Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy in participants with advanced/metastatic or recurrent malignancies who receive gebasaxturev (V937) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475). The primary objective for Part 1 is to evaluate the objective response rate, and the primary objective for Part 2 is to determine the safety and tolerability of gebasaxturev administered in combination with pembrolizumab. With Amendment 4, this study will be terminated once all participants who have completed or discontinued gebasaxturev treatment and are only receiving pembrolizumab may be enrolled in a pembrolizumab extension study, if available, to continue pembrolizumab monotherapy for up to 35 cycles from first pembrolizumab dose on V937-013.

Primary Outcome

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions and no new lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by investigator. For this study, RECIST 1.1 has been modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ, and to specify that intratumoral injection does not render a lesion non-eva
