About this trial

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with certain advanced solid tumors. Advanced means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be removed with surgery. Solid tumors are cancers mostly in body organs and tissues, not in the blood or other body liquids. The main goal of this study is to learn about the safety of MK-3120 and if people tolerate it.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience at least one AE will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 43 months
2

Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 42 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as Assessed by the Investigator

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who had 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) as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1.

Time frame
Up to approximately 72 months
2

Duration Of Response (DOR) Per RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by the Investigator

For participants who demonstrate a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or confirmed PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1 will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 72 months
3

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Per RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by the Investigator

PFS is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to the first documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first will be assessed by the investigator using RECIST 1.1. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1 will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 72 months
4

Overall Survival (OS) Per RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by the Investigator

OS is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to death due to any cause as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1 will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 72 months
