Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Versus Chemotherapy in Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR) Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Carcinoma (MK-3475-C93/KEYNOTE-C93/GOG-3064/ENGOT-en15) (NCT05173987)

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase3 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of treatment with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) compared to a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel in women with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma who have not previously been treated with prior systemic chemotherapy. The primary study hypotheses are that pembrolizumab is superior to the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel with respect to Progression Free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) and Overall Survival (OS).

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (12 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (18 items).
