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