DLT's were assessed during the first cycle (21 days) for each dose level and included the following if assessed by the Investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to MK-4166 or MK-4166 plus pembrolizumab combination: Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity; Grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting ≥7 days, except thrombocytopenia (Grade 4 thrombocytopenia of any duration or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia if associated with bleeding); Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity lasting \>3 days despite optimal supportive care; Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or diarrhea if \>3 days despite optimal supportive care; any Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-hematologic laboratory abnormality if medical intervention is required or if leading to hospitalization or if persisting for \>1 week; febrile neutropenia Grade 3 or Grade 4; any drug-related AE which caused participant to discontinue treatment during Cycle 1; Grade 5 toxicity; any treatment-related toxicity which caused a \>2 week delay in initiation of Cycle 2.
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product was also an AE. Per protocol, the number of participants experiencing an AE was assessed and reported by arm (MK-4166 monotherapy and MK-4166 plus pembrolizumab combination therapy) as well as by dose cohort.

MK-4166 is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, and the completed trial evaluated it both as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.
MK-4166 is a monoclonal antibody, but its specific molecular target has not been disclosed in the available information. The drug is being investigated for its potential role in oncology, specifically for solid tumors, though the exact mechanism of action is not detailed.
MK-4166 is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which is publicly traded under the ticker symbol MRK. The company is conducting clinical research on this investigational therapy for advanced solid tumors.
MK-4166 is in Phase 1 clinical development. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug is not yet available as a commercial therapy.
MK-4166 has one completed clinical trial, identified as NCT02132754. This Phase 1 study evaluated MK-4166 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors, enrolling 116 participants aged 18 years and older.
No, MK-4166 is not the same as pembrolizumab. MK-4166 is a separate investigational monoclonal antibody being studied in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in a clinical trial for advanced solid tumors. The two drugs are distinct agents.
