Study Title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase III Study of Overall Survival Comparing Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) vs Platinum-Based Chemotherapy in Treatment-Naive Subjects With PD-L1–Positive Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC (KEYNOTE-042)
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
Purpose: To study participants with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive NSCLC, who will be randomized to receive single-agent pembrolizumab for up to 35 treatments or standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin plus paclitaxel or carboplatin plus pemetrexed for four to six 21-day cycles). The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab prolongs overall survival compared with standard-of-care chemotherapy.
Primary Outcome Measures: Overall survival [time frame: up to 2.5 years]
Principal Investigator: Medical Director, Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.; contact 1-888-577-8839
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02220894

Study Sponsor and Collaborators: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
Purpose: To study carboplatin and paclitaxel or nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) with or without pembrolizumab in adults with first-line metastatic squamous NSCLC
Primary Outcome Measures: Progression-free survival per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by a blinded central imaging vendor [time frame: up to approximately 2 years]; overall survival [time frame: up to approximately 2 years]
Principal Investigator: Medical Director, Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.; contact 1-888-577-8839

Study Title: A Phase III, Open-Label, Randomized Study of MPDL3280A (Anti–PD-L1 Antibody) in Combination With Carboplatin Plus Paclitaxel With or Without Bevacizumab Compared With Carboplatin Plus Paclitaxel Plus Bevacizumab in Chemotherapy-Naive Patients With Stage IV Nonsquamous NSCLC (IMpower 150)
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: Hoffmann-La Roche
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab compared with carboplatin plus paclitaxel and bevacizumab in chemotherapy-naive patients with stage IV nonsquamous NSCLC
Primary Outcome Measures: Progression-free survival as determined by the investigator using RECIST 1.1 [time frame: up to 2 years]
Principal Investigator: Clinical Trials, Hoffmann-La Roche; contact 888-662-6728, global.rochegenentechtrials@roche.com

Study Sponsor and Collaborators: Hoffmann-La Roche
Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) in combination with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel compared with treatment with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel in chemotherapy-naive patients with stage IV nonsquamous NSCLC
Primary Outcome Measures: Progression-free survival as determined by the investigator using RECIST 1.1 [time frame: up to 2.5 years]

Study Title: An Open-Label, Randomized Phase III Trial of Nivolumab, or Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab, or Nivolumab Plus Platinum-Doublet Chemotherapy vs Platinum-Doublet Chemotherapy in Subjects With Chemotherapy-Naive Stage IV or Recurrent NSCLC (CheckMate 227)
Study Sponsor and Collaborators: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd
Purpose: To show that nivolumab, or nivolumab plus ipilimumab, or nivolumab plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy improves progression-free and/or overall survival compared with chemotherapy in subjects with advanced lung cancer
Primary Outcome Measures: Overall survival [time frame: approximately 48 months]; progression-free survival [time frame: approximately 40 months]
