Long-term survival from pembrolizumab (pembro) completion and pembro retreatment: Phase III KEYNOTE-006 in advanced melanoma.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
10013 Background: 5-year follow-up of the phase 3 KEYNOTE-006 study (NCT01866319) showed pembro improved OS vs ipilimumab (ipi) in patients (pts) with advanced melanoma. 3-y OS rate from pembro completion for pts who completed 2 y of pembro was 93.8%. Results with 8 mo of additional follow-up are presented to inform clinical care. Methods: Eligible pts with ipi-naive advanced melanoma, ≤1 prior therapy for BRAF-mutant disease, and ECOG PS 0 or 1 were randomized to pembro 10 mg/kg Q2W or Q3W for ≤2 y or ipi 3 mg/kg Q3W for 4 doses. Pts discontinuing pembro with CR, PR, or SD after ≥94 weeks were considered pts with 2-y pembro. Pts who stopped pembro with SD, PR or CR could receive ≤12 mo of additional pembro (2nd course) upon disease progression if still eligible. ORR was assessed per immune-related response criteria by investigator review. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Pembro arm data were pooled. Post hoc ITT efficacy analyses are shown. Results: Median follow-up from randomization to data cutoff (Jul 31, 2019) was 66.7 mo in the pembro and 66.9 mo in the ipi arms. OS outcomes are shown in Table. For the 103 pts with 2-y pembro (30 CR, 63 PR, 10 SD), median follow-up from completion was 42.9 mo (95% CI, 39.9-46.3).Median DOR was not reached. 36-mo OS from pembro completion was 100% (95% CI, 100.0-100.0) for pts with CR, 94.8% (95% CI, 84.7-98.3) for pts with PR, and 66.7% (95% CI, 28.2-87.8) for pts with SD. 15 pts received 2nd-course pembro; BOR in 1st course was 6 CR, 6 PR, and 3 SD. Median time from end of 1st course to start of 2ndcourse was 24.5 mo (range, 4.9-41.4). Median follow-up in pts who received 2nd-course pembro was 25.3 mo (range, 3.5-39.4). Median duration of 2nd-course pembro was 8.3 mo (range, 1.4-12.6). BOR on 2ndcourse was 3 CR, 5 PR (ongoing responses, 7 pts), 3 SD (ongoing, 2 pts), and 2 PD (1 death); 2 pts pending. Conclusions: Pembro improves the long-term survival vs ipi in pts with advanced melanoma, with all pts who completed therapy in CR still alive at 5 years. Retreatment with pembro at progression in pts who stopped at SD or better can provide additional clinical benefit in a majority of pts. Clinical trial information: NCT01866319. [Table: see text]

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
