Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pembrolizumab in Metastatic Anal Cancer (NCT NCT02919969)

NCT ID: NCT02919969

Last Updated: 2023-06-12

Results Overview

Overall response rate of pembrolizumab in metastatic anal cancer patients will be evaluated per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions. A complete response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 3 cycles on treatment. The median follow-up was 12.6 months. All registered patients received at least one infusion of pembrolizumab and were treated for a median of 2 months (range: 0-23 months)

Population: The analysis dataset is comprised of all treated patients.

Overall response rate of pembrolizumab in metastatic anal cancer patients will be evaluated per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions. A complete response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
