A Study of MK-4700 Alone or With Pembrolizumab in Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors (MK-4700-001)

A Phase 1 Open-label, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of MK-4700 as Monotherapy and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

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.
