Study Summary

This trial will test a new cancer treatment, made of two drugs, to see if it is safe and works well against hematological malignancies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain blood cancers that have come back or haven't responded to treatment. They must have tried standard treatments, be ineligible or intolerant to them, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. Participants need functioning organs and can't join if they've had recent major surgery, live vaccines, other clinical trials within 4 weeks, severe allergies to the drugs tested, active infections needing systemic therapy, HIV/AIDS, uncontrolled diseases or conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination drug called pembrolizumab/vibostolimab (MK-7684A) on various relapsed/refractory hematological malignancies. It aims to assess safety and tolerability as well as how well it works (response rate), how long it works (duration of response), disease control rate and its pharmacokinetics—how the body absorbs and processes the drug.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common ones for cancer immunotherapy like pembrolizumab include fatigue, skin reactions at injection site, itching rash all over body; flu-like symptoms including fever chills muscle joint pain; nausea vomiting diarrhea constipation loss of appetite weight changes.
