Inclusion criteria

* Participant must have a histologically-confirmed metastatic or locally advanced solid tumor that has failed to respond to standard therapy, progressed despite standard therapy, or for which standard therapy does not exist. * Participant must have Performance Status 0 or 1. * Participant must have adequate organ function.

Exclusion criteria

* Participant has had chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or biological therapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to registration. * Participant has received 4 or greater regimens of chemotherapy (adjuvant therapy and incomplete 1 cycle treatment are not considered as 1 regimen). * Participant has known hypersensitivity to the components of study drug or its analogs. * Participant has had prescription or non-prescription drugs or other products known to be moderate or potent inhibitors/inducers of cytochrome P (CYP)3A4, or substrates of CYP3A4 with narrow therapeutic window.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Cycle 1 (up to 21 or 28 days, depending on treatment arm)Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are any adverse events that are not clearly related to disease progression including Grade 4 neutropenia, Grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenic bleeding or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and any Grade 3 or 4 non hematologic toxicity. An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure and function (Clinical AE) or chemistry (Laboratory AE) of the body temporally associated with the use of study product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.
Number of Participants With Any Clinical or Laboratory Adverse EventFirst dose up to 30 days after last dose (up to 2 years)This is a measure of the number of participants who experienced any adverse event (AE) while on study.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Area Under the Curve From Hour 0 to Hour 24 (AUC[0-24]) for MK-1496 Single Dose (21-Day Cycle)Cycle 1, Day 1 (Hour 0 through Hour 24)AUC\[0-24\] is a measure of the total plasma exposure of drug over a 24-hour period after the initial dose; for this analysis AUC was measured on Day 1 of the first 21-day cycle. AUC\[0-24\] for the 28-day cycle is reported as Outcome Measures 4 and 5.
Mean AUC[0-24] of MK-1496 on Day 1 of Multiple Dose Administration (28-Day Cycle)Cycle 1, Day 1 (Hour 0 through Hour 24)AUC is a measure of the total plasma exposure of a drug. For this analysis, AUC was measured just prior to dosing and through 24 hours postdose on Day 1 of Weeks 1, 2, and 3 in Cycle 1. The AUC value presented is the mean AUC for all measurements. AUC\[0-24\] for the Day 3 doses is reported as Outcome Measure 5.
Mean AUC[0-24] of MK-1496 on Day 3 of Multiple Dose Administration (28-Day Cycle)Cycle 1, Day 3 (Hour 0 through Hour 24)AUC is a measure of the total plasma exposure of a drug. For this analysis, AUC was measured just prior to dosing and through 24 hours postdose on Day 3 of Weeks 1, 2, and 3 in Cycle 1. The AUC value presented is the mean AUC for all measurements. AUC\[0-24\] for the Day 1 doses is reported as Outcome Measure 4.
