Special Combination of OBP-301 and Pembrolizumab

An Open Label Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of OBP-301 With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is multicenter, open-label Phase I study to exploratively evaluate the efficacy and safety of OBP-301 in combination with Pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Phase 1a part:

To evaluate safety and tolerability in combination of OBP-301 and Pembrolizumab in patient with advanced or metastatic solid tumor and to determine recommended dose in phase 1b part.

Phase 1b part:

To evaluate safety and potential efficacy in combination of OBP-301 and Pembrolizumab in patients in expanded arm.
