Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of entinostat used in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with NSCLC. Additionally, the purpose of the study is to assess how effective entinostat and pembrolizumab are in combination in participants with NSCLC, Melanoma, and Mismatch-Repair Proficient CRC.

Primary Outcome

The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions (whether measurable or not) and no new lesions. All measurable lymph nodes also must have a reduction in short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm). PR: Sum of the diameters (longest for non-nodal lesions, shortest for nodal lesions) of target and new measurable lesions decreases ≥30%. For purposes of analysis, 1 month was considered to be 30.43
