Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to learn about the safety of different doses of MK-4700 and if people tolerate them. The study will also measure what happens in a person's body over time when MK-4700 is given alone or with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in order to find a dose that is safe, tolerated, and may work to treat certain types of cancer.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm 1: MK-4700

Participants receive escalating doses every three weeks (Q3W) of MK-4700 for a maximum of 35 cycles (approximately 2 years; cycles are 21 days in length). Eligible participants enrolled in Arm 1 who experience progressive disease (PD) may cross over to Arm 2 to receive MK-4700 and pembrolizumab combination therapy.
