What is Involved?
If you choose to join the study, you will:
- Have physical exams
- Have blood draws
- Have imaging tests (CT/MRI, EKG, echocardiogram, bone scans)
- Receive a random assignment (fair chance) to 1 of 6 study groups
Each study group will take a different combination of the study drug(s). The 6 possible study drug combinations are:
- MK-1308A alone
- MK-4280A alone
- Pembrolizumab + MK-4830
- Pemborlizumab + MK-6482
- Lenvatinib + MK-6482
- Pembrolizumab + lenvatinib
This study is not blinded. That means both you and your doctor will know the group to which you are assigned and what study drug(s) you will take.
