Study summary

This study using pembrolizumab (MK-3475) will be done in 5 parts. In Part A, successive participant cohorts with advanced solid tumors will receive pembrolizumab to assess the safety and tolerability of monotherapy. In Parts B, C, and D, participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will receive pembrolizumab in combination with either cisplatin/pemetrexed or carboplatin/pemetrexed (Part B); with either carboplatin/paclitaxel or carboplatin/nab-paclitaxel (Part C); or with ipilimumab (Part D) by non-random assignment to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy. In Part E, participants with untreated Extensive-disease (ED) Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) will receive pembrolizumab in combination with either cisplatin/etoposide, carboplatin/etoposide, or cisplatin/etoposide with prophylactic use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (lasting G-CSF [pegfilgrastim]) by non-random assignment to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    The following toxicities graded per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v.4.0) were considered DLTs if judged by the investigator to be related to either study drug: * Grade (G) 4 neutropenia lasting \>7 days * Grade 3 and Grade 4 febrile neutropenia * Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (\<25,000/mm\^3) * Grade 4 anemia * Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity (not laboratory) * Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity (not laboratory) lasting \>3 days despite optimal supportive care * Any Grade 3 non-hematologic laboratory value if medical intervention is required to treat the participant or the abnormality persists for \>7 days. * (Part D only) Missing the second dose of pembrolizumab (Cycle1 Day 22) due to drug-related adverse event

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (first dose and up to 4 weeks in Part A, 3 weeks in Parts B, C, E, and 6 weeks in Part D)

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

    An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse event.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 51.3 months

  3. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE)

    An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse event.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 37.9 months

PrimaryNumber of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse event.

Cycle 27 length for Parts B, C, and E was 21 days. Ctrough is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation (%CV). Per protocol, analysis for Cycle 27 Ctrough was only planned for Parts B, C, and E.

SecondaryArea Under the Concentration Time Curve From 0-28 Days (AUC 0-28) for Part A Cycle 1

AUC 0-28 was the AUC of pembrolizumab from time zero to 28 days after dosing. Blood sampling was taken at the following timepoints: Part A Cycle 1 Day 1 at pre-dose, 0-30 minutes post-dose, and at 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, 504 hours after completion of pembrolizumab infusion and Day 1 of Cycle 2 pre-dose. Cycle 1 length was 28 days. AUC 0-28 is reported as geometric mean with a percent coefficient of variation. Per protocol, analysis for AUC 0-28 was only planned for Part A Cycle 1.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2013 to primary completion in Feb 2020, 82 months.

Results were first posted in Mar 2021, 1 year after primary completion.

Of 382 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, half reached primary completion within 47 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 69. This study's 82 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 588 studies reached it within 51 months; a quarter within 31 and three quarters within 74.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 22, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
