Summary

This is a study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of pembrolizumab formulated with berahyaluronidase when administered as a SC injection to participants with advanced solid tumors. Participants will receive SC injections of pembrolizumab (+) berahyaluronidase alfa containing one of 2 different concentrations (Conc) of pembrolizumab, Conc1 and Conc2, corresponding to a pembrolizumab dose level of dose 1 for Arms 1, 2, and 3 and dose 2 for Arm 4.

Conditions

  • Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
