Study Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ziv-aflibercept when given together with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumors that that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Ziv-afibercept works by decreasing blood and nutrient supply to the tumor, which may result in shrinking the tumor. 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. Giving ziv-aflibercept together with pembrolizumab may be a better treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors.

Primary Outcome

Will be assessed by dose-limiting toxicities. Safety will be evaluated for all treated patients using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. All adverse events recorded during the trial will be summarized and presented by dose level. For patients enrolled in the dose expansion phase of the trial, adverse events summaries will also be summarized according to disease cohort. The proportion of patients with grade-3 or higher adverse events will be
