeks from end of monoclonal antibody therapy
• At least 2 weeks from end of targeted therapy

• Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy within 72 hours before receiving the first dose of study medication; if the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required

  • Note: the effects of MK-3475 on the developing human fetus are unknown; for this reason and because anti-PD-1 agents may be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential must agree to use 2 methods of birth control, or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity beginning with the screening visit and for the duration of study participation, through 120 days beyond last dose of MK-3475 administration; patients of childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not been free from menses for > 1 year

• Baseline tumor tissue, either fresh (preferred) or from paraffin block/unstained slides if contemporary biopsy is unsafe or not otherwise obtainable from the primary tumor site or metastatic site to be available for use on correlative studies

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Incidence of immune-related events of clinical interest (ECIs)	This includes the occurrence of grade 2 or higher AEs. Will be graded using CTCAE version 4.0 (version 5.0 beginning April 1, 2018). Any AE of unknown etiology associated with study therapy will be evaluated to determine if it is possibly an ECI of a potentially immunologic etiology or related to combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). All summaries will be presented for each cohort and overall. If the numbers are sufficient, the results may additionally be stratified by tumor type.	Up to 90 days after the last dose of trial treatment
Incidence of cART-related ECIs of grade 2 or higher AEs	Will be graded using CTCAE version 4.0 (version 5.0 beginning April 1, 2018). Any AE of unknown etiology associated with study therapy will be evaluated to determine if it is possibly an ECI of a potentially immunologic etiology or related to cART. All summaries will be presented for each cohort and overall. If the numbers are sufficient, the results may additionally be stratified by tumor type.	Up to 90 days after the last dose of trial treatment
Frequency of observed adverse events (AEs)	Will be graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 (version 5.0 beginning April 1, 2018). Safety and tolerability will be assessed by summarizing all relevant parameters including AEs, serious AEs, laboratory tests, vital signs, and electrocardiogram measurements. All summaries will be presented for each cohort and overall. If the numbers are sufficient, the results may additionally be stratified by tumor type.	Up to 90 days after the last dose of trial treatment
