The primary purpose of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of pembrolizumab following subcutaneous (SC) injection of pembrolizumab coformulated with hyaluronidase, and to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) of pembrolizumab (+) berahyaluronidase alfa SC in adult participants with Relapsed or Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (rrcHL) or Relapsed or Refractory Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma (rrPMBCL). There is no formal hypothesis to be tested for this study.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Merck & Co (MRK) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (35/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
