Expanded Gastric Cancer Indication for Keytruda Under FDA Review

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review the supplemental Biologics License Application for pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Findings showed the pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival (primary endpoint) compared with chemotherapy alone, regardless of PD-L1 expression.
