Key exclusion criteria
- Prior treatment with pembrolizumab, or with any other anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1,
Anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting
T cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways

- Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
(i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive
drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid
replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a
form of systemic treatment.

- Any condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10mg daily
prednisone or equivalent dose of alternative corticosteroid) or other
immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of pembrolizumab administration.
Intranasal, inhaled or topical steroids are permitted in the absence of active
autoimmune disease.

- Prior treatment with denosumab.

- Untreated brain or leptomeningeal metastases or current clinical or radiological
progression of known brain metastases, or requirement for steroid therapy for brain
metastases. Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if they have been
stable and off steroids for = 3 weeks.

- Prior allogeneic organ transplant, inflammatory bowel disease, pneumonitis,
tuberculosis, or primary immunodeficiency

- Active infection requiring systemic therapy within 14 days before the first dose of
pembrolizumab

- Receipt of live attenuated vaccination within 30 days of the planned first dose of
pembrolizumab

- Active dental or jaw condition that precludes administration of denosumab:

i) Significant dental/oral disease, including prior history or current evidence of
osteonecrosis/osteomyelitis of the jaw, or; ii) Active dental or jaw condition which
requires oral surgery, or; iii) Non-healed dental/oral surgery, or; iv) Planned
invasive dental procedures during the course of the study

- Clinically significant hypersensitivity to denosumab or any components of denosumab

- Targeted small molecule therapy, surgery or radiation therapy within 2 weeks before
registration, or persisting adverse event(s) of Grade 2 or more due to a previously
administered agent. Note that participants who have had recent major surgery must have
recovered adequately before registration.

- Life expectancy of less than 3 months.

- History of an active malignancy within the previous 5 years, except for locally
curable cancers that have been apparently cured, such as low-grade thyroid carcinoma,
prostate cancer not requiring treatment (Gleason grade = 6), basal or squamous cell
skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, melanoma in situ, or carcinoma in situ of the
prostate, cervix, or breast. Patients who have been free of other malignancies for = 5
years prior to registration are eligible for this study.

- Significant infection, including chronic active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. -
Serious medical or psychiatric conditions that might limit the ability of the patient
to comply with the protocol

- Pregnancy, lactation, or inadequate contraception. Women must be post-menopausal,
infertile, or use a reliable means of contraception. Women of childbearing potential
must have a negative pregnancy test done within 7 days prior to registration. Men must
have been surgically sterilised or use a (double if required) barrier method of
contraception. Subject is excluded if pregnant or breast feeding, or planning to
become pregnant within 5 months after the end of treatment. Female subject of child
bearing potential is excluded if they are not willing to use, in combination with her
partner, highly effective contraception during treatment and for 5 months after the
end of treatment.
