Study Summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of the following two regimens: Cohort A) phased regimen of pembrolizumab in which paclitaxel is followed by paclitaxel plus pembrolizumab and Cohort B) concurrent regimen of paclitaxel plus pembrolizumab. The primary safety objective is to evaluate the overall grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse event rate for each cohort and compare them to relevant historical controls.

Primary Outcome

Grade 3 or 4 study treatment-related adverse events will be determined for each subject as a binary variable indicating whether or not the subject experienced at least one grade 3 or 4 study treatment-related adverse events according to the NCI Common Terminology for Adverse Events, version 4.0. An adverse event will be considered study treatment related if it is determined that the event is at least possibly related to either paclitaxel, pembrolizumab, or both.

Interventions

  • DRUG Pembrolizumab
  • DRUG Paclitaxel
