A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pembrolizumab Plus Investigational Agents in Combination With Etoposide and Cisplatin or Carboplatin for the First-Line Treatment of Participants With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (KEYNOTE-B99)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of investigational agents (MK-4830, boserolimab (MK-5890) and lenvatinib (MK-7902)) in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and etoposide/platinum chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of participants with extensive-stage small cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC). No formal hypothesis testing will be performed for this study.
• Has histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) in need of first-line therapy
• Has ES-SCLC defined as Stage IV (T any, N any, M1a/b/c) by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, Eighth Edition
• Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for at least the time needed to eliminate each study intervention after the last dose of study intervention. The length of time required to continue contraception for each study intervention is as follows: Lenvatinib (7 days); Etoposide, Cisplatin, or Carboplatin (180 days) and Pembrolizumab, MK-4830, or (no contraception measures); refrain from donating sperm plus either be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent or must agree to use contraception per protocol unless confirmed to be azoospermic
• A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: Is not a woman/women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or is a WOCBP and uses a contraceptive method that is highly effective with low user dependency or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis), during the intervention period and for at least the time needed to eliminate each study intervention after the last dose of study intervention and agrees not to donate eggs to others or freeze/store for her own use for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The length of time required to continue contraception for each study intervention is as follows: Lenvatinib (30 days), Etoposide, Cisplatin, or Carboplatin (180 days), and Pembrolizumab, MK-4830, or Boserolimab (120 days)
• A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 24 hours (urine test) or 72 hours (serum test) before the first dose of study intervention
• Abstains from breastfeeding during the study intervention period and for at least 120 days after study intervention
• Has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by local site investigator/radiology and verified by blinded independent central review (BICR)
• Submits an archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core, incisional, or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated where such sample exist
• Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 assessed within 7 days before randomization
• Has adequate organ function within 10 days before the first dose of study intervention
• Has adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with or without antihypertensive medications, defined as BP ≤150/90 mm Hg with no changes in antihypertensive medications within 1 week before randomization
