Trial summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat certain types of advanced solid tumors. Solid tumors are cancers mostly in organs and tissues in the body, not in the blood or other fluids. Advanced means the cancer has spread nearby or to other parts in the body and cannot be removed with surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-label Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of MK-2010 as Monotherapy and in Combination

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat certain types of advanced solid tumors. Solid tumors are cancers mostly in organs and tissues in the body, not in the blood or other fluids. Advanced means the cancer has spread nearby or to other parts in the body and cannot be removed with surgery.

In this trial, researchers want to learn if the trial medicine called MK-2010, given alone or with other treatments, can treat advanced solid tumors. MK-2010 is designed to help the immune system fight cancer.

The goals of this trial are to learn:

  • About the safety of MK-2010 as monotherapy and in combinations and if participants tolerate them. Tolerate means participants will receive trial treatment unless they need to stop it due to health problems.
  • How many participants who receive MK-2010 as monotherapy and in combination respond to treatment. Respond means the cancer gets smaller or goes away.
Being tested
MK-2010, Pembrolizumab, 5-Fluorouracil, Leucovorin or Levoleucovorin, Oxaliplatin

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

    Measured: Up to approximately 24 months

  2. Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

    Measured: Up to approximately 24 months

  3. Number of Participants Who Experience Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    DLT is defined as any drug-related adverse event (AE) observed during the DLT evaluation period that results in a change to a given dose or a delay in initiating the next dose.

    Measured: Up to approximately 28 days

  4. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) will be presented.

    Measured: Up to approximately 24 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Duration of Response (DOR)

    For participants who demonstrate confirmed CR or PR per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, duration of response is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Up to approximately 48 months

  2. Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to Last (AUC0-last) of MK-2010

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of MK-2010.

    Measured: Predose and at designated time points up to approximately 24 months

  3. Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to the End of the Dosing Interval (AUC0-tau) of MK-2010

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-tau of MK-2010.

    Measured: Predose and at designated time points up to approximately 24 months

  4. Trough Concentration (Ctrough) of MK-2010

    Blood samples will be collected to determine Ctrough of MK-2010.

    Measured: Predose and at designated time points up to approximately 24 months

  5. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-2010

    Blood samples will be collected to determine Cmax of MK-2010.

    Measured: Predose and at designated time points up to approximately 24 months

  6. Incidence of Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) to MK-2010

    Blood samples will be collected to determine ADAs of MK-2010.

    Measured: Predose and at designated time points up to approximately 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MK-2010, Pembrolizumab and 5-Fluorouracil in people with Malignant Neoplam and Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 7 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Switzerland, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Toll Free Number (1-888-577-8839, Trialsites@msd.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Up to approximately 24 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Nov 2026.
