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

Mashup Score: 39Pembrolizumab in Patients with Advanced Miscellaneous Rare Cancers: Results from a Phase 2 Basket Trial - 2 month(s) ago
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
