Abstract Text | Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody against programmed death 1 (PD-1) that has antitumor activity in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with increased activity in tumors that express programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1).In this open-label, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned 305 patients who had previously untreated advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 expression on at least 50% of tumor cells and no sensitizing mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene or translocation of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene to receive either pembrolizumab (at a fixed dose of 200 mg every 3 weeks) or the investigator's choice of platinum-based chemotherapy. Crossover from the chemotherapy group to the pembrolizumab group was permitted in the event of disease progression. The primary end point, progression-free survival, was assessed by means of blinded, independent, central radiologic review. Secondary end points were overall survival, objective response rate, and safety.Median progression-free survival was 10.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.7 to not reached) in the pembrolizumab group versus 6.0 months (95% CI, 4.2 to 6.2) in the chemotherapy group (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.37 to 0.68; P<0.001). The estimated rate of overall survival at 6 months was 80.2% in the pembrolizumab group versus 72.4% in the chemotherapy group (hazard ratio for death, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.41 to 0.89; P=0.005). The response rate was higher in the pembrolizumab group than in the chemotherapy group (44.8% vs. 27.8%), the median duration of response was longer (not reached [range, 1.9+ to 14.5+ months] vs. 6.3 months [range, 2.1+ to 12.6+]), and treatment-related adverse events of any grade were less frequent (occurring in 73.4% vs. 90.0% of patients), as were grade 3, 4, or 5 treatment-related adverse events (26.6% vs. 53.3%).In patients with advanced NSCLC and PD-L1 expression on at least 50% of tumor cells, pembrolizumab was associated with significantly longer progression-free and overall survival and with fewer adverse events than was platinum-based chemotherapy.

CD274 over exp | lung non-small cell carcinoma | predicted - sensitive | Pembrolizumab | Phase III | Actionable | In a Phase III trial (KEYNOTE-024), treatment with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) improved progression-free survival (10.3 vs 6.0 months, HR=0.50, p<0.001) and estimated 6-month overall survival rate (80.2% vs 72.4%, HR=0.60, p<0.001) compared to chemotherapy in untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with CD274 (PD-L1) expression on over 50% of tumor cells, and with no EGFR activating mutations or ALK rearrangement (PMID: 27718847; NCT02142738). | 27718847 |
CD274 positive | lung non-small cell carcinoma | sensitive | Pembrolizumab | FDA approved - On Companion Diagnostic | Actionable | In a Phase II/III trial (KEYNOTE-010) that supported FDA approval, treatment with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) resulted in improved overall survival (10.4 months at 2mg/kg, 12.7 months at 10mg/kg, vs 8.5 months) compared to chemotherapy in previously treated non-small cell lung cancer patients with CD274 (PD-L1) expression in over 1% of tumor cells (PMID: 26712084, PMID: 27026676, PMID: 27718847; NCT01905657). | 26712084 27026676 27718847 detail... |
