Clinical Trial Summary

This study using pembrolizumab (MK-3475) will be done in 5 parts. In Part A, successive participant cohorts with advanced solid tumors will receive pembrolizumab to assess the safety and tolerability of monotherapy. In Parts B, C, and D, participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will receive pembrolizumab in combination with either cisplatin/pemetrexed or carboplatin/pemetrexed (Part B); with either carboplatin/paclitaxel or carboplatin/nab-paclitaxel (Part C); or with ipilimumab (Part D) by non-random assignment to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy. In Part E, participants with untreated Extensive-disease (ED) Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) will receive pembrolizumab in combination with either cisplatin/etoposide, carboplatin/etoposide, or cisplatin/etoposide with prophylactic use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (lasting G-CSF [pegfilgrastim]) by non-random assignment to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)	The following toxicities graded per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v.4.0) were considered DLTs if judged by the investigator to be related to either study drug: Grade (G) 4 neutropenia lasting >7 days; Grade 3 and Grade 4 febrile neutropenia; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (<25,000/mm^3); Grade 4 anemia; Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity (not laboratory); Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity (not laboratory) lasting >3 days despite optimal supportive care; Any Grade 3 non-hematologic laboratory value if medical intervention is required to treat the participant or the abnormality persists for >7 days.; (Part D only) Missing the second dose of pembrolizumab (Cycle1 Day 22) due to drug-related adverse event	Cycle 1 (first dose and up to 4 weeks in Part A, 3 weeks in Parts B, C, E, and 6 weeks in Part D)
Primary	Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)	An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse event.	Up to approximately 51.3 months
Primary	Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE)	An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse event.

Secondary	Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From 0-28 Days (AUC 0-28) for Part A Cycle 1	AUC 0-28 was the AUC of pembrolizumab from time zero to 28 days after dosing. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 pre-dose. Cycle 1 length was 28 days. AUC 0-28 is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for AUC 0-28 was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.	At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)
Secondary	Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From 0-Infinity (AUC 0-inf) for Part A Cycle 1	AUC 0-inf was the AUC of pembrolizumab from time zero to infinity after dosing. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 pre-dose. Cycle 1 length was 28 days. AUC 0-inf is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for AUC 0-inf was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.	At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)
Secondary	Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Pembrolizumab Over Time for Part A Cycle 1	t1/2 was the time required to divide the pembrolizumab concentration by two after reaching pseudo-equilibrium. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and pre-dose Day 1 of the following cycle prior to pembrolizumab infusion. Cycle 1 length A was 28 days. t1/2 is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for t1/2 was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.	At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)
Secondary	Volume of Distribution (Vz) of Pembrolizumab Over Time for Part A Cycle 1	Vz was the volume of distribution during the terminal phase. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 prior to pembrolizumab infusion. Cycle 1 length A was 28 days. Vz is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for Vz was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.	At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)
Secondary	Clearance (CL) of Pembrolizumab Over Time for Part A Cycle 1	CL was the volume of plasma from which pembrolizumab was eliminated per unit time. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 prior to pembrolizumab infusion. Cycle 1 length A was 28 days. CL is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for CL was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.	At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)
