Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) monotherapy, followed by chemotherapy, followed by pembrolizumab consolidation. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the complete response (CR) rate at the end of study intervention according to Lugano 2014 response criteria is higher than conventional chemotherapy.

Primary Outcome

CR rate was assessed by BICR using Computed Tomography (CT) and PET scan according to Lugano 2014 response criteria (Cheson, B.D. et al, Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2014). At each timepoint, CR was determined by combining the anatomic response, metabolic response, and clinical data. The criteria for CR included complete metabolic (no/minimal 2-fluorodeoxyglucose \[FDG\] uptake) and radiologic response (target lesions regress to ≤1.5 cm in longest transverse diameter of a lesion) and no new les
