Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), and identify the RP2D of ALKS 4230 in Part A
From time of initiation of therapy until 30 days after last dose of study drug, assessed up to 24 months

Includes AEs that are both serious and drug-related

Number of subjects experiencing AEs that are both serious and drug-related in Part B
From time of initiation of therapy until 30 days after last dose of study drug, assessed up to 24 months

Includes AEs that are both serious and drug-related

Clinical Activity of combination treatment with ALKS 4230 and pembrolizumab in each Part B tumor type.
From time of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 months

Overall Response rate (ORR) will be based on investigator review of radiographic and photographic images

Part A: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
Cycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 2 Day 15 (Cycle 1 length = 14 days; Cycle 2 length= 21 days)

DLT was defined by any of following events possibly, probably, or definitely related to ALKS 4230: Grade 4 neutrophil count decreased (neutropenia); Febrile neutropenia; CTCAE Grade 4 thrombocytopenia; Thrombocytopenia; Any Grade 3 cardiac or central nervous system toxicity; Liver transaminase elevation higher than 8\*upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin higher than 6\*ULN; Grade 4 hypoalbuminemia; Fever more than (\>) 40 degree Celsius (°C) sustained for \>24 hours; Hypotension required the use of pressors or prolonged hospitalization (\>48 hours) for hypotension requiring medical intervention; Grade 3 or higher electrolyte abnormalities; Increase in amylase or lipase; Grade 3 or higher nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; Any other Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity or any other Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity; Any other toxicity or adverse event (AE) not defined above that resulted in participant removal from the study or discontinuation of dosing by the Investigator.

Parts A, B, and C: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From first dose of study drug until 30 days after last dose (up to 10 months for Part A; up to 41.3 months for Part B; up to 51.5 months for Part C)

TEAEs were defined as AEs that were newly occurring or worsening from the time of the first dose of study drug. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product.

Parts A, B, and C: Number of Participants With TEAEs by Severity Grading
From first dose of study drug until 30 days after last dose (up to 10 months for Part A; up to 41.3 months for Part B; up to 51.5 months for Part C)

TEAEs were defined as AEs that were newly occurring or worsening from the time of the first dose of study drug. Severity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE (version 4.03) where, Grade 1: Mild- asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2: Moderate- minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living (ADL) Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care ADL. Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: Death related to AE. As planned, Grades 1 and 2 were combined for reporting.

Parts B and C: Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version (v) 1.1
From first dose of study drug up to 40.3 months for Part B and up to 50.5 months for Part C

ORR rate was defined as the percentage of participants with objective evidence of CR or PR based on RECIST v1.1. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (\<) 10 millimeters (mm). Partial Response (PR): At least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Secondary Endpoints

Proportion of subjects with objective evidence of Complete Response (CR)/immune CR (iCR)
From time of initiation of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 months
Proportion of subjects with objective evidence of Partial Response (PR)/immune PR (iPR)
From time of initiation of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 months
Duration of response in subjects with CR/iCR
Time from the first documentation of complete response, measured approximately every 6 weeks, to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause (estimated up to 24 months)
