Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of vorolanib plus pembrolizumab
Time Frame:Completion of enrollment to Dose Escalation cohorts (estimated to be 13 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:-The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level immediately below the dose level at which 2 patients of a cohort (of 2 to 6 patients) experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first cycle. Dose escalations will proceed for both nivolumab and pembrolizumab until the MTD or highest dose level (level 2), which is defined as RP2D.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Safety and toxicity of vorolanib plus pembrolizumab as measured by the number and type of adverse events experienced by participant
Time Frame:30 days after completion of treatment (estimated to be 7 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:-The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
