  • Any advanced solid tumor that has failed at least one line of therapy and is TMB-H (≥10 mut/Mb, F1CDx assay), excluding dMMR/MSI-H tumors.

Note: For participants to be eligible for enrollment they must have failed at least one line of standard of care systemic therapy (ie, not treatment naïve), with the exception of CRC participants who must have failed at least 2 lines of standard of care systemic therapy, as per CRC specific eligibility criteria. Participants must not have melanoma or NSCLC.

  • Female participants of childbearing potential must be willing to use adequatecontraception during the intervention period and for at least the time needed toeliminate each study intervention after the last dose of study intervention. andagrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store for her own usefor the purpose of reproduction during this period. The length of time required tocontinue contraception for each study intervention is as follows: MK-3475 (120 days)
