Study Summary

This early phase I trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma that has spread to other places or cannot be removed by surgery. 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.

Primary Outcome

Defined as the proportion of the subjects in the analysis population who have a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Responses are based on assessments by the blinded MD Anderson radiology per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Exact method based on binomial distribution (Clopper-Pearson method).
