        lymphoma kinase (ALK). Participants with ALK or epidermal growth factor receptor
        (EGFR)-positive NSCLC must have had recurrent or progressive disease (PD) after treatment
        with the corresponding inhibitor and current standard of care, in any sequence.

             local laboratory testing, and who have received, or been intolerant to, or ineligible
             for all treatment known to confer clinical benefit.

          -  A male participant must agree to use study-approved contraception during the treatment
             period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study intervention and refrain

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time Frame:Cycle 1 (Up to 21 days)
Safety Issue:
Description:The following toxicities graded for severity using NCI Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.0 will be considered a DLT if judged by the investigator to be possibly related to study investigational products: 1) Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity (ie. not a laboratory finding). 2) Grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting ≥ 7 days, except thrombocytopenia: 3) Grade 4 thrombocytopenia of any duration 4) Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with clinically significant bleeding 5) Any nonhematologic AE ≥ Grade 3 in severity, with some exceptions 6) Any Grade 3 or Grade 4 nonhematologic laboratory value that meets one of the study criteria 7) Febrile neutropenia Grade 3 or Grade 4 8) Prolonged delay (> 2 weeks) in initiating Cycle 2 due to treatment-related toxicity. 9) Any treatment-related toxicity that causes the participant to discontinue treatment during Cycle 1. 10) Grade 5 toxicity 11) Any other clinically significant toxicity judged to be a DLT by the investigator.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 24 months
Safety Issue:
Description:ORR is assessed by the investigator based on Response Rate Assessed by Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) and RECIST for immune-based therapeutics (iRECIST) following administration of V941 in combination with pembrolizumab. Objective response is a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
Measure:Mutant KRAS Specific T cells
Time Frame:Up to approximately 24 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Presence of and changes in the quantity of mutant KRAS specific T cells in the blood.
