LIGHTBEAM-U01 Substudy 01B: A Phase 1/2 Substudy to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Investigational Agents in Pediatric and Young Adult Participants With Hematologic Malignancies or Solid Tumors
Description
This study is a rolling arm study of pembrolizumab in combination with investigational agents in pediatric participants with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), solid tumors with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) or tumor mutational burden-high (TMB-H), or advanced melanoma. This study will have 2 parts: a safety lead-in to demonstrate a tolerable safety profile and confirm a preliminary recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (Part 1) followed by an efficacy evaluation (Part 2). Participants will be assigned to a treatment arm (either Part 1 or Part 2) that is open for enrollment. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study.The master screening protocol is MK-9999-U01.
