PBI-MST-01 (NCT04541108) Substudy MSD-03: Intratumoral Microdosing of Pembrolizumab Alone and With MK-0482 or MK-4830 in HNSCC or STS

Summary

This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 0 substudy designed to evaluate the ability of pembrolizumab, alone and in combination with MK-0482 or MK-4830, to elicit pharmacodynamic changes suggestive of antitumor immune activation within the native tumor microenvironment (TME) following intratumoral microdosing via the CIVO device in patients with surface accessible Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) or Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) lesion(s) who are scheduled for tumor and/or regional node dissection as part of their standard treatment.
