Study Summary

The investigators propose a randomized two arm trial, using Simon's 2-stage design, in ER+ patients with therapy resistant breast cancer to test the optimal sequence and dosing of epigenetic immune priming in hormone therapy resistance breast cancer. A third arm (Arm C) will include ER-negative patients who will follow the concurrent priming, but exclude tamoxifen. The two arms all include vorinostat, tamoxifen, and pembrolizumab to evaluate * Sequential priming - begin pembrolizumab in Cycle 1 (Arm B and Arm C) and, * Concurrent priming with maximal dosing of both epigenetic and immune modulators- begin pembrolizumab on day 1 in Cycle 2 (Arm A)

Primary Outcome

Objective response rate (ORR) will be defined as the proportion of participants whose status is stable disease (SD) or better (complete response (CR), partial response (PR)) at 24 weeks' follow-up as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started)

Interventions

  • DRUG Pembrolizumab
  • DRUG Tamoxifen
  • DRUG Vorinostat
