Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Compared to Platinum-Based Chemotherapies in Participants With Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-3475-024/KEYNOTE-024)

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

This is an efficacy and safety study to assess pembrolizumab (MK-3475/SCH 900475) compared to standard of care (SOC) platinum-based chemotherapies in the treatment of participants with previously untreated stage IV, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) strong expressing Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypothesis of this study is that participants with PD-L1 strong NSCLC will have a longer Progression Free Survival (PFS), as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) when treated with pembrolizumab than when treated with platinum-based chemotherapies.

  • Provided newly obtained formalin fixed tumor tissue from a biopsy of a tumor AFTER the diagnosis of metastatic disease has been made AND from a site not previously irradiated
  • PD-L1 strong expressing tumor as determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) at a central laboratory
  • Female participants must have a negative pregnancy test at screening if of childbearing potential or be of non-childbearing potential
