Official Title: Open-label Single Arm Phase II Study on Pembrolizumab for Recurrent Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL)
Study ID: NCT02779101
Brief Summary: In summary, there is a high medical need for patients suffering from recurrent/progressive PCNSL. Targeting the PD-1 pathway may represent a very promising novel approach for the treatment of these patients.
Detailed Description: The objective of this study are: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES * To evaluate the Overall Response Rate (CR/PR) in patients treated with pembrolizumab for relapsed PCNSL after MTX-based first-line therapy * To evaluate the safety of pembrolizumab in subjects diagnosed with recurrent PCNSL SECONDARY OBJECTIVES * To describe Best Overall Response categories (CR, PR, SD, PD) in patients treated with pembrolizumab for relapsed PCNSL after MTX-based first-line therapy * To describe individual duration of response over time * To assess progression-free survival in this patient population * To assess overall survival in this patient population EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES * To assess PD-L1 as a predictive marker for response to pembrolizumab
