pembrolizumab grapiprant ...Study Participants
54This study will be conducted in adult participants diagnosed with any form of an advanced or progressive MSS CRC for which 1st and 2nd line standard therapy (at least one of which contained fluorouracil) is no longer effective or is intolerable. This is a phase 1b, multi-center, open label study designed to assess safety and tolerability of grapiprant in combination with pembrolizumab, to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) with pembrolizumab, and to evaluate and characterize the PK of grapiprant alone and in combination with pembrolizumab. Disease response, pharmacodynamics, and response biomarkers will also be assessed.
Cohort 1 will be treated for 1 week with oral grapiprant as a single agent, followed by 21-day combination treatment cycles of oral grapiprant in combination with IV pembrolizumab.
Cohort 2 will be administered 21-day combination treatment cycles of oral grapiprant in combination with IV pembrolizumab.
Single Agent run-in with grapiprant and then combination treatment of grapiprant and pembrolizumab.
Participants will be treated with grapiprant in combination with pembrolizumab.
