Pembrolizumab and First-Line Treatment of Metastatic NSCLC • Pembrolizumab: anti–PD-1 monoclonal antibody with antitumor activity
against lung cancer and several other tumors, as well as a favorable
safety profile
• As monotherapy: significantly improves OS over platinum-doublet
chemotherapy for metastatic NSCLC with PD-L1 TPS ≥50%, with a benefit
observed for both squamous and nonsquamous histology1
• In combination with pemetrexed and platinum: significantly improves OS
over pemetrexed and platinum alone and has a manageable safety profile
for metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC, irrespective of PD-L1 TPS2
• Evaluation of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in metastatic squamous
NSCLC is a logical next step

KEYNOTE-407 Study Design (NCT02775435)
Key Eligibility Criteria
• Untreated stage IV NSCLC with squamous histology
• ECOG PS 0 or 1
• Provision of a sample for PD-L1 assessment
• No symptomatic brain metastases
• No pneumonitis requiring systemic steroids
Pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W +Carboplatin AUC 6 Q3W +

Stratification Factors
• PD-L1 expression (TPSa <1% vs ≥1%)
• Choice of taxane(paclitaxel vs nab-paclitaxel)
• Geographic region(east Asia vs rest of world)
Optional Crossoverb
Pembrolizumab200 mg Q3W
for up to 35 cyclesPDb
BICR, blinded independent central radiologic review. aPercentage of tumor cells with membranous PD-L1 staining assessed using the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay.bPatients could crossover during combination therapy or monotherapy. To be eligible for crossover, PD must have been verified by BICR and all safety criteria had to be met.
End points
• Primary: PFS (RECIST v1.1, BICR) and OS
• Secondary: ORR and DOR (RECIST v1.1, BICR), safety
Statistical Considerations
• First analysis of PFS and OS• Planned to occur after ~332 PFS events
observed• Statistical methods
– Difference in OS and PFS: stratified log-rank test
• Data cutoff date: Apr 3, 2018– External DMC meeting: May 21, 2018– Patients with a PFS event: 349– Superiority thresholds (one-sided): 0.008 for PFS,
0.0029 for OS– Median follow-upa: 7.8 months (range, 0.1-19.1)
All interim analyses reviewed by external, independent data monitoring committee. aDefined as the time from randomization to the date of death or data cut-off, whichever occurred first.
Second Interim Analysis• Planned enrollment: 560 patients– Actual enrollment: 559 patients
• Study has at least 90% power for PFS and 85% power for OS with a target HR of 0.70
• Protocol specified 3 interim analyses (IA) before the final analysis
• Overall alpha for study: strictly controlled at one-sided 2.5% using the graphical method of Mauer and Bretz
Analysis End Points Planned Timing
IA1 ORR ~200 patients followed for ~28 wk
IA2 PFS and OS ~332 PFS events
IA3 PFS and OS ~415 PFS events
Final OS ~361 deaths

Summary and Conclusions• Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy significantly improved OS (HR 0.64) over
chemotherapy alone– Benefit was observed irrespective of PD-L1 TPS: HR 0.61 for TPS <1%, 0.57 for TPS 1-49%,
and 0.64 for TPS ≥50%
• PFS (HR 0.56) and ORR (P = 0.0004) were also improved with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy and responses were more durable
• AE frequency and severity were mostly similar between arms– Observed events consistent with known safety profiles of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy,
with no new safety signals identified– Rates of discontinuation due to AEs were higher in the pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy
arm, but generally low overall– Immune-mediated AEs were more frequent in the pembrolizumab arm, with frequency and
severity consistent with those observed for pembrolizumab monotherapy
• Data suggest pembrolizumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel should become a new standard-of-care for first-line treatment of metastatic squamous NSCLC, irrespective of PD-L1 expression
