Study Summary

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of abexinostat and how well it works with given together with pembrolizumab in treating participants with microsatellite instability (MSI) solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Abexinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving abexinostat and pembrolizumab may work better in treating participants with solid tumors.

Primary Outcome

Starting at dose level 1, if 2/3 patients have a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), the dose will be de-escalated to dose -1. If 0/3 patients experience a DLT, 3 patients will be treated at the next dose level. If DLT attributable to the treatment is experienced in 1/3 patients, three more patients (for a total of six patients) will be treated at that dose level. If no additional DLTs are observed at the expanded dose level (i.e. 1/6 with DLT), the dose will be escalated. Escalation will terminate as
