Arms

  • Experimental: MK-8294
    Participants will receive MK-8294 monotherapy in escalating doses starting from 30 µg up to a planned 70 mg via intravenous (IV) infusion. In addition, intermediate doses may also be assessed. MK-8294 will be administered on Day 1, Day 8, and Day 15 of each cycle (each cycle = 21 days). Per protocol treatment of MK-8294 has no maximum number of cycles. Participants will be treated until any of the criteria for discontinuation of study intervention are met. Participants may also receive a cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) positron emission tomography (PET) tracer as a part of optional PET imaging.

Primary Outcome Measure
