Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
KEYMAKER-U01 Umbrella Master Study: Studies of Investigational Agents With Either Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Alone or With Pembrolizumab PLUS Chemotherapy in Participants With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-U01/KEYMAKER-U01)
Summary
This study is referred to as the "umbrella master protocol" for pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This pembrolizumab NSCLC umbrella master protocol uses a platform design and consists of this master screening study and three substudies. Each substudy will enroll a different population of NSCLC participants.
The goal of this umbrella master protocol is to screen potential participants with NSCLC for enrollment into 1 of 3 substudies. Participants must first enroll in this pembrolizumab master protocol study and undergo screening for NSCLC that will be used to assign them to participation in 1 of 3 pembrolizumab substudies.
Full Description
The following 3 pembrolizumab substudies will evaluate the efficacy of different investigational agents in combination with pembrolizumab given in sequence or in combination with pembrolizumab PLUS chemotherapy:
KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 1: A Phase 2, Umbrella Study with Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents with Pembrolizumab in Combination with Chemotherapy in Treatment-Naïve Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01A) - NCT04165070
KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 2: A Phase 2, Umbrella Study with Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Treatment Naïve Patients with PD-L1 Positive Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-3475-01B) - NCT04165083
KEYMAKER-U01 Substudy 3: A Phase 2, Umbrella Study with Rolling Arms of Investigational Agents in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Previously Treated with anti-PD-(L)1 Therapy (MK-3475-01C) - NCT04165096
