This study will be looking at whether MK-3475 (an antibody that blocks negative signals to T
cells) is effective (anti-tumor activity) and safe in three different patient populations.
These include: 1. patients with MSI positive colon cancer, 2. patients with MSI negative
colon cancer 3. patients with other MSI positive cancers, and 4. patients with MSI negative
cancer with a mutator phenotype.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Arm 1 only: Patients with microsatellite instability (MSI) positive colorectal cancer

- Arm 2 only: Patients with MSI negative colorectal cancer

- Arm 3 only: Patients with MSI positive non-colorectal cancer

- Arm 4 only: patients with hypermutated MSI negative cancer

final dose of study drug
