Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) used in combination with dinaciclib (MK-7965) in the treatment of relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (rrCLL), multiple myeloma (rrMM), or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (rrDLBCL).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

Time Frame: Up to 42 days

DLTs consisted of the following if observed during treatment Cycles 1 or 2 and assessed by investigator to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to pembrolizumab or dinaciclib: grade 4 non-laboratory nonhematologic toxicity; grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting \>7 days (except thrombocytopenia); grade 4 thrombocytopenia of any duration; grade 3 thrombocytopenia if associated with bleeding; any grade 3 non-laboratory nonhematologic toxicity, except grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, which was not considered a DLT unless lasting more than 3 days despite optimal supportive care; Grade 3 or Grade 4 nonhematologic laboratory abnormality that required medical intervention, led to hospitalization, or persisted for \>1 week; grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia; any drug-related AE that caused participant to discontinue treatment during Cycles 1 or 2; grade 5 toxicity; treatment-related toxicity that caused a \>2-week delay in initiation of treatment Cycle 2 or 3. Each cycle was 21 days.

Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event

Time Frame: Up to approximately 582 days

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study treatment and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. The number of participants who experienced an AE was presented.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to an Adverse Event

Time Frame: Up to 492 days

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study treatment and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. The number of participants who discontinued study drug due to an adverse event is presented.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR)(Up to approximately 26 months)
  • Duration of Response (DOR)(Up to approximately 26 months)
  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS)(Up to approximately 26 months)
  • Overall Survival (OS)(Up to approximately 44 months)
