In a phase III NRG‑GY018 trial investigating Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) for the first-line treatment of patients with stage III-IV or recurrent endometrial carcinoma whose cancer was either mismatch repair proficient or mismatch repair deficient, the Keytruda regimen demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival for patients, regardless of mismatch repair status.
FDA approved Keytruda (pembrolizumab) and Keytruda Qlex (pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa-pmph) in combination with Padcev (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv), as neoadjuvant treatment and then continued after cystectomy as adjuvant treatment, for the treatment of adult patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. These approvals represent the first PD-1 inhibitor plus ADC regimens for this patient population.
