Background: Pembro is a 1L treatment for cisplatin-ineligible pts with UC. This post hoc landmark analysis evaluated clinical outcomes by response at 9 wk to 1L pembro monotherapy in pts with advanced/unresectable or metastatic UC from the single-arm phase 2 KEYNOTE-052 (NCT02335424) and the randomized phase 3 KEYNOTE-361 (NCT02853305) trials. Methods: Cisplatin-ineligible pts with advanced UC were enrolled in KEYNOTE-052 and received pembro (200 mg Q3W for ≤2 y). Platinum-eligible pts with advanced UC who had not previously received systemic chemotherapy (chemo) were enrolled in KEYNOTE-361 and randomly assigned 1:1:1 to receive pembro (200 mg Q3W for ≤2 y), pembro + chemo (1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine on d1 and d8 + cisplatin [70 mg/m2] or carboplatin [AUC 5] on d1 of each 3-wk cycle), or chemo. The primary analysis group included pembro monotherapy–treated pts; the sensitivity analysis group included pembro monotherapy–treated pts from KEYNOTE-052 and the choice of carboplatin subpopulation of pembro monotherapy–treated pts from KEYNOTE-361. Landmark analyses of OS by pts with CR, PR, SD, or PD per RECIST v1.1 by BICR at first imaging assessment (wk 9) were pooled for the ITT populations. Duration of CR/PR/SD and OS were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Data cutoffs were Sep 26, 2020 (KEYNOTE-052) and Apr 29, 2020 (KEYNOTE-361). Results: The primary analysis group included 681 pembro-treated pts (KEYNOTE-052, N = 374; KEYNOTE-361, N = 307); the sensitivity analysis group included 544 pembro-treated pts (KEYNOTE-052, N = 374; KEYNOTE-361, N = 170). Median time from randomization to cutoff was 51.9 mo (range, 22.0-65.3) and 53.7 mo (range, 22.0-65.3) for the primary and sensitivity analysis groups, respectively. Twenty-five pts (4.6%) had CR and 135 (24.6%) had PR (primary group); 17 pts (3.9%) had CR and 105 (24.1%) had PR (sensitivity group). Median DOR was 25.9 mo for pts with CR/PR at wk 9; pts with CR/PR or SD at wk 9 had longer OS than pts with PD at wk 9 (Table). Conclusions: In this post hoc analysis, pts with advanced UC in KEYNOTE-052 and KEYNOTE-361 with CR/PR at wk 9 had better clinical outcomes with pembro monotherapy than pts with SD or PD; 1L pembro monotherapy continues to show efficacy in advanced UC. Clinical trial information: NCT02335424 and NCT02853305.
