ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

A Study of MK-6837 as a Monotherapy and Combination Therapy in Participants With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors (MK-6837-001)

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of MK-6837, administered as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475), in participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced/metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to conventional therapy. There will not be any hypothesis testing in the study. As of Amendment 04 (effective date: 18-Dec-2025), there are no pharmacokinetic (PK) secondary outcome measures in this study.

  1. * Has not recovered to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 1 or better from any Adverse Events (AEs) that were due to cancer therapeutics administered more than 4 weeks earlier
  2. * History of a second malignancy, unless potentially curative treatment has been completed with no evidence of malignancy for 2 years
  3. * Has clinically significant cardiovascular disease
  4. * HIV-infected participants with a history of Kaposi's sarcoma and/or Multicentric Castleman's Disease
  5. * Received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention
