Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3745) in combination with chemotherapy (Cisplatin combined with 5-Fluorouracil [FP regimen] or oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine [CAPOX regimen]) versus placebo in combination with chemotherapy (FP or CAPOX regimens) in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma in adult Chinese participants. The primary hypotheses of this study are that pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to placebo plus chemotherapy in terms of overall survival (OS).


Description:

The China extension study will include participants previously enrolled in China in the global study for MK-3475-859 (NCT03675737) plus those enrolled during the China extension enrollment period. A total of approximately 231 Chinese participants will be enrolled.

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Overall Survival (OS) OS is the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Up to approximately 65 months
Secondary Progression-free Survival (PFS) PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Up to approximately 65 months
Secondary Duration of Response (DOR) DOR is determined by disease assessment and is defined as the time from first response (CR or PR) to disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Up to approximately 65 months
