Study of Pembrolizumab With Maintenance Olaparib or Maintenance Pemetrexed in First-line (1L) Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (MK-7339-006, KEYLYNK-006)

September 6, 2023 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Phase 3 Study of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Pemetrexed/Platinum (Carboplatin or Cisplatin) Followed by Pembrolizumab and Maintenance Olaparib vs Maintenance Pemetrexed in the First-Line Treatment of Participants With Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

The current study will compare pembrolizumab (MK-3475) plus maintenance olaparib, vs pembrolizumab plus maintenance pemetrexed for the treatment of nonsquamous NSCLC. The study's 2 primary hypotheses are: 1. Pembrolizumab plus maintenance olaparib is superior to pembrolizumab plus maintenance pemetrexed with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent clinical review (BICR) and 2. Pembrolizumab plus maintenance olaparib is superior to pembrolizumab plus maintenance pemetrexed with respect to overall survival (OS).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study has 2 phases: an Induction Phase (4 Cycles) and a Maintenance Phase (Up to 31 cycles of pembrolizumab). In the Induction Phase, participants receive pembrolizumab plus pemetrexed plus platinum (carboplatin or cisplatin). In the Maintenance Phase, participants with a partial or complete disease response or with stable disease after completing four cycles of induction therapy and who meet eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to receive pembrolizumab plus maintenance olaparib OR pembrolizumab plus maintenance pemetrexed. In the Maintenance Phase, participants receive pembrolizumab for up to 31 cycles plus maintenance olaparib OR maintenance pemetrexed until progressive disease (PD), intolerable toxicities, or physician decision.

For the Induction Phase, participants receive 4 cycles:

Pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenous (IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (cycles 1 through 4) PLUS Pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (cycles 1 through 4) PLUS Platinum chemotherapy, investigator's choice: carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 5 mg/mL/min IV on Day 1 of 21-day cycle (Cycles 1 through 4) OR cisplatin 75 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 of 21-day cycle (Cycles 1 through 4).

If the participant has a complete or partial response or stable disease to induction therapy, the participant is randomized to maintenance therapy.

For the Maintenance Phase, participants receive Pembrolizumab IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 31 cycles PLUS maintenance oral olaparib 300 mg twice daily.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
Overall survival is the time from the date of randomization to death due to any cause.
Up to approximately 5 years
Progression-free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: Baseline (at randomization) and Week 18 post-randomization
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to the question "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" are scored on a 7-point scale (1= Very poor to 7=Excellent). Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better overall health status. The change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Items 29 and 30 scores will be presented.
Baseline (at randomization) and Week 18 post-randomization
Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study.
Up to approximately 5 years
Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment Due to Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study.

The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a lung cancer-specific supplemental questionnaire used in combination with the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Participant responses to the question "How much did you cough?" are scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A lower score indicates a better outcome.

Time Frame: Baseline (at randomization) and Week 18 post-randomization
The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to 5 questions about their physical functioning are scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better quality of life.
