About this trial

This phase I/II trial tests the safety and tolerability of an experimental personalized vaccine when given by itself and with pembrolizumab in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The experimental vaccine is designed target certain proteins (neoantigens) on individuals' tumor cells. 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. Giving the personalized neoantigen peptide-based vaccine with pembrolizumab may be safe and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Willing to provide tissue specimens per protocol

NOTE: includes fresh tissue specimen at pre-registration for complete exome and transcriptome sequencing. Patients who had tumor sequencing under certain Mayo Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols and neoantigen has been identified or REAL Neo vaccine produced are allowed to proceed to pre-registration and/or registration.

Measurable disease as defined by RECIST (version 1.1) criteria or non-measurable disease

NOTE: Tumor lesions in previously irradiated area are not considered measurable disease

Disqualifiers

Pregnant person

Nursing person unwilling to stop breast feeding

Person of childbearing potential unwilling to employ adequate contraception from registration through 6 months after final vaccine cycle

Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in judgment of investigator, would make patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with proper assessment of safety and toxicity of prescribed regimens
