A Phase 1 Open Label, Multi-Arm, Multicenter Study of MK-4830 as Monotherapy and in Combination With Pembrolizumab for Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

This study will determine the safety and tolerability and to establish a preliminary
recommended Phase 2 dose of MK-4830 administered as monotherapy and in combination with
pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in adults with advance solid tumors.


Inclusion Criteria:

pathology report and have received, have been intolerant to, or have been ineligible
for all treatment known to confer clinical benefit. Solid tumors of any type are
eligible for enrollment.

- Has measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1
(RECIST 1.1) as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology.

- Submits an evaluable baseline tumor sample for analysis (either a recent or archival
tumor sample).

- Has 1 or more discrete malignant lesions that are amenable to biopsy

- Has a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
Performance Scale.

- Demonstrates adequate organ function

to cancer therapeutics administered more than 4 weeks earlier

- Has not recovered from all radiation-related toxicities to Grade 1 or less, requires
corticosteroids, and had radiation pneumonitis.

- Has a history of a second malignancy, unless potentially curative treatment has been
completed with no evidence of malignancy for 2 years.

- Has known untreated central nervous system (ie, brain and/or spinal cord) metastases
or known carcinomatous meningitis.

- Has received any prior immunotherapy and was discontinued from that treatment due to a
Grade 3 or higher residual immune-related AEs

- Previously had a severe hypersensitivity reaction to treatment with a monoclonal
antibody or has a known sensitivity to any component of pembrolizumab.

- Has an active infection requiring therapy.

- Has a history of interstitial lung disease.

- Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current
pneumonitis.

- Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2
years (ie, with use of disease-modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive
drugs) except vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy.

- Has clinically significant cardiac disease, including unstable angina, acute
myocardial infarction within 6 months from Day 1 of study drug administration, or New
