Merck’s P-III Trial Assessing Keytruda Met its Secondary Endpoint in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Patients

Shots:

  • The P-III (KEYNOTE-564) clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of Keytruda (200mg, IV at 3wks cycle for 17cycles) vs PBO as adjuvant treatment for patients (n=994) with RCC at intermediate-high/high risk of recurrence following nephrectomy with/out resection of metastatic lesions in the ratio 1:1. The 1EP of the study includes DFS & 2EPs includes OS & safety
  • The company reported that the study depicted a statistically significant & clinically meaningful improvement in OS vs PBO whereas the safety data were consistent with previous studies
  • Earlier, the (KEYNOTE-564) study met its 1EP of DFS with a 32% reduction in risk of disease recurrence or death vs PBO
