Pembrolizumab in Combination With Ibrutinib for Advanced, Refractory Colorectal Cancers

On this study, one treatment cycle equals 21 days. On the first day of each study treatment
cycle, 200 milligrams of pembrolizumab will be given through an IV (intravenously) for about
thirty minutes. In addition, participants will begin taking the ibrutinib capsules every day
starting on cycle 1, day 1. Participants will have a follow-up visit every 3 weeks, on about
the first day of each cycle with laboratories drawn to make sure that the study drugs are not
causing any side effects. In addition, participants will have a computed tomography (CT) scan
every 6 to 7 weeks to determine whether your cancer is getting better or worse.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

- Measurable or non-measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors
(RECIST) 1.1. Stage IV or recurrent disease is required.

- Participants must have received and progressed through or become intolerant to
fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab. If RAS wild type,
participants should have received and progressed or become intolerant to the above as
well as cetuximab or panitumumab containing therapies. Prior therapy with Regorafenib
and/or TAS 102 is allowed.

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score 0 or 1.

- Estimated life expectancy > 3 months.

- Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following:

- Hemoglobin > 8.0 g/dl

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,000/mm^3 independent of growth factor support

- Platelet count > 100,000/mm^3

- Total bilirubin < 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) unless bilirubin rise is
due to Gilbert's syndrome or of non-hepatic origin

- AST, ALT and Alkaline Phosphatase ≤2.5 times the ULN ( ≤5 x ULN for potential
participants with liver involvement)

- Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min

- Must not have had chemotherapy, major surgery, monoclonal antibody therapy or
experimental therapy within the 21 days prior to the start of ibrutinib administration

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test
performed within 7 days prior to the start of study drug. Post-menopausal women and
surgically sterilized women are not required to undergo a pregnancy test.

- Men and women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception
beginning at the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) until at least 4 months
for both females and males after the last dose of study drug. The definition of
adequate contraception will be based on the judgment of the principal investigator or
a designated associate.

- Must agree to not donate sperm (males) or eggs (females) during and up to 120 days
after the last dose of study treatment.

- Must be able to understand and be willing to sign the written informed consent form. A
signed informed consent form must be appropriately obtained prior to the conduct of
any trial-specific procedure. Must be willing and able to comply with scheduled
visits, treatment schedule, laboratory testing, and other study requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Active central nervous system (CNS) metastases. If CNS metastases are treated and
patients are at neurologic baseline for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment, they
will be eligible but will need a Brain MRI prior to enrollment. Must be off
corticosteroids or on a dose of less than 10mg per day.

- Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Patients with vitiligo, type I diabetes
mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis only requiring hormone
replacement, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger
are permitted to enroll.

- A condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10 mg daily
prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of
enrollment. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses > 10 mg
daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune
disease.

- Prior therapy with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, or anti-CTLA-4
antibody (including ipilimumab or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting
T-cell costimulation or checkpoint pathways).

- Prior therapy with ibrutinib or other BTK inhibitors.

- Previous or concurrent cancer within 3 years prior to treatment start EXCEPT for
curatively treated cervical cancer in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer, superficial
bladder tumors [Ta (non-invasive tumor), Tis (carcinoma in situ) and T1 (tumor invades
lamina propria)].

- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

- Serologic status reflecting active hepatitis B or C infection. Patients who are
hepatitis B core antibody positive and who are antigen negative, will need to have a
negative PCR result prior to enrollment. Those who are hepatitis B antigen positive or
PCR positive, will be excluded.

- Child Pugh B or C cirrhosis.

- History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies.

- Substance abuse, medical, psychological or social conditions that may interfere with
participation in the study or evaluation of the study results.

- History or concurrent condition of interstitial lung disease of any grade or severely
impaired pulmonary function.

- Unresolved toxicity higher than CTCAE grade 1 attributed to any prior therapy or
procedure, excluding alopecia.

- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomatic
arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, any Class 3 or 4 cardiac disease as defined by
the New York Heart Association Functional Classification, or history of myocardial
infarction within 6 months prior to first dose with study drug.

- Unable to swallow capsules or disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal
function and/or inhibiting small intestine absorption such as; malabsorption syndrome,
resection of the small bowel, or poorly controlled inflammatory bowel disease
affecting the small intestine.

- Requires anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (e.g.,
phenprocoumon).

- Requires treatment with a strong CYP3A4/5 and/or CYP2D6 inhibitor.

- History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to enrollment.

- Any illness or medical conditions that are unstable or could jeopardize the safety of
the participant and his/her compliance in the study.

- Major surgery or a wound that has not fully healed within 4 weeks of enrollment.

- Vaccinated with live, attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks of enrollment.

- History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis
within 6 months.
