An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. The number of participants who experienced an AE will be presented.
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE will be presented.
For Arms A, C-F, I, and K ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. For Arm B, ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who experience a PR or CR per RANO, determined by: disappearance or size reduction of lesions, and review of abnormalities on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2/FLAIR) images; Clinical status based on age-adjusted performance; And whether daily steroid dose has changed since previous visit. The percentage of participants who experience a CR or PR based on modified RECIST 1.1 as assessed by investigator or based on RANO will be presented.

MK-4830 is an investigational small molecule being developed by Merck & Company, Inc. (ticker MRK) for the treatment of neoplasms, or advanced solid tumors. It is in Phase 1 clinical development and has been studied both as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab.
MK-4830 targets ILT4, also known as immunoglobulin-like transcript 4. ILT4 is an inhibitory receptor, and MK-4830 is designed to bind this target as part of its mechanism in oncology. The compound is a small molecule and was evaluated in biomarker-selected participants in its clinical program.
MK-4830 is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. Merck sponsored the Phase 1 study of MK-4830 conducted across sites in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France, Greece, Israel, Japan, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain.
MK-4830 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been established as approved for any indication. Its single registered trial, NCT03564691, has been completed, and no trials are currently listed as active.
MK-4830 has been studied in one registered clinical trial, NCT03564691, titled a study of MK-4830 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in participants with advanced solid tumors. That Phase 1 trial is completed and enrolled 470 participants aged 18 years and older.
The Phase 1 trial NCT03564691 evaluated MK-4830 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors. It was a controlled study with 470 participants, was not randomized and not double blinded, enrolled adults 18 years and older of all sexes, and did not include healthy volunteers.
