MK-3475 and Gemcitabine in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This study is an open-label, non-randomized phase I study, followed by open-label non-randomized phase II study. The first cohort of patients will receive 200 milligrams (mg) of MK-3475 by intravenous infusion over a 21-day period called a cycle along with Gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 given on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for up to 6 cycles. Patients will be seen in the study clinic 12 times over 126 days for an evaluation of signs and symptoms that may represent drug toxicity. Patients may continue to receive MK-3475 (without gemcitabine) for up to 2 years.
