Title: A Phase 1/2, Multicenter, Single Arm, Open Label, Dose Escalation Study of Birinapant in Combination with Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA™) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors
Sponsor: Medivir AB
PI: Russell Schilder, MD
Primary Objective: To determine the safety and tolerability of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of birinapant when given in combination with pembrolizumab IV; to confirm the RP2D of birinapant/pembrolizumab combination in defined solid tumor patient populations.
Treatment: During a 21 day treatment cycle, patients will receive 200 mg pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and IV birinapant on Days 1 and 8. A week without treatment (i.e., Days 15 21) will follow the second week of treatment, immediately after which the next 21-day treatment cycle will start. All doses will be administered via a 30 minute (+10 min) IV infusion. Pembrolizumab will be administered first on Day 1. The birinapant infusion will begin 30 minutes (+ 10 minutes) following the completion of the pembrolizumab infusion on Day 1. Patients will be eligible to receive study medication for up to 35 treatment cycles or until documentation of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Inter patient dose escalation of birinapant will proceed at the birinapant dose indicated in the dose escalation table, below. A minimum of 3 and up to 6 evaluable patients will be enrolled per dose level.
Dose-Escalation Schedule

5.6 mg/m2/week on Days 1 and 8
Level 2 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 + birinapant
11 mg/m2/week on Days 1 and 8
Level 3 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 + birinapant
17 mg/m2/week on Days 1 and 8
Level 4 200 mg pembrolizumab on Day 1 + birinapant
22 mg/m2/week on Days 1 and 8

NCTN Central Nervous System Trials
The “NCTN Central Nervous System Trials” Webinar will be held on Wednesday, October 25th at 3:00pm - 4:00pm EST. The study teams
will discuss the trials’ scientific importance, research questions, trial design, key logistical and operational updates, and accrual strategies. Following each presentation, attendees will be able to ask questions and receive answers directly from the study teams. We encourage you to attend this webinar and learn more about these practice changing trials! The following protocols will be discussed:
NRG-BN003: Phase III Trial of Observation Versus Irradiation for
a Gross Totally Resected Grade II Meningioma
A071401: Phase II Trial of SMO/AKT/NF2 Inhibitors in
Progressive Meningiomas with SMO/ AKT/NF2 Mutations
A071601: Phase II Trial of BRAF/MEK Inhibitors in Papillary
Craniopharyngiomas
Effective immediately NRG-HN001, Randomized Phase II and Phase III Studies of Individualized Treatment for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Based on Biomarker Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), is temporarily closed to accrual. Due to inadvertent changes made in NRG-HN001 Amendment 5 (version date May 4, 2017; broadcast date June 26, 2017) the dosimetric criteria for the optic chiasm were increased to an unacceptable level. The criteria were correct in the previous protocol version (Amendment 4; version date April 14, 2016). NRG Oncology is in the process of submitting an amended protocol to CTEP/CIRB. We will reopen the protocol and distribute the amendment to sites immediately upon CTEP/CIRB approval.
EAY131 (MATCH) Subprotocol U, is nearing the completion of its
accrual goal, and only a limited amount of available treatment assignment slots remain. Patients currently enrolled on, or assigned to, this subprotocol should be treated and followed according to the Master Protocol and Subprotocol.
