NCT03635567 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Efficacy and Safety Study of First-line Treatment With Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Plus Chemotherapy Versus Placebo Plus Chemotherapy in Women With Persistent, Recurrent, or Metastatic

Draft scope assessment: unclear. Attached because the study's own record describes metastatic disease. The study was not selected for this indication by its sponsor, and its eligibility has not been reconciled against this page in full. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as ≥ 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. The PFS per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by Investigator for all randomized participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1 is presented.

Number of Participants With a 10-point Change From Baseline in Quality of Life (QoL) Based on the European Organisation for the Research & Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QoL Questionnaire-30 (QLQ-C30) Combined Global Score
measure definition
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" (Item 29) and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" (Item 30) are scored on a 7-point scale (1= Very poor to 7=Excellent). Raw scores are standardized with linear transformation so that scores range from 0-100. A higher combined score indicates a better overall health status. Participant post-baseline scores were classified based on change from baseline, "Improved": a ≥10-point improvement in score and confirmed by the next visit; "Stable": a ≥10-point increase or \<10-point change in score OR a \<10-point change in score and a ≥10-point increase in score at the next visit; or "Deteriorated": a ≥10-point deterioration in score when the criteria for improvement/stability weren't met. Participants who didn't meet "Improved", "Stable", or "Deteriorated" criteria reported as "Other".

    On Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, participants received an intravenous (IV) infusion of pembrolizumab 200 mg for up to 35 cycles (up to approximately 2 years) PLUS Investigator choice of chemotherapy for up to 6 cycles (paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2 PLUS cisplatin 50 mg/m\^2 WITH or WITHOUT bevacizumab 15 mg/kg per local label OR paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2 PLUS carboplatin Area Under the Curve (AUC) 5 for up to 6 cycles, WITH or WITHOUT bevacizumab 15 mg/kg per local label).

    Serious and Other adverse events (AEs) included all participants who received ≥1 dose of study drug. All-Cause Mortality included all randomized participants. Per protocol, disease progression of cancer under study was not considered an AE unless considered related to study treatment. Thus, MedDRA preferred terms "Neoplasm progression", "Malignant neoplasm progression" \& "Disease progression" not related to study treatment are excluded as AEs. Data are reported by treatment received.

    Number of Participants With a 10-point Change From Baseline in Quality of Life (QoL) Based on the European Organisation for the Research & Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QoL Questionnaire-30 (QLQ-C30) Combined Global Score
    measure definition
    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" (Item 29) and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" (Item 30) are scored on a 7-point scale (1= Very poor to 7=Excellent). Raw scores are standardized with linear transformation so that scores range from 0-100. A higher combined score indicates a better overall health status. Participant post-baseline scores were classified based on change from baseline, "Improved": a ≥10-point improvement in score and confirmed by the next visit; "Stable": a ≥10-point increase or \<10-point change in score OR a \<10-point change in score and a ≥10-point increase in score at the next visit; or "Deteriorated": a ≥10-point deterioration in score when the criteria for improvement/stability weren't met. Participants who didn't meet "Improved", "Stable", or "Deteriorated" criteria reported as "Other".

    population note
    Per protocol, all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study treatment and completed at least one EORTC QLQ-C30 assessment were analyzed. Participants with no EORTC QLQ-C30 assessment were not included in the analysis.
