Laborértékek

• For NSCLC Participant only: Has a tumor specimen that is not evaluable for PD-L1 expression by the laboratory
• Has received prior therapy with an anti- programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), anti-PD-L1, or anti- programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2) agent or with an agent directed to another T-cell receptor (i.e., cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 [CTLA-4], OX-40, CD137) or has previously participated in a clinical trial for pembrolizumab (MK-3475)
• Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator

Egyéb

• Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment

• Melanoma Participant:
• Has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable Stage III or metastatic melanoma (Stage IV) not amenable to local therapy
• Has received no more than 1 line of prior systemic therapy for unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma including mitogen activated protein kinase inhibitors
• Has a Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) ≤1.5 times ULN
  • NSCLC Participant-First Line Treatment:
• Has a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV NSCLC
• Has a tumor that demonstrate PD-L1 strong expression (PD-L1 ≥50%)
• Do not have an EGFR sensitizing mutation AND are anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation negative
• Has received no systemic anti-cancer therapy for their metastatic NSCLC
  • NSCLC Participant-Second Line Treatment and Beyond:
• Has a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of stage IIIB//IIIC/IV (including any future updates to the American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] guideline) or recurrent NSCLC
• Has a tumor that expresses programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) ≥1%
• Has received prior treatment with at least two cycles of a platinum-containing doublet for Stage IIIB/IV or recurrent disease
• Has received an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (either erlotinib, gefitinib, or afatinib) if they have an EGFR sensitizing mutation
• Has received crizotinib if they have an ALK translocation
  • NSCLC participants must also meet the following requirements:
• Have a life expectancy of at ≥3 months
• Provide a formalin fixed tumor tissue sample for PD-L1 biomarker analysis from a recent biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated; For first line, biopsies obtained PRIOR to the administration of any systemic therapy administered for the treatment of a tumor (such as neoadjuvant/adjuvant/definitive therapy) will not be permitted for analysis. For second line treatment and beyond, no systemic antineoplastic therapy may be administered between the PD-L1 biopsy and initiating study medication
• Have documented evidence of the EGFR mutation status or ALK translocation status. If unable to provide documentation of these molecular changes, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue of any age should be submitted for testing
• Have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by the local site investigator/radiologist
• Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCP) must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of trial treatment. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
• WOCP must be willing to use an adequate method of contraception for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment
• Men of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy
