An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants that experience AEs will be reported.
DLT will be defined as any drug-related AE observed during the DLT evaluation period that results in a change to a given dose or a delay in initiating the next treatment. The number of participants who experience a DLT as Assessed Using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 will be presented.
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants that discontinue study intervention due to an AE will be reported.
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by Investigator will be presented.
Any of the following toxicities will be considered a DLT: Hematuria leading to clot or obstruction; Grade (Gr) 4 thrombocytopenia; Gr 3 thrombocytopenia associated with clinically significant bleeding; Febrile neutropenia for more than 1 hour; Other Gr ≥3 hematologic toxicity lasting \>7 days; Nonhematologic AE ≥Gr 3 (with exceptions); ≥Gr 2 pneumonitis/ interstitial lung disease; Any ≥Gr 3 nonhematologic laboratory value if clinically significant medical intervention is required, leads to hospitalization, persists for \>7 days, results in a drug induced liver injury, or elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) lab value \>8 ×upper limit of normal (ULN) regardless of duration and AST or ALT elevation 5 × to 8 × ULN that persists for greater than 2 weeks; Recurrent Gr 2 AE resulting in \>2 weeks delay in receiving the next treatment dose; Any intervention-related toxicity that results in study intervention discontinuation; Gr 5 toxicity or AE.
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting condition temporally associated with study treatment and irrespective of causality to study treatment.

MK-3120 is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied for the treatment of advanced solid tumors and bladder cancer, including urothelial cancer. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.
MK-3120 is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker symbol MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this investigational therapy in oncology indications.
MK-3120 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. All ongoing trials are in the recruiting stage, and no completed trials have been reported.
MK-3120 is being evaluated in two active Phase 1 trials: NCT06818643, a study in participants with advanced solid tumors enrolling 270 patients across multiple countries, and NCT07222488, a study in people with bladder cancer enrolling 45 patients. Both trials are currently recruiting.
Yes, MK-3120 is being studied in combination with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab in the KEYMAKER-U04 substudy 04D (NCT07232602) for patients with urothelial cancer. This is a separate Phase 1 trial from the monotherapy studies.
MK-3120 is a monoclonal antibody, but its specific molecular target has not been disclosed in available information. As an investigational oncology therapy, it is being studied to determine its safety and potential efficacy in treating advanced solid tumors and bladder cancer.
