Key information

About this study

This is a Phase 1, open-label, single center, randomized study to assess the safety and tolerability of 3 different dose regimens of entinostat in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors who previously completed Study SNDX-275-0140 (NCT02897778). Up to 30 patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 fashion to one of three arms. In the event that greater than or equal to 2 out of the first 6 patients randomized experience a dose-limiting toxicity, the next patient randomized to that Arm will receive treatment at a reduced starting dose as outlined in the protocol.

Treatment and study plan

Entinostat

Drug

HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitor

Other names: SNDX-275, MS-275

Pembrolizumab

Drug

A selective humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb)

Other names: Keytruda, MK-3475, SCH-900475

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and adverse events (AEs) resulting in the permanent discontinuation of study drug, and deaths occurring within the reporting period required for the study

    Time frame: Each treatment cycle is 21 days. All events will be collected from informed consent through 90 days post-last dose or through 30 days after initiation of new anti-cancer therapy

  2. Changes from baseline in laboratory results

    Time frame: Baseline through 90 day safety follow-up visit

  3. Changes from baseline in vital signs

    Time frame: Baseline through 90 day safety follow-up visit

  4. Changes from baseline in ECG results

    Time frame: Baseline through 90 day safety follow-up visit

Secondary outcomes

  1. AUC0-t (area under the curve to last observed concentration time) of entinostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

  2. AUC0-inf (area under the curve extrapolated to infinity) of entinostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

  3. Cmax (maximum plasma concentration) of entinostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

  4. Tmax (time to maximum plasma concentration) of entinostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

  5. T1/2 (elimination half life) of entinostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

  6. Vd (clearance and volume of distribution) of entinostat when given in combination with pembrolizumab

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

Other outcomes

  1. Ratio of effector T cells to regulatory T cells in blood pre-therapy and post-therapy

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

  2. Changes in the number of circulating immune related cells

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

  3. Changes in protein lysine acetylation in peripheral blood cells pre-therapy and post-therapy

    Time frame: Pre-dose through Cycle 3 Day 1

  4. Best overall tumor response

    Time frame: Baseline up to 2 years
