Summary

This is a single center, open-label phase I clinical trial designed to determine the safety of personalized and adjusted neoantigen peptide vaccine (PANDA-VAC) administered concurrently with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN).

Conditions

  • Squamous Cell Lung Cancer
  • Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

PANDA-VAC

The primary therapeutic neoantigen vaccine product, Personalized and Adaptive Neoantigen Dose-Adjusted Vaccine (PANDA-VAC), will be comprised of 6 peptides at a dose of 300 micrograms (µg) per peptide admixed with local adjuvant Stabilized polyriboinosinic/polyribocytidylic acid (Poly-ICLC).

DRUG

Pembrolizumab

Pembrolizumab will be administered at 200 mg IV dose every three weeks. The subject may transition to 400 mg every six weeks if, after the first scan done after start of treatment, they have a partial response or better or after two scans with stable disease or better.
