Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of Paclitaxel once per week with Pembrolizumab once every 3 weeks will help participants with this disease. Researchers want to find out the effectiveness of the drug combination to improve the delay of cancer progression or death and compare it to historical data for weekly paclitaxel alone, and assess safety.

Primary Outcome

6-month progression-free survival of the combination of weekly paclitaxel with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) for those patients who received treatment and were evaluable (had one response assessment scan by RECIST 1.1) . 6-month PFS: The proportion of patients at 6 months alive without progressive disease. Progressive Disease (PD): Sum of the longest diameters (SLD) increased by at least 20% from the smallest value on study (including baseline, if that is the smallest).
