Safety and Efficacy of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Investigational Agents in Participants With Programmed Cell-death 1 (PD-1) Refractory Melanoma (MK-3475-02A/KEYMAKER-U02)
EU CTIS ID: 2023-506312-41-00
What this study is testing
1. To assess the safety and tolerability of investigational treatment combinations based on the proportion of participants with adverse events (AEs) 2. To evaluate objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
