Summary
This trial will test a new cancer treatment involving two drugs and immunotherapy. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for treating certain types of advanced and recurrent solid tumors.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain advanced cancers (ovarian, liver, lung, bladder or those with high microsatellite instability) who've finished first-line therapy. They must have a life expectancy of at least 6 months and be relatively mobile (ECOG 0-1). People can't join if they're on steroids/immunosuppressants, had recent radiotherapy or certain cancer mutations, serious infections/transplants, other malignancies or conditions that could interfere with the treatment.
What is being tested?
The study tests DPX-Survivac combined with low dose Cyclophosphamide and Pembrolizumab to see how safe and effective it is against selected advanced solid tumors. Participants will receive this combination therapy to evaluate its impact on their cancer's progression.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions such as inflammation in organs; infusion reactions; fatigue; blood disorders; increased risk of infection; allergic responses to pembrolizumab; digestive issues possibly affecting absorption of oral medications.
