A Phase 2 Trial of Pembrolizumab Plus Bevacizumab in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With Untreated Brain Metastases
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Pembrolizumab plus Bevacizumab for Melanoma and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this phase 2 trial is to study the activity of pembrolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in patients with untreated brain metastases from melanoma or NSCLC to determine activity and safety of the drug combination. Furthermore, in patients who undergo resection of biopsy of a brain metastasis, we will evaluate biomarkers predictive of treatment benefit, and will also conduct correlative biomarker studies on extra-cerebral specimens in all patients in whom a systemic biopsy is feasible or in archival tumor tissue when available. A total of 53 eligible patients will be enrolled on this trial (40 with melanoma and 13 with NSCLC). Individual cohorts of the study can be stopped if insufficient activity is observed in the first stage of that cohort. The study will accrue for approximately 84 months, and will be open for approximately 12 additional months as patients on study are being followed.

Timeline
Interventions
Pembrolizumab will be administered on day 1 of every cycle until disease progression or withdrawal from study. Bevacizumab will be administered in addition to pembrolizumab on day 1 of cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 (or alternative cycles if bevacizumab is held during these cycles). Three weeks constitutes one cycle.
