Overview

This entry refers to the therapeutic regimens evaluated in the Phase Ib/II 'PembroMab' clinical trial (NCT02318901) conducted at the Western Regional Medical Center. The study investigates the combination of the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab with established monoclonal antibodies targeting HER2 (trastuzumab and ado-trastuzumab emtansine) or EGFR (cetuximab). The goal is to leverage the synergistic effects of targeted therapy and immunotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors, including HER2-positive breast, gastric, and esophageal cancers, as well as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and KRAS/NRAS/BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer. By combining checkpoint inhibition with targeted monoclonal antibodies, the regimen aims to enhance the immune system's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells while simultaneously inhibiting key growth signaling pathways.
