Trial to Evaluate irAEs With Different Standard of Care Dosing Strategies of Standard of Care Immunotherapies
Sponsor: University of Kansas Medical Center
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07174453
This Phase 3/4 open-label study evaluates immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with confirmed solid tumor malignancies receiving different dosing strategies of Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab. Eligible participants are adults with ECOG PS 0-2, adequate organ function, and must consent. The trial includes any disease setting and allows standard care combination agents.

Program Overview
Phase 3/4 open label, randomized two cohort study (2 arms in each cohort).
It is hypothesized that for people with a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of malignancy, the higher dose immunotherapy (every 6 weeks Pembrolizumab 400mg dose and every 4 weeks Nivolumab 480mg dose) has more immune-related adverse events irAEs compared to lower dose (every 3 weeks Pembrolizumab 200mg dose and every 2 weeks Nivolumab 240mg dose).
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Ability of participant to understand this study, and participant willingness to sign a written informed consent.
- Males and females age ≥ 18 years
- ECOG Performance Status (PS) 0 - 2 (Appendix A.)
- Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test 72 hours prior to initiating treatment.
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of solid tumor malignancy
- Eligible to receive pembrolizumab or nivolumab based therapy
- Any disease setting (neoadjuvant, adjuvant, unresectable, metastatic) or any line of therapy is allowed. NOTE: Standard of care combination agents(chemotherapy, targeted therapy, biologics) are allowed because irAEs are the primary objective
- Adequate organ function, defined as follows:
Leukocytes (White Blood Cell [WBC]) >1.0 K/UL Absolute Neutrophil Count >1.0 K/UL Platelets > 50 K/UL Hemoglobin ≥ 7 g/dL Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤ 2.5 x ULN unless liver metastases are present, in which case they must be ≤ 5 x ULN
Exclusion Criteria
- Simultaneously enrolled in any therapeutic clinical trial
- Concurrent or planned use of other immunotherapies or radiation
- Has not recovered from irAEs due to prior immunotherapy treatment (>=grade 2 is considered not recovered). Conditions that meet grade 2 criteria but are considered clinically stable at the discretion of the investigator will be allowed.
- Diagnosed with a psychiatric illness or is in a social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Has a known allergic reaction to any excipient contained in the study drug formulation
- Active Grade 3 (per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5.0 ) or higher viral, bacterial, or fungal infection within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
