        Inclusion Criteria:

        1. Patient at least 18 years old and has definitive histologically or cytologically
        confirmed metastatic solid tumor 2. Patient has one or more metastatic tumors measurable by
        CT scan (or PET/CT, if patient is allergic to CT contrast media) 3. The investigator will
        select the appropriate treatment arm for the patient with the following requirements: (a)
        Patients cannot have had prior progression or intolerance on the single agent chemotherapy
        and then enrolled on an arm with that same single agent chemotherapy plus pembro (b) The
        chemotherapy on the arm selected must be considered standard of care or listed in the NCCN
        guidelines (www.nccn.org) for that cancer type 4. Have recovered from acute toxicities of
        prior treatment:

          1. > 3 weeks must have elapsed since receiving any investigational agent

          2. > 2 weeks must have elapsed since receiving any radiotherapy, or ≥ 3 weeks or 5
             half-lives whichever is shorter for treatment with cytotoxic or biologic agents (≥ 6
             weeks for mitomycin or nitrosoureas). Chronic treatment with non-investigational
             gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs or other hormonal or supportive care is
             permitted 5. Patient has adequate biological parameters as demonstrated by the
             following blood counts at time of screening: 6. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1500

             docetaxel containing arm, bilirubin must be within institutional normal limits and
             AST/ALT ≤ 1.5 times the ULN) 8. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) within institutional
             normal limits. If TSH is above the upper limit of normal range, then a free T4 within
