A Study of MQ710 With and Without Pembrolizumab in People With Solid Tumor Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Participants of this study will have a diagnosis of a solid tumor cancer that has come back to its original location or spread beyond its original location (advanced), came back (relapsed) or worsened (refractory) after standard treatments, or no standard treatments are available for the participants' cancer. The purpose of this study if to find the highest dose of MQ710 that causes few or mild side effects in participants with a solid tumor cancer diagnosis.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Dose Escalation Group MQ710 The dose levels will be escalated following a standard 3+3 dose escalation scheme. |
Biological: MQ719
Patients will receive either multidose monotherapy with MQ710 or multidose combination therapy with MQ710 and pembrolizumab. The applicable dose of MQ710 will be injected directly into the patient's tumor (intratumorally), and standard dosing of pembrolizumab (200 mg) will be administered intravenously at a 3-week interval.
|
| Experimental: Dose Expansion Group MQ710 + pembrolizumab Approximately 8 patients will be recruited into the dose expansion group for monotherapy dosing of MQ710. Approximately 12 patients will be recruited for dosing at the MTD/maximally administered dose established in combination with pembrolizumab. |
Biological: MQ719
Patients will receive either multidose monotherapy with MQ710 or multidose combination therapy with MQ710 and pembrolizumab. The applicable dose of MQ710 will be injected directly into the patient's tumor (intratumorally), and standard dosing of pembrolizumab (200 mg) will be administered intravenously at a 3-week interval.
Drug: Pembrolizumab
Patients will receive either multidose monotherapy with MQ710 or multidose combination therapy with MQ710 and pembrolizumab. The applicable dose of MQ710 will be injected directly into the patient's tumor (intratumorally), and standard dosing of pembrolizumab (200 mg) will be administered intravenously at a 3-week interval.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
