Phase: PHASE2
Status at capture: COMPLETED
Registry last update: 2023-03-02

This is a study using pembrolizumab (MK-3475, KEYTRUDA®) for first-line treatment of participants with advanced/unresectable (inoperable) or metastatic urothelial cancer who are ineligible for cisplatin-based therapy. The primary study objective is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) in all participants and by programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status. With Amendment 4, once a participant has achieved the study objective or the study has ended, the participant will be discontinued from this study and will be enrolled in an extension study to continue protocol-defined assessments and treatment.

description
ORR was determined in all participants and was defined as the percentage of participants who had a confirmed Complete Response (CR: complete disappearance of all lesions and no new lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per modified RECIST as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR). Modified RECIST differs from RECIST 1.1 in that progressive disease requires confirmation by a repeat radiological assessment no less than 4 weeks from the date of first documented progressive disease. Participants with missing data were considered non-responders. Per protocol, only data generated during the initial course of treatment contributed to the analysis.

DOR was determined in participants who demonstrated a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR). DOR was defined as the time from first documented evidence of a CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death and was calculated using the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. Participants who had not progressed or died at the time of analysis were censored at the date of their last tumor assessment. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was a ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions plus an absolute increase of ≥5 mm in the sum, or the appearance of ≥1 new lesions. Per protocol, only data generated during the initial course of treatment contributed to the analysis.

Full study description

brief Summary: This is a study using pembrolizumab (MK-3475, KEYTRUDA®) for first-line treatment of participants with advanced/unresectable (inoperable) or metastatic urothelial cancer who are ineligible for cisplatin-based therapy. The primary study objective is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) in all participants and by programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status. With Amendment 4, once a participant has achieved the study objective or the study has ended, the participant will be discontinued from this study and will be enrolled in an extension study to continue protocol-defined assessments and treatment.
detailed Description: Participants receiving pembrolizumab who attain a complete response (CR) may consider stopping trial treatment if they meet criteria for holding therapy. Participants who stop trial treatment after receiving 24 months of trial treatment for reasons other than progressive disease (PD) or intolerability, or participants who attain a CR and stop trial treatment may be eligible for up to one year of retreatment upon experiencing PD.
