MK-4280 and Pembrolizumab in Hematologic Malignancies
EU CTIS ID: 2023-503587-17-00
What this study is testing
1. To determine the safety and tolerability and to establish a preliminary recommended Phase2 dose (RP2D) of MK-4280 when used in combination with pembrolizumab. 2. To determine the safety and tolerability of MK-4280 monotherapy. 3. To determine the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab monotherapy.

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Has measurable disease, defined as ≥1 lesion that can be accurately measured in 2 dimensions with diagnostic quality cross sectional anatomic imaging (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging). Minimum measurement must be >15 mm in the longest diameter or >10 mm in the short axis
- Is able to provide a core or excisional tumor biopsy for biomarker analysis from an archival (within 3 months) or newly obtained biopsy at screening
- Has a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
You likely can't join if
- Has known clinically active central nervous system (CNS) involvement
- Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy
- Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs)
- Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis
- Has an active infection requiring intravenous systemic therapy
- Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
