Brief Title: Measuring Biomarker Response to AMP-514 in Blood Samples From Patients With Solid Tumors Undergoing Radiotherapy
Official Title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the In-vitro Effect of AMP-514, a PD-1 Inhibitor, on Peripheral Blood T Cell Proliferation and Cytokine Production From Patients With Solid Malignancies Treated With Radiotherapy (RT)
Study ID: NCT02153151
Brief Summary: This pilot research trial studies the response in blood cells to AMP-514, a drug shown to increase immune response (capacity to fight against infections and cancer) against cancer in patients with solid tumors undergoing radiotherapy. Measuring changes in biomarkers may help doctors decide if AMP-514 should be combined with radiotherapy and when is the best time to combine the drug with radiation.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the in-vitro effect of AMP-514, a programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, on peripheral blood T cell proliferation and cytokine production from patients with solid malignancies, treated with radiotherapy (RT). OUTLINE: Patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline, during the second week of RT, at the end of RT, and at 1 month after the end of RT.
