This trial is run from multiple sites including <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/florida">Florida</a> <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/cancer">Cancer</a> Specialists in Fort Myers, Florida and SCRI Florida Cancer Specialists East in West Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/new-jersey">New jersey</a>.

Q: Is there still an opportunity to join this medical experiment?

Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov provides evidence that this trial, which first appeared on October 27th 2021, is actively enrolling new candidates. A total of 108 participants need to be recruited from 8 different health institutions.

Q: Have there been additional research initiatives regarding Pembrolizumab?

Pembrolizumab was initially trialled at City of Hope in 2010 and has since undergone 252 completed studies. There are currently 961 active investigations, many of which are taking place in Fort Myers, <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/florida">Florida</a>.

Q: How many health centers are participating in this research initiative?

At present, this medical venture is running out of 8 sites situated in Fort Myers, West Palm Beach and New Brunswick - as well as 5 other areas. It might be advantageous to pick a nearby site if you decide to join the trial; it'll reduce your travel needs.

Q: To which conditions is Pembrolizumab frequently employed?

Pembrolizumab is a viable treatment option for malignant neoplasms, unresectable <a href="https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/melanoma">melanoma</a>, and cancers with high microsatellite instability.

Study Summary

This trial is studying a combination of E7386 and pembrolizumab to see how well it works in treating patients with solid tumors that have been previously treated.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with certain advanced solid tumors (melanoma, colorectal cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma) that have progressed despite previous treatments. Participants must be in good physical condition and have at least one measurable tumor. Specific criteria apply to each type of cancer regarding prior therapies and disease stage.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests E7386 combined with pembrolizumab for safety, tolerability, and the optimal dose in Phase 1b. In Phase 2, it evaluates how well this combination works on melanoma, colorectal cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma; plus lenvatinib is added for some liver cancer patients.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea. Blood pressure may need monitoring especially when lenvatinib is included.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Phase 2: E7386 + Pembrolizumab + LenvatinibExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

Participants will be randomized to receive E7386 Dose 1 (Cohort 1) or Dose 2 (Cohort 2) tablet, BID, orally in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W IV infusion plus lenvatinib 8 mg capsule, orally, once daily (QD) continuously in 21-days treatment cycles until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study. The dose of treatment depends on tolerability data of both Cohorts.

Group II: Phase 1b and 2: E7386 + PembrolizumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants will receive E7386 twice daily (BID) along with pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenous (IV) infusion once every 3 weeks (Q3W) in 21-day treatment cycle until RP2D is determined in Phase 1b. The recommended dose for Phase 2 part of the study will be based on Phase 1b result. Participants will continue to receive study treatment in Phase 2 part until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.
