  • Male participants must agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of treatment through 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab.
  • Results of partial genomic or full-genomic sequencing or genetic studies to determine the status of the patient's mutation load.
  • ECOG performance status greater than or equal to 2
  • Adequate kidney function: serum creatinine less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dL or creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 40 mL/min
  • Adequate bone marrow function: absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1.5 x 10\^9/L, hemoglobin greater than or equal to 10 g/dL (can be corrected by growth factor or transfusion), and platelet count greater than or equal to 100 x 10\^9/L

If alkaline phosphatase is greater than 3 x ULN (in absence of liver metastases) or greater than 5 x ULN (in presence of liver metastases) AND patient also is known to have bone metastases, the liver specific alkaline phosphatase must be used to assess liver function instead of total alkaline phosphatase
