Brief Summary:
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab when given together with chemoradiotherapy or radiation therapy in treating patients with small cell lung cancer. 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. Giving pembrolizumab with chemoradiotherapy or radiation therapy may be a better treatment for small cell lung cancer.

| Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Neuroendocrine Neoplasm | Drug: Carboplatin Drug: Cisplatin Drug: Etoposide Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis Biological: Pembrolizumab Procedure: Radiation Therapy | Phase 1 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Safety of pembrolizumab (MK 3475) plus chemotherapy (chemo)/radiation for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).
II. Safety of MK-3475 plus radiation for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. MK-3475 will improve progression free survival (PFS) compared to historical controls for LS-SCLC and ES-SCLC.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of pembrolizumab. Patients are assigned to either Part A or Part B based on diagnosis.
PART A (LS-SCLC): Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 and undergo radiation therapy twice daily (BID) 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Patients also receive cisplatin IV over 2 hours or carboplatin IV over 30 minutes and etoposide IV over 4 hours on days 1, 2, and 3. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 16 courses (1 course for radiation therapy, 4 courses for chemotherapy) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve systemic disease control and do not exhibit severe (grade > 3) pembrolizumab related toxicity during/after completion of 16 courses may receive 16 additional courses of pembrolizumab in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PART B (ES-SCLC): Beginning after the completion of chemotherapy, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and undergo radiation therapy BID 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 16 courses (1 course for radiation therapy) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, all patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Maximum tolerated dose of pembrolizumab with concurrent chemoradiation determined by dose limiting toxicities graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (Part A) [ Time Frame: Up to 22 days after therapy initiation ]Frequency of adverse events will be tabulated by grade, type, and dose/cohort. Relative frequencies and confidence intervals will also be constructed.
- Maximum tolerated dose of pembrolizumab with concurrent radiation determined by dose limiting toxicities graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (Part B) [ Time Frame: Up to 22 days after therapy initiation ]Frequency of adverse events will be tabulated by grade, type, and dose/cohort. Relative frequencies and confidence intervals will also be constructed.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 8 years ]Will be performed using Global Immune Related Response Criteria that factors all indexed and non-indexed lesions, In-Field Immune Related Response Criteria in which only non-radiation therapy-treated lesions and non-index lesions arising outside the radiation therapy planning target volume will be considered, and Out-Field Immune Related Response Criteria in which only non-radiation therapy-treated lesions and non-index lesions arising outside the radiation therapy planning target volume will be considered.
- Progression free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 8 years ]Time to event distributions for progression free survival will be estimated via Kaplan-Meier analysis.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 8 years ]Time to event distributions for overall response will be estimated via Kaplan-Meier analysis.
- Biomarker response [ Time Frame: Up to 8 years ]Descriptive analysis will include a global assessment of patient outcomes for parts A and B separately.
