A Phase Ib Multi-Cohort Trial of MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) in Subjects With Hematologic Malignancies

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of
pembrolizumab (MK-3475, KEYTRUDA®) in hematologic malignancies. The primary study hypotheses
are that treatment with pembrolizumab will result in a clinically meaningful improvement in
Objective Response Rate (ORR) or Complete Remission Rate (CRR).
