Summary

This study is testing the drug pembrolizumab in Japanese children with solid tumors or lymphomas, and in Japanese adults with advanced Merkel cell skin cancer. The main goals are to check the drug's safety, how the body processes it, and whether tumors shrink. About 20 participants will receive the treatment to gather this information.
