Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) as Assessed Using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0 by the Investigator
Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 (Up to 6 weeks)

The following events, if considered drug related by the investigator, are considered a DLT: Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity; Grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting ≥7 days, except thrombocytopenia; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia of any duration; Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with bleeding; Nonhematologic Adverse Events (AE) ≥Grade 3 with exceptions; Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-hematologic laboratory values if requires medical intervention, leads to hospitalization, persists for \>1 week, or results in a Drug-induced Liver Injury with exceptions; Grade 3 of 4 febrile neutropenia; Treatment-related toxicities that lead to discontinuation of study treatment during Cycles 1 or 2; Prolonged delay (\>2 weeks) in initiating Cycles 2 or 3 due to treatment-related toxicity; Missing \>25% of MK-7162 doses as a result of treatment-related AE during Cycles 1 or 2; Grade 5 toxicity.

Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)
Up to Approximately 27 Months

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study treatment.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to an AE
Up to Approximately 26 Months

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. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.
