Study Summary

This is a multi-cohort single arm phase II/screening trial of the combination of a fusion protein that binds EphrinB2 and blocks interaction with cell surface EphB receptors (sEphB4-HSA) in combination with an anti-PD1 antibody (MK-7435 / Pembrolizumab) for treatment of patients with specific solid tumors. There will be four cohorts in this trial: 1. Cohort A, phase II 2nd line trial of sEphB4-HSA and pembrolizumab for platinum refractory metastatic urothelial carcinoma. 2. Cohort B, phase II 3rd line trial of sEphB4-HSA and pembrolizumab for platinum refractory metastatic urothelial carcinoma. 3. Cohort C, phase II neoadjuvant trial of sEphB4-HSA and pembrolizumab for locally advanced muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma. 4. Cohort D, phase II neoadjuvant trial of sEphB4-HSA and pembrolizumab for locally advanced prostate cancer.

Primary Outcome

All observed toxicities will be summarized in terms of type (organ affected or laboratory determination, severity, and time of onset. Tables will be created to summarize these toxicities and side effects, overall and by course. The proportion of patients who are eligible to begin the 3rd planned cycle will be calculated, using the number of eligible patients who began treatment as the denominator; 95% confidence intervals will be constructed.
