Brief Summary: You are being asked to take part in this study because you have metastatic cancer that has spread melanoma

The goal of Part 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of APX005M that can be given with pembrolizumab that can be given to patients with metastatic melanoma

The goal of Part 2 of this study is to learn if the combination can help to control metastatic melanoma

The safety of this drug combination will also be studied

This is an investigational study APX005M is not FDA approved or commercially available It is currently being used for research purposes only Pembrolizumab is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of metastatic melanoma The combination of these drugs to treat metastatic melanoma is investigational

The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work

Up to 41 participants will be treated in this study All will take part at MD Anderson
Detailed Description: Study Groups

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study you will be assigned to a study group based on when you join this study Up to 4 groups of 3 participants will be enrolled in Part 1 and up to 20 participants will be enrolled in Part 2

If you are enrolled in Part 1 the dose of APX005M you receive will depend on when you join this study The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level of APX005M Each new group will receive a higher dose of APX005M than the group before it if no intolerable side effects were seen This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of APX005M is found

If you are enrolled in Part 2 you will receive APX005M at the highest dose that was tolerated in Phase 1

All participants will receive the same dose level of pembrolizumab

Study Drug Administration

APX005M will be injected directly into 1 tumor every 3 weeks Weeks 0 3 6 and 9 for up to 4 doses
