• •Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to registration, excluding supportive medications such as bisphosphonates.
• •Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis.

• •Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
• •Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past year.
• •Has known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
• •Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to pembrolizumab and/or any of its excipients, or history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar composition to binimetinib.
• •Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years.
• •Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis.
• •Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
• •Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
• •Has a known history of Hepatitis B or known active Hepatitis C virus infection.
• •Has a known history of active (untreated) bacillus tuberculosis (TB).
• •Has a history or current evidence/risk of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or predisposing factors to RVO
• •Has a history of retinal degenerative disease.
• •Has a history of Gilbert's syndrome
• •Has any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events or baseline QTcB interval \>480 msec
• •Has a history of acute coronary syndromes, coronary artery bypass grafting, angioplasty, or stenting within the past 6 months prior to screening or cardiac metastases.
• •Has history or evidence of current clinically significant uncontrolled arrhythmias.
• •Has a history or evidence of current ≥Class II congestive heart failure as defined by New York Heart Association (NYHA).
• •Has an intra-cardiac defibrillator or permanent pacemaker.
• •Has treatment-refractory hypertension defined as a systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg and/or diastolic \>90 mmHg which cannot be controlled by anti-hypertensive therapy.
• •Has a history of neuromuscular disorders associated with elevated creatine phosphokinase (CK).
• •Is planning to embark on a new strenuous exercise regimen after the first dose of study treatment.
• •Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
• •Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.
• •Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
