Study Summary

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding chemotherapy to immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) versus immunotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab and chemotherapy may help stabilize lung cancer.

Primary Outcome

Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazards models will be used to estimate hazard ratios. Comparison of OS will use a logrank test stratified on the randomization stratification factors with a one-sided type I error rate of 0.025. Other comparisons of groups will be made using the log rank test and Cox modeling.
