Inclusion criteria

* For Phase I the subject has histological or cytological evidence of a solid tumor. For Phase II the subject must have 1 of the specified adult solid tumor types: gastric, ovarian, lung, head and neck. * Subject must have at least one target lesion based on RECIST * Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of 0 or 1 * Subjects must have adequate liver function * Subjects must have adequate kidney function * Subjects must be recovered from the effects of any prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, other prior systemic anticancer therapy, radiotherapy or surgery * Subjects who have received radiation therapy must wait at least 4 weeks after their last radiation treatment before enrollment into the study * Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of the start of treatment and on Day 1 before the first dose is administered * Subject will agree to follow contraceptive requirements defined in the protocol * Additional criteria may apply

Exclusion criteria

* Subject is currently pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding * Subjects with an active infection or with a fever ≥ 38.5°C within 3 days of the first scheduled day of dosing for Cycle 1 * Subjects with active or symptomatic central nervous system metastases are excluded. Subjects with central nervous system metastases are eligible for the study if the metastases have been treated by surgery and/or radiation therapy, the subject is off corticosteroids for at least 2 weeks, and the subject is neurologically stable * Subjects with known hypersensitivity to any components of ALKS 4230 or to pembrolizumab or any of its excipients * Subjects who require pharmacologic doses of systemic corticosteroids are excluded; replacement doses, topical, ophthalmologic, and inhalational steroids are permitted * Subjects who developed autoimmune disorders while on prior immunotherapy, including pneumonitis, nephritis, and/or neuropathy * Subjects with any other concurrent uncontrolled illness, including mental illness or substance abuse, which may interfere with the ability of the subjects to cooperate and participate in the study * The subject is known to be positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B or C, or active tuberculosis, or has a known history of tuberculosis * Additional criteria may apply

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), and identify the RP2D of ALKS 4230 in Part AFrom time of initiation of therapy until 30 days after last dose of study drug, assessed up to 24 monthsIncludes AEs that are both serious and drug-related
Number of subjects experiencing AEs that are both serious and drug-related in Part BFrom time of initiation of therapy until 30 days after last dose of study drug, assessed up to 24 monthsIncludes AEs that are both serious and drug-related
Clinical Activity of combination treatment with ALKS 4230 and pembrolizumab in each Part B tumor type.From time of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 monthsOverall Response rate (ORR) will be based on investigator review of radiographic and photographic images

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of response in subjects with PR/iPRTime from the first documentation of complete response, measured approximately every 6 weeks, to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause (estimated up to 24 months)PR/iPR duration
Non-progression for Part BAssessed up to 24 monthsTime from first dose of SC ALKS 4230 to the time of progression or death
Overall survival for Part BAssessed up to 24 monthsTime from first dose of SC ALKS 4230 to the time of death
Proportion of subjects with objective evidence of Complete Response (CR)/immune CR (iCR)From time of initiation of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 monthsOverall response rate (ORR) will be based on investigator review of radiographic or photographic images
Serum will be assayed for the presence of anti-ALKS 4230 antibodiesFrom time of initiation of therapy until the last treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), assessed up to 24 monthsResults will be summarized by dose level
Immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be performed by flow cytometry at various time pointsFrom time of initiation of therapy until the last treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), assessed up to 24 monthsResults will be summarized by dose level
Serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines will be assessed using a multiplex method at various time pointsFrom time of initiation of therapy until the last treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), assessed up to 24 monthsResults will be summarized by dose level
Serum concentrations of ALKS 4230 will be determined at various time pointsFrom time of initiation of therapy until the last treatment cycle (each cycle is 21 days), assessed up to 24 monthsConcentration vs time and standard pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters will be summarized by dose level
Proportion of subjects with objective evidence of Partial Response (PR)/immune PR (iPR)From time of initiation of therapy until the date of first documented tumor progression, assessed up to 24 monthsORR will be based on investigator review of radiographic or photographic images
Duration of response in subjects with CR/iCRTime from the first documentation of complete response, measured approximately every 6 weeks, to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause (estimated up to 24 months)CR/iCR duration
