Primary
Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE v.4.0) in Participants With Solid Tumors (Parts A and A1)
Up to 28 days in Cycle 1
DLTs were assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v.4.0 during the first cycle (28 days) and were defined as occurrence of any of the following toxicities if judged by the investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug administration: Grade (Gr) 4 nonhematologic toxicity; Gr 4 hematologic toxicity lasting ≥14 days; Gr 3 nonhematologic toxicity lasting \>3 days despite optimal supportive care; any Grade 3 non-hematologic laboratory value if medical intervention was required to treat the participant, the abnormality led to hospitalization, or the abnormality persisted for \>1 week; Gr 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia; thrombocytopenia \<25,000 cells/mm\^3 (if associated with a bleeding event requiring an elective platelet transfusion, or a life-threatening bleeding event which resulted in urgent intervention and admission to an Intensive Care Unit); or Gr 5 toxicity. The number of participants in Part A and Part A1 with a DLT were reported by pembrolizumab dose received.
PrimaryNumber of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 91 months (through Final Database cut-off date of 05-Nov-2018)
An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition which was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product was also an AE. The number of participants who experienced an AE was reported for each arm.
Primary
Overall Response Rate (ORR) According to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as Assessed by Integrated Radiology and Oncology (IRO): Melanoma Participants (Parts B Plus D)
Up to approximately 53 months (through Interim Database cut-off date of 18-Sep-2015)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters \[SOD\] of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD) according to RECIST 1.1, which was modified for this study to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. The percentage of participants who experienced a confirmed CR or PR according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by IRO was reported as the ORR for each melanoma dose arm (Parts B plus D).
PrimaryORR According to RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC): Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Participants (Parts C Plus F)Up to approximately 53 months (through Interim Database cut-off date of 18-Sep-2015)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a confirmed CR (disappearance of all lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters \[SOD\] of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD) according to RECIST 1.1, which was modified for this study to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. The percentage of participants who experienced a confirmed CR or PR according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by IRC was reported as the ORR for each NSCLC dose arm (Parts C plus F).
SecondaryORR According to Immune-related Response Criteria (irRC) as Assessed by Investigator in Melanoma Participants (Parts B Plus D)Up to approximately 53 months (through Interim Database cut-off date of 18-Sep-2015)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a confirmed immune-related Complete Response (irCR: complete disappearance of all tumor lesions whether measurable or not, and no new lesions) or immune-related Partial Response (irPR: decrease in sum of the products of the two largest perpendicular diameters (SPD) of ≥50% by a consecutive assessment ≥4 weeks after first documentation) according to irRC. The percentage of participants who experienced a confirmed irCR or irPR according to irRC as assessed by the investigator was reported as the ORR for each melanoma dose arm (Parts B plus D).
SecondaryORR According to irRC as Assessed by Investigator in NSCLC Participants (Parts C Plus F)Up to approximately 53 months (through Interim Database cut-off date of 18-Sep-2015)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a confirmed irCR (complete disappearance of all tumor lesions whether measurable or not, and no new lesions) or irPR (decrease in sum of the products of the two largest perpendicular diameters (SPD) of ≥50% by a consecutive assessment ≥4 weeks after first documentation) according to irRC. The percentage of participants who experienced a confirmed irCR or irPR according to irRC as assessed by the investigator was reported as the ORR for each NSCLC dose arm (Parts C plus F).
SecondaryArea Under the Concentration-Time Curve of Pembrolizumab From Time 0 to Day 28 (AUC 0-28) in Solid Tumor Participants (Parts A and A1)Cycle 1: Pre-dose, post-dose at 0.5, 6, 24, and 48 hours and Days 8, 15, and 22 (Cycle 1 = 28 days)
Blood samples were collected at specified intervals for the determination of AUC0-28. AUC0-28 was defined as the area under the concentration-time curve of pembrolizumab from time zero to Day 28. AUC0-28 was based on noncompartmental analysis and reported for participants in Parts A and A1.
SecondaryArea Under the Concentration-Time Curve of Pembrolizumab From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC 0-inf) in Solid Tumor Participants (Parts A and A1)Cycle 1: Pre-dose, post-dose at 0.5, 6, 24, and 48 hours and Days 8, 15, and 22 (Cycle 1 = 28 days)
Blood samples were collected at specified intervals for the determination of AUC0-inf. AUC0-inf was defined as the area under the concentration-time curve of pembrolizumab from time zero to infinity. AUC0-inf was based on noncompartmental analysis and reported for participants in Parts A and A1.
SecondaryMaximum Concentration (Cmax) of Pembrolizumab in Solid Tumor Participants (Parts A and A1)Cycle 1: Pre-dose, post-dose at 0.5, 6, 24, and 48 hours and Days 8, 15, and 22 (Cycle 1 = 28 days)
Blood samples were collected at specified intervals for the determination of Cmax. Cmax was defined as the maximum concentration of pembrolizumab reached. Cmax was based on noncompartmental analysis and reported for participants in Parts A and A1.
SecondaryTime to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Pembrolizumab in Solid Tumor Participants (Parts A and A1)Cycle 1: Pre-dose, post-dose at 0.5, 6, 24, and 48 hours and Days 8, 15, and 22 (Cycle 1 = 28 days)
Blood samples were collected at specified intervals for the determination of Tmax. Tmax was defined as time to the maximum concentration of pembrolizumab reached. Tmax was based on noncompartmental analysis and reported for participants in Parts A and A1.
