• •ECOG PS 0-1
• •Royal Marsden score of 0 or 1
• •Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below based on medical records and according to lab tests performed within 72 hours before C1D1 (Hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL, Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L; Lymphocyte count ≥ 0.5 x 109/L, Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN and CL\>60 mL/min using Cockcroft-Gault formula, or MDRD for patients over 65 years (Appendix 7- Creatinin clearance calculation), AST and ALT ≤ ULN, Serum bilirubin ≤ ULN (in the absence of Gilbert's syndrome), INR or PT ≤ 1.5 × ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as INR/PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants, aPTT ≤ 1.5 × ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or aPTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants, Serum potassium, magnesium, and calcium levels (high or low) ≤ Grade 1
• •Minimal wash-out period for prior treatment (minimal time required from prior treatment and C1D1 of this study):Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation therapy \> 14 days; Immunosuppressive medication \> 28 days, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid; Live attenuated vaccination \> 30 days; Strong CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors \> 14 days; Major surgical procedure, open biopsy (excluding skin cancer resection and screening tumor biopsy), or significant traumatic injury \> 14 days (the wound must have healed).
• •Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours before C1D1 and must agree to use 2 effective forms of contraception from the time of the negative pregnancy test up to 6 months after the last dose of study drug. Effective forms of contraception include abstinence, hormonal contraceptive in conjunction with a barrier method, or a double barrier method. Women of non-child-bearing potential may be included if they are either surgically sterile or have been postmenopausal for ≥ 1 year.
• •Fertile men must agree to use effective methods of birth control during the study and for up to 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
• •Patient should understand, sign, and date the written voluntary informed consent form prior to any protocol-specific procedures performed. Patient should be able and willing to comply with study visits and procedures as per protocol.
• •Patients must be covered by a medical insurance.
• •History of any prior Grade ≥3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) while receiving any previous immunotherapy agent,
• •Inability to take oral medication (i.e. to swallow capsules of Pexidartinib) or significant nausea and vomiting, malabsorption, external biliary shunt, or significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption of oral medication.
• •Hypersensitivity to the active substance or excipient or other humanized monoclonal antibody (a history of hypersensitivity reaction to cetuximab is allowed, but patient should be closely monitored for infusion-related reaction)
• •Symptomatic or active leptomeningeal or parenchymal brain metastases. Patients with previously treated brain metastases (either by surgery, radiotherapy or radiosurgery) may be enrolled if stable, off steroids, on imaging and clinically, for at least 4 weeks.
• •Active or prior/history of disease/medical condition listed below: Documented autoimmune disease within the past 2 years except for autoimmune hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid supplementation and patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus on a stable dose of insulin. NOTE: Subjects with vitiligo, Grave's disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded; Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥470 ms calculated from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs) using Fredericia's Correction; Clinically significant cardiac disease or congestive heart failure \> New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2. Patients must not have unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest) or new-onset angina within the last 3 months or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months; Inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis); Primary immunodeficiency; Allogeneic organ transplant; Known clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis; Any uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, active bleeding diatheses including any subject known to have evidence of acute or chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); Any psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent; Active secondary malignancy unless the malignancy is not expected to interfere with the evaluation of safety and is approved by the sponsor. Examples of the latter include basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in-situ carcinoma of the cervix, and isolated elevation of prostate-specific antigen. Patients with a completely treated prior malignancy and no evidence of disease for ≥ 2 years are eligible; hepatobiliary diseases including biliary tract diseases, autoimmune hepatitis, inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis of liver caused by viral, alcohol, or genetic reasons. Gilbert's disease is allowed if Total Bilirubine is ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
• •Need for the following concomitant medications/interventions not permitted during the study treatment period: Any investigational anticancer therapy other than the protocol-specified therapies; Any concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except palliative radiotherapy on a non-target lesion after discussion with the sponsor), immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment, other than any stated in the protocol; Immunosuppressive medications including, but not limited to systemic corticosteroids at doses exceeding 10 mg/d of prednisone or equivalent, methotrexate, azathioprine, and TNF-α blockers. Use of immunosuppressive medications for the management of investigational product-related AEs or in subjects with contrast allergies is acceptable; Live attenuated vaccines; Strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4; Major surgery
• •Pregnant or breast-feeding female patients.
