Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with radiographically measurable advanced solid tumors who meet organ-function criteria and other protocol requirements.

Probably not a fit

Patients with tumors not responsive to MK-2010 or those with exclusionary health conditions may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 2 interventional study evaluating MK-2010 as a standalone treatment and in combination with other therapies for adults with advanced solid tumors. Participants may receive MK-2010 alone or together with pembrolizumab, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, or oxaliplatin, depending on the regimen. The study aims to evaluate safety and tolerability, and to see how many participants respond by tumor shrinkage or disappearance. Eligibility requires measurable disease, adequate organ function, and certain health exclusions. The trial is sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme and conducted at sites in New Jersey and Ohio.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience tumor shrinkage or disease stabilization and gain access to an active treatment option.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies with similar immune-targeted approaches have shown potential benefits in some solid tumors, but results can vary by tumor type and regimen.
