Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Monotherapy in Advanced Solid Tumors and Pembrolizumab Combination Therapy in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer/ Extensive-disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-3475-011/KEYNOTE-011)

This study using pembrolizumab (MK-3475) will be done in 5 parts. In Part A, successive participant cohorts with advanced solid tumors will receive pembrolizumab to assess the safety and tolerability of monotherapy. In Parts B, C, and D, participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will receive pembrolizumab in combination with either cisplatin/pemetrexed or carboplatin/pemetrexed (Part B); with either carboplatin/paclitaxel or carboplatin/nab-paclitaxel (Part C); or with ipilimumab (Part D) by non-random assignment to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy. In Part E, participants with untreated Extensive-disease (ED) Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) will receive pembrolizumab in combination with either cisplatin/etoposide, carboplatin/etoposide, or cisplatin/etoposide with prophylactic use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (lasting G-CSF [pegfilgrastim]) by non-random assignment to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (first dose and up to 4 weeks in Part A, 3 weeks in Parts B, C, E, and 6 weeks in Part D)

    The following toxicities graded per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v.4.0) were considered DLTs if judged by the investigator to be related to either study drug:

    • Grade (G) 4 neutropenia lasting >7 days
    • Grade 3 and Grade 4 febrile neutropenia
    • Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (<25,000/mm^3)
    • Grade 4 anemia
    • Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity (not laboratory)
    • Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity (not laboratory) lasting >3 days despite optimal supportive care
    • Any Grade 3 non-hematologic laboratory value if medical intervention is required to treat the participant or the abnormality persists for >7 days.
    • (Part D only) Missing the second dose of pembrolizumab (Cycle1 Day 22) due to drug-related adverse event
  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 51.3 months

    An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse event.

  3. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37.9 months

    An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Time frame: Cycle 28 Day 1 Pre-dose

    Ctrough was the lowest concentration of pembrolizumab in serum just before the next dose. Blood sampling was taken for Parts B, C, and E on Day 1 of Cycle 28 at pre-dose (prior to Cycle 28 infusion). Cycle 27 length for Parts B, C, and E was 21 days. Ctrough is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation (%CV). Per protocol, analysis for Cycle 27 Ctrough was only planned for Parts B, C, and E.

  35. Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From 0-28 Days (AUC 0-28) for Part A Cycle 1

    Time frame: At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)

    AUC 0-28 was the AUC of pembrolizumab from time zero to 28 days after dosing. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 pre-dose. Cycle 1 length was 28 days. AUC 0-28 is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for AUC 0-28 was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.

  36. Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From 0-Infinity (AUC 0-inf) for Part A Cycle 1

    Time frame: At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)

    AUC 0-inf was the AUC of pembrolizumab from time zero to infinity after dosing. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 pre-dose. Cycle 1 length was 28 days. AUC 0-inf is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for AUC 0-inf was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.

  37. Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Pembrolizumab Over Time for Part A Cycle 1

    Time frame: At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)

    t1/2 was the time required to divide the pembrolizumab concentration by two after reaching pseudo-equilibrium. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and pre-dose Day 1 of the following cycle prior to pembrolizumab infusion. Cycle 1 length A was 28 days. t1/2 is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for t1/2 was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.

  38. Volume of Distribution (Vz) of Pembrolizumab Over Time for Part A Cycle 1

    Time frame: At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)

    Vz was the volume of distribution during the terminal phase. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 prior to pembrolizumab infusion. Cycle 1 length A was 28 days. Vz is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for Vz was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.

  39. Clearance (CL) of Pembrolizumab Over Time for Part A Cycle 1

    Time frame: At designated timepoints in Cycle 1 for Part A (Up to approximately 28 days)

    CL was the volume of plasma from which pembrolizumab was eliminated per unit time. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 prior to pembrolizumab infusion. Cycle 1 length A was 28 days. CL is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for CL was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.
