A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 2, Basket Study of MK-4280A, a Coformulation of Favezelimab (MK-4280) with Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Selected Solid Tumors.
Primary:
Cohort A: To evaluate pathological complete response (pCR) rate of MK- 4280A or pembrolizumab as assessed by blinded central pathology review
Cohort B: To evaluate lenvatinib in combination with MK-4280A or pembrolizumab with respect to objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by investigator
