    KEYNOTE-689 marks the first positive trial in more than two decades for patients with resected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) Results to be presented at American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025 during a Plenary Session and included in official meeting press program Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, today announced results from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-689 trial evaluating KEYTRUDA ® (pembrolizumab), Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, as a perioperative treatment regimen for patients with stage III or IVA, resected, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC). Results at the first interim analysis of the trial showed KEYTRUDA significantly improved event-free survival (EFS) as part of a perioperative treatment regimen with adjuvant standard of care (SOC) radiotherapy with or without cisplatin compared to adjuvant standard of care (SOC) radiotherapy with or without cisplatin

    ABSTRACTIntroduction. Rare solid tumors account for one-quarter of cancers among adults in the United States, but few resources have been devoted to their treatment. We evaluated the efficacy of pembrolizumab, a programmed cell death-1 inhibitor, in patients with rare solid tumors.Methods. We conducted a phase 2 basket trial that included patients with rare, advanced tumors. Patients were enrolled in the study in nine tumor-specific and a 10th cohort of miscellaneous rare histologies. Patients received pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 21 days. The primary endpoint was the non-progression rate at 27 weeks per immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). The secondary endpoints were confirmed objective response (immune-related complete response [irCR] or partial response [irPR]), clinical benefit (irCR, irPR, or immune-related stable disease [irSD] ≥ 4 months), safety, and tolerability. Pretreatment biopsy specimens were examined for programmed cell death

    Black patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer received immunotherapy less frequently than patients of other racial or ethnic backgrounds, according to results of a retrospective cohort study.However, patients who received immunotherapy achieved similar survival outcomes regardless of race or ethnicity.
