NCT02644369
Brief Summary:
This is a phase 2 study whose main purpose is to evaluate gene changes and immune biomarkers in patients with solid tumors during treatment with pembrolizumab and in relation to response to treatment.
Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that is designed to block a protein called programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) which will allow the body's immune system to kill the cancer cells.
Detailed Description:
This study will involve treatment with pembrolizumab, tests and procedures done for safety, and the collection of archival tumor tissue, fresh tumor biopsies, and blood samples for biomarker research (including genetic testing).
