Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects must have a histologic diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma
• Subjects must have radiologic evidence of metastatic disease with measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria other than the target lesion(s) for SBRT
• Subjects must have at least 1 metastatic lesion previously not radiated that is amenable to SBRT per treating radiation oncologist.
• Subjects must have had progression of disease within 12 months of platinum-containing chemotherapy (chemotherapy could have been given in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting) for urothelial cancer
• ECOG performance status of 0 to 2 (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status: an attempt to quantify cancer patients' general well-being and activities of daily life. The score ranges from 0 to 5 where 0 is asymptomatic and 5 is death.)
• Absolute neutrophil count of ≥ 1000/mm3, platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3, hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dl; total bilirubin/ALT/AST < 2.5 x upper limit of normal (patients with known gilbert disease who have serum bilirubin ≤3x ULN may be enrolled); serum creatinine <3.0mg/dl or if elevated, a calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2
• Subjects must have recovered to baseline or ≤ grade 1 CTCAE v 4.03 from toxicities related to any prior treatments unless AE(s) are clinically non-significant and/or stable on supportive therapy
• Subjects must be ≥ 2 weeks from most recent systemic therapy or most recent radiation therapy
• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 28 days prior to registration.
• Age ≥ 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 is NOT allowed. Prior intravesical BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) therapy is allowed
• Treatment with any investigational agent or on an interventional clinical trial within 30 days prior to registration.
• No prior or concurrent malignancy is allowed except for: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, localized or locally advanced prostate cancer definitively treated without recurrence or with biochemical recurrence only, or any other cancer fully treated or from which the subject has been disease-free for at least 2 years.
• Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis are NOT allowed. Vitiligo, mild psoriasis (topical therapy only) or hypothyroidism are allowed
• Need for systemic corticosteroids >10mg prednisone daily or equivalent alternative steroid
• Any history of organ allografts
• Any history of HIV or hepatitis B infection
• Known brain metastases

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Pembrolizumab + SBRT	Drug: Pembrolizumab; 200 mg IV q 21 days; Radiation: SBRT; Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) that will commence not later than the initiation of the second cycle of pembrolizumab. SBRT dose and fractionation will be at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist, and will be selected to respect the normal tissue tolerance of adjacent organs at risk.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Percentage of Subjects Who Receive 4 Doses of Pembrolizumab and at Least One Session of Treatment of SBRT	Feasibility will be determined by the percentage of subjects who receive 4 doses of pembrolizumab and at least one session of treatment of SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) within 15 weeks from the first dose of pembrolizumab.	15 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Number of Grades 3-5 Drug Related Adverse Events (AEs)	The number of grades 3-5 drug related adverse events (AEs) will be recorded. AEs will be graded using the CTCAE v4.03	30 days post last dose
The Percentage of Patients That Respond to Treatment	The percentage of patients that achieve either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Response will be reported separately using RECIST and irRECIST criteria. CR (RECIST): Disappearance of all target lesions, determined by two separate observations conducted not less than 4 weeks apart. There can be no appearance of new lesions CR (irRECIST): Disappearance of all lesions in two consecutive observations not less than 4 wk apart PR (RECIST): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. There can be no appearance of new lesions PR (irRECIST): ≥50% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline in two observations at least 4 wk apart	51 weeks (up to 17, 3 week doses)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time	Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progressive disease (PD), or death, whichever occurs first, up to 24 months. PD (RECIST): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started, or the appearance of one or more new lesions PD (irRECIST): At least 25% increase in tumor burden compared with nadir (at any single time point) in two consecutive observations at least 4 wk apart	24 months
