MSH6 negative | pancreatic cancer | sensitive | Pembrolizumab | Guideline | Actionable | Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is included in guidelines as second or later-line therapy for patients with metastatic microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR, often defined by the loss of MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, or MSH6 expression by IHC) pancreatic cancer (PMID: 37678671; ESMO.org). | detail... 37678671 |
MSH6 negative | pancreatic cancer | sensitive | Pembrolizumab | Phase II | Actionable | In a Phase II trial (KEYNOTE-158), Keytruda (pembrolizumab) treatment resulted in an objective response rate of 18.2% (4/22, 1 complete response and 3 partial responses), a duration of response that was not reached, a median progression-free survival of 2.1 mo, and a median overall survival of 3.7 mo in patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR, defined by the loss of MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, or MSH6 expression by IHC) pancreatic cancer (PMID: 35680043; NCT02628067). | 35680043 |
