Critètes d'exclusion
  • Prior exposure to Pembrolizumab (or other anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent; or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (e.g., CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137)).
  • Known allergies, hypersensitivity to mannitol, corticosteroids, monoclonal antibodies or human proteins, or their excipients (refer to the Pembrolizumab IB), or known sensitivity to mammalian-derived products

  • History of prior autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation or bone marrow transplantation for any indication.
  • Subject who is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. Subjects who have entered the follow-up phase of an investigational study may participate as long as it has been 4 weeks after the last dose of the previous investigational agent.
  • Myeloma with known CNS involvement, plasma cell leukemia or amyloidosis.
  • Chemotherapy or other anti-myeloma therapy other than three or less cycles of CyBorD. Prior bisphosphonates or other bone consolidation therapy is acceptable either if it was given for myeloma or for any other indication.
  • Known congenital or acquired immune deficiency or ongoing chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immune suppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug for any indication, excluding Dexamethasone or steroids given as part of myeloma treatment.
  • Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis.
  • Known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), defined as a FEV1 <50% predicted value.
  • Known moderate or severe persistent asthma within the last 2 years, or currently has uncontrolled asthma of any classification.

    • Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or known congestive heart failure Class III/IV (Appendix 5 of protocol) within the preceding 12 months.
    • Transient ischemic attack within the preceding 3 months, pulmonary embolism within the preceding 2 months.
    • Any of the following: sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, Torsades de Pointes, cardiac arrest, Mobitz II second degree heart block or third-degree heart block; known presence of dilated, hypertrophic, or restrictive cardiomyopathy.
    • QTc prolongation as confirmed by ECG assessment at screening (QTc >470 milliseconds).
  • Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
  • Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.
  • Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment. Subjects must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities
  • Prior history of malignancies, other than MM, unless the subject has been free of the disease for 3 years or longer. Exceptions include the following:
    • Basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
    • Carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast

  • Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the study.
  • Has a history or current evidence of any condition (i.e. uncontrolled diabetes, active or uncontrolled infection, acute diffuse pulmonary disease, pericardial disease, uncontrolled thyroid dysfunction), therapy or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator.
