Brief Summary:
In this China extension study, carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without pembrolizumab (MK-3475, KEYTRUDA®) will be administered to Chinese adults with first line metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The primary hypotheses are that treatment with pembrolizumab prolongs: 1) Progression-free Survival (PFS) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by a blinded central imaging vendor compared to placebo, and 2) Overall Survival (OS) in Chinese participants.
After analysis of interim results was conducted, the protocol was amended (Amendment 5) to allow participants the option to discontinue placebo in the control arm and to switch to pembrolizumab in the event of documented progressive disease as assessed by central review.
Detailed Description:
The MK-3475-407-China Extension Study enrolled a total of 125 participants, of which 15 participants have been also previously enrolled in the MK-3475-407 global study (NCT02775435). This China extension study did not include nano particle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) that was an option in the global base study, because nab-paclitaxel it is not yet approved for treatment of NSCLC in China.
