Summary

This trial will find out whether brentuximab vedotin and pembrolizumab work together to treat different types of cancer, including metastatic cancer that has progressed after PD-1 inhibitor treatment. The study will also find out what side effects occur.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain metastatic cancers (oral, melanoma, lung) that have not responded to previous treatments. They must have tried a PD-1 inhibitor and can't have any active brain metastases or recent other cancer treatments. Good physical health as measured by ECOG score of 1 or less is required.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of brentuximab vedotin and pembrolizumab in treating advanced cancers that spread to other body parts. It aims to see how well these drugs work together across different cancer types in multiple groups of patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions, infusion-related symptoms, fatigue, skin issues, nerve damage, and complications from organ inflammation. The exact side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.
