19. Has received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy.
Note: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., Flu-Mist®) are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed.

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

the safety of the two proposed combination sequences in a phase I trial.
- Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) will be assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

12 weeks after completion of SBRT

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

1 - combining pembrolizumab with SBRT will increase response rates compared to either treatment alone.
2 - the combination treatment will increase local control of the irradiated lesions and that pembrolizumab might act as a radiosensitiser.
3 - the combination treatment will result in increased progression free survival compared to pembrolizumab in monotherapy.

E.5.2.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

1 - Response will be evaluated at day 84 (+/- 7 days) of the study
2 - d 84 (+/- 7 days)
3 - progression

After documented disease progression each subject will be followed by telephone for overall survival until death, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study, whichever occurs first
