Merck KEYTRUDA Met Primary Endpoint in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

 


In Phase 3 KEYNOTE-394 Study, KEYTRUDA Showed Statistically Significant Improvement in OS Versus Placebo

Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-394 trial investigating KEYTRUDA, Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, in Asian patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) previously treated with sorafenib met its primary endpoint of overall survival (OS). The study found that treatment with KEYTRUDA plus best supportive care resulted in a statistically significant improvement in OS compared with placebo plus best supportive care. KEYNOTE-394 also met its key secondary endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR), with statistically significant improvements for KEYTRUDA compared with placebo. No new safety signals were observed. These results will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.
