Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and tamoxifen with or without vorinostat work for the treatment of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. 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. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy with tamoxifen may may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This trial is being done to find a drug combination to better control estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and reduce the number of pills taken.

Primary Outcome

ORR is defined as the proportion of participants randomized to that arm whose status is stable disease (SD) or better (complete response (CR), partial response (PR)). Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions: CR=Disappearance of all target lesions; PR = \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and SD=Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease,.
