Brief Title
Pembrolizumab and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
Official Title
Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Combination With Platinum Chemotherapy for Platinum Resistant Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancer
Brief Summary
This phase I/II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and carboplatin work in treating
patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back
(relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with
monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the
cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in
chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells,
either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
spreading. Giving pembrolizumab and carboplatin with platinum resistant chemotherapy may work
better than platinum chemotherapy alone in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or
primary peritoneal cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the clinical response rate of platinum chemotherapy and pembrolizumab
(MK-3475) in platinum chemotherapy pretreated ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary
peritoneal.
II. To examine whether retreatment with platinum chemotherapy in platinum resistant ovarian,
fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers improves progression free survival by
concurrent administration of MK-3475.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety and tolerability of concurrent administration of MK-3475 with
platinum chemotherapy in patients with platinum resistant recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube,
and primary peritoneal cancers.
II. To determine the relationship between PD-L1 expression and response to the combination of
MK-3475 and platinum.
III. To assess the overall survival of patients treated with the combination of MK-3475 and
platinum.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To explore whether treatment with MK-3475 and platinum alters soluble factors in sera,
peripheral immune responses and immune cell profile.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 and carboplatin IV
over 30 minutes on days 8 and 15. Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 24 months in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 3 months for
1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then every 12 weeks thereafter.

dependency (within 7 days of assessment) (within 10 days of treatment initiation)
- Serum creatinine =< 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR measured or calculated
creatinine clearance (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] can also be used in place of
creatinine or creatinine clearance [CrCl]) >= 60 mL/min for subject with creatinine
levels > 1.5 X institutional ULN (within 10 days of treatment initiation)
*Creatinine clearance should be calculated per institutional standard
- Serum total bilirubin =< 1.5 X ULN OR direct bilirubin =< ULN for subjects with total
bilirubin levels > 1.5 ULN (within 10 days of treatment initiation)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) and
alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 X

initiation)
