11/ Huge thanks to all the investigators, my partner @tompowles1, to @Merck, and mostly to our patients/families, to whom we dedicate all our efforts! Balanced editorial by @MVossMD & @motzermd nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
10/ Safety findings were consistent with prior analyses (as all patients had d/c therapy since Dec 2020):
8/ Updated DFS results aligned with previous analyses: DFS benefit for pembro: HR 0.72 (95% CI 0.59 to 0.87), generally consistent across subgroups
7/ OS benefit was consistent across subgroups Of note, the OS benefit was consistent in the M0 intermediate-high risk pts (HR 0.59; 95% CI 0.40 to 0.87) while sample sizes & number of deaths were small in the M0 high risk pts and M1 NED, leading to wider CIs.
6/ A significant and clinically meaningful OS benefit was observed with adjuvant pembro vs placebo: HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.44-0.87; P = 0.005 At 48 months: 91% of pts receiving pembro were still alive vs 86% with placebo (5% absolute benefit)
5/994 pts enrolled: 496 pembro vs 498 placebo. Median time from rand. to data-cutoff (Sep 15 2023): 57.2 months (range 47.9-74.5, close to 5 years) Baseline characteristics:
4/ Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive pembrolizumab 200mg Q3W for 1 yr or placebo Primary endpoint: DFS (investigator) - met at 1st interim analysis, published in @NEJM 2021 (nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…) and @LancetOncol 2022 by partner @tompowles1 Key 2nd endpoint: OS : here!
3/ KEYNOTE-564 is a phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial - ccRCC - ECOG PS 0-1 - ≤12 weeks following surgery - Intermediate-high, high risk M0, or M1 NED (w/in 1 year of nephrectomy)
