Measure
Pembrolizumab, Trastuzumab,Capecitabine/Cisplatin
Pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks, trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose; 6 mg/kg maintenance) IV every 3 weeks with cisplatin IV every 3 weeks with oral capecitabine 2 weeks on/1 week off. Each cycle consists of 21 days. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. In Cycle 1, patients will initiate therapy with trastuzumab 8 mg/kg IV with pembrolizumab 200 mg IV. CT/MRI scan will be performed after the initial 3 weeks (1 cycle) to determine response to pembrolizumab and trastuzumab combination. With subsequent cycles, all patients will begin systemic chemotherapy with the capecitabine/cisplatin regimen in addition to pembrolizumab 200 mg IV with trastuzumab 6 mg/kg maintenance. Patients will receive cisplatin 80 mg/m2 IV on Day 1, and capecitabine 850mg/m2 twice a day on Days 1 through 14, every 3 weeks.
