Pembrolizumab
Biologicalintravenous (IV) infusion
Other names: KEYTRUDA®, MK-3475
NCT Number: NCT04191135
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of olaparib (MK-7339) plus pembrolizumab (MK-3475) with chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab after induction with first-line chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The primary hypotheses are:
1. Olaparib plus pembrolizumab is superior to chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab with respect to progression-free survival (PFS). 2. Olaparib plus pembrolizumab is superior to chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab with respect to overall survival (OS).
As of Amendment 3, study enrollment was discontinued. Participants who were receiving benefit from the study intervention could continue treatment until criteria for discontinuation are met. Participants who are on study treatment or in follow-up phase will no longer have tumor response assessments by BICR.

PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum had to demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. PFS is reported based on the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data.
Time frame: Up to approximately 29 months
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up. OS is reported based on the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data.

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire developed to assess the QoL of cancer patients. Participant responses to the Global Health Status (GHS) question "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" (Item 29) and the QoL question "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" (Item 30) were each scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent), then summed. Summed raw scores were standardized by linear transformation so that scores ranged from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better overall outcome. Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 29 and 30 combined scores was calculated based on a constrained longitudinal data analysis (cLDA) model with scores as response variable with covariates for treatment by time interaction, stratification factors (response at randomization (CR/PR vs. SD), baseline CPS for PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 CPS<1 vs. PD-L1 CPS≥1) and BRCA status at randomization (BRCAm vs. BRCAwt)) as covariates.

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire developed to assess the QoL of cancer patients. Participant responses to 5 questions about their physical functioning are scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much), then summed. Summed raw scores were standardized by linear transformation so that scores ranged from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better overall outcome. The change from baseline in physical functioning (EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 1-5) score was calculated based on a cLDA model with scores as response variable with covariates for treatment by time interaction, stratification factors (response at randomization (CR/PR vs. SD), baseline CPS for PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 CPS<1 vs. PD-L1 CPS≥1) and BRCA status at randomization (BRCAm vs. BRCAwt)) as covariates.

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire developed to assess the QoL of cancer patients. Participant responses to 4 questions about their emotional functioning are scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much), then summed. Summed raw scores were standardized by linear transformation so that scores ranged from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better overall outcome. Change from baseline in emotional functioning (EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 21-24) score was calculated based on a cLDA model with scores as response variable with covariates for treatment by time interaction, stratification factors (response at randomization (CR/PR vs. SD), baseline CPS for PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 CPS<1 vs. PD-L1 CPS≥1) and BRCA status at randomization (BRCAm vs. BRCAwt)) as covariates.

EORTC-QLQ-BR23 is a 23-item breast cancer-specific companion module to the EORTC-QLQ-C30, consisting of functional scales (body image, sexual enjoyment, sexual functioning, future perspective) and symptom scales (systemic therapy side effects, upset by hair loss, arm symptoms, breast symptoms). Participant responses to 7 questions about their systemic therapy side effects are scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All, 4=Very Much). Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better quality of life. The change from baseline in systemic therapy side effects (EORTC QLQ-BR23 Items 1-4, 6, 7, and 8) score was calculated based on a cLDA model with scores as response variable with covariates for treatment by time interaction, stratification factors (response at randomization (CR/PR vs. SD), baseline CPS for PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 CPS<1 vs. PD-L1 CPS≥1) and BRCA status at randomization (BRCAm vs. BRCAwt)) as covariates.

The EQ-5D-5L is a questionnaire developed to assess health-related outcomes. The VAS is a component of the EQ-5D-5L that asks participants to rate their overall health on a vertical visual analogue scale, with the scale's ends labelled 'The best health you can imagine' (equivalent to a score of 0) and 'The worst health you can imagine' (equivalent to a score of 100). The change from baseline in VAS score was calculated based on a cLDA model with scores as response variable with covariates for treatment by time interaction, stratification factors (response at randomization (CR/PR vs. SD), baseline CPS for PD-L1 expression (PD-L1 CPS<1 vs. PD-L1 CPS≥1) and BRCA status at randomization (BRCAm vs. BRCAwt)) as covariates.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants who experience at least 1 AE is presented.
