Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study will consist of two parts.

In Part 1, the safety of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in combination with one of three different chemotherapies will be assessed in the treatment of locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), which has not been previously treated with chemotherapy.

In Part 2, the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab plus background chemotherapy will be assessed compared to the safety and efficacy of placebo plus background chemotherapy in the treatment of locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic TNBC, which has not been previously treated with chemotherapy.

The primary hypotheses are that:
  1. the combination of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy prolongs Progression-Free Survival (PFS) compared to placebo and chemotherapy in:
  • all participants,

  • participants with programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) ≥1 tumors, and

  • participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥10 tumors, and

  1. the combination of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy prolongs Overall Survival (OS) compared to placebo and chemotherapy in:
  • all participants,

  • participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1 tumors, and

  • participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥10 tumors.

    All randomly assigned participants who received at least 1 dose of study intervention were included in the group corresponding to the study intervention actually received.

    Title Part 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - All Participants
    Description Progression-free survival 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) based on assessments 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 of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD.
