Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 4Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Study participants will receive 30 mg/kg Bexmarilimab plus pembrolizumab 200mg IV once every 3 weeks.
Group II: Cohort 3Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Study participants will receive 10 mg/kg Bexmarilimab plus pembrolizumab 200mg IV once every 3 weeks. 3 participants will need to complete this level before the next cohort dosing begins.
Group III: Cohort 2Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Study participants will receive 3mg/kg Bexmarilimab given in combination with Pembrolizumab 200mg IV once every three weeks. 3 participants will need to complete this level before the next cohort dosing begins.
Group IV: Cohort 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Study patients will receive 0.1-1 mg/kg bexmarilimab (FP-1350) given in combination with Pembrolizumab 200mg IV once every three weeks. The first subject will be started on 0.1mg to establish toleration, for one dose, and then the dose will be escalated to 1mg. This subject will be included in Cohort 1 data.
