A Study of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Cisplatin and Pemetrexed in Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) (MK-3475-A17)

NCT04153565

Description:

This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, study of pembrolizumab (PBZ) in combination with cisplatin (CIS) and pemetrexed (PMX) in treatment of naïve participants with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in Japanese participants. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of PBZ in combination with CIS and PMX. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with PBZ in combination with CIS and PMX.

             participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous (neo) adjuvant therapies
             to ≤Grade 1 or baseline. Participants with ≤Grade 2 neuropathy may be eligible.

             first dose of trial treatment.

          -  Completed palliative radiotherapy within 7 days of the first dose of trial treatment.

             o Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require
             corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of Participants Who Experience a Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) Per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (AEs), Version 5.0 (CTCAE)
Time Frame:Up to 3 weeks
Safety Issue:
Description:DLTs will be assessed during the first cycle (21 days) and are defined as Grade (Gr) 4 hematologic toxicities (any period), except neutropenia and febrile neutropenia. Gr 4 neutropenia lasting >7 days despite appropriate supportive treatment. Gr 4 febrile neutropenia (any period) only if the event is considered as clinically significant for the participant deemed by investigator and sponsor. Any Gr 4 non-hematologic toxicity (except laboratory test abnormal including transient electrolyte abnormalities). Any Gr 3 non-hematologic toxicity lasting >72 hours despite appropriate supportive treatment (not laboratory). Clinical test value abnormality is any Gr 4 laboratory test value abnormality. Any Gr 3 laboratory test value abnormality lasting >7 days. The start of the second course is delayed by more than 2 weeks (more than 35 days after the first dose) due to toxicity related to study procedures or any Gr 5.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Objective Response Rate (ORR) per modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) as Assessed by Investigator
Time Frame:Up to approximately 31 months
Safety Issue:
Description:ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions). The percentage of participants who experience a CR or PR based on modified RECIST will be presented
Measure:Disease Control Rate (DCR) per modified RECIST as Assessed by Investigator
Time Frame:Up to approximately 31 months
Safety Issue:
Description:DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) or Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD.
Measure:Duration of Response (DOR) per modified RECIST as Assessed by Investigator
Time Frame:Up to approximately 31 months
Safety Issue:
Description:For participants who demonstrate a confirmed complete response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions) or confirmed Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death.
