Clinical trial
A Phase I/II Study of MK-3475 With Gemcitabine in Patients With Previously-Treated Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Name
15-011A
Description
This is a study for patients with previously-treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will evaluate the safety of adding an investigational drug, MK-3475 to standard treatment with gemcitabine. The study will also try to identify the best dose of MK-3475 to give in combination with gemcitabine.

Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Women or men with advanced, histologically proven NSCLC.
* Patients must have received at least one but no more than three prior systemic therapies for advanced disease.
* Any toxicity related to prior therapies that, in the opinion of the investigator, would potentially be worsened with anti-PD1 therapy or gemcitabine should be resolved to less than Grade 1.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.
* Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
* Ability to give informed consent and comply with the protocol.
* Anticipated survival minimum 3 months.
* Prior therapy with investigational agents must have been completed at least 3 weeks prior to study enrollment.
* Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as seen on protocol-defined blood test results
* Archived tumor tissue (minimum of 8 slides for paraffin-embedded tumor tissue) available
* Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
* Treated brain metastases will be allowed, provided they are asymptomatic.
* Radiation for symptomatic lesions outside the Central nervous system (CNS) must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to study enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Prior therapy with any anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA4 antibody.
* Prior therapy with gemcitabine.
* Prior complications from radiation, such as history of radiation pneumonitis or pulmonary edema that, in the opinion of the investigator, may have risk of increasing toxicity with anti-PD1 therapy.
* Active autoimmune disease except vitiligo or stable hypothyroidism.
* Active and ongoing steroid use, except for non-systemically absorbed treatments (such as inhaled or topical steroid therapy for asthma, cardiopulmonary disease (COPD), allergic rhinitis).
* Active other malignancy, except for controlled basal cell skin carcinoma.
* HIV positive and/or Hepatitis B or C positive.
* Other medical or psychiatric conditions that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator would preclude safe participation in this protocol.
