Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (MK-3475-087/KEYNOTE-087)

ORR is the percentage of participants who had a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) prior to disease progression based on the International Working Group (IWG) criteria using blinded independent central review (BICR). CR is the disappearance of all evidence of disease and PR is the regression of measurable disease and no new sites. The point estimate and 95% 2-sided exact confidence interval (CI) used the Clopper-Pearson method. An exact binomial test was conducted for each cohort versus a fixed control rate for each cohort. It is hypothesized that ORR will be greater than 20% in each of the 3 cohorts.

An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study

ORR is the percentage of participants who had a CR or PR prior to disease progression based on the Lugano criteria using BICR. CR is the disappearance of all evidence of disease and PR is the regression of measurable disease and no new sites.

ORR is the percentage of participants who had a CR or PR prior to disease progression assessed by the investigator using IWG criteria. CR is the disappearance of all evidence of disease and PR is the regression of measurable disease and no new sites. The point estimate and 95% 2-sided exact confidence interval (CI) used the Clopper-Pearson method. An exact binomial test was conducted for each cohort versus a fixed control rate for each cohort.

CRR is the percentage of participants with complete remission as demonstrated by disappearance of all evidence of disease in the bone marrow, spleen, liver, and lymph nodes based on the IWG criteria using BICR. The analysis consisted of the point estimate and 95% 2-sided exact CI, separately by Cohort using the Clopper-Pearson method. Additional analyses were based on site assessment and by central review using the Lugano (2014) criteria.

PFS is the time from first dose to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first based on BICR. For those who have PD, the true date of disease progression was approximated by the date of the first assessment at which PD is objectively documented per IWG criteria, regardless of discontinuation of study drug. Death is always considered as a confirmed PD event. The non-parametric Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the PFS curve with missing data censored at last assessment.

DOR for the subgroup of participants who achieved a CR or PR by independent central review, is the time from start of the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of PD or to death due to any cause, whichever comes first based on BICR. CR is the disappearance of all evidence of disease and PR is the regression of measurable disease and no new sites. The analysis used the Kaplan-Meier method, with participants with response censored at their last assessment, and there was no progressive disease at the time of the last disease assessment.

OS is the time from the first dose to death due to any cause. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival curve, separately by Cohort with missing data censored at last assessment.
