KeyForm-010: This study is evaluating different regimens of immunotherapy and targeted therapy in people with either cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or endometrial cancerA Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 2, Basket Study of MK-4280A, a Coformulation of Favezelimab (MK-4280) With Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Selected Solid Tumors (KeyForm-010)

Clinical summary

Summary

This study has two cohorts, and each cohort has two arms. Within each Cohort participants will be randomised into arms to receive treatment. Treatment cycles are 21 days in length.

Cohort A is evaluating a conformulation of two immunotherapies (favezelimab/pembrolizumab), compared to pembrolizumab immunotherapy alone, in people with cutaenous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC).

  • Participants in the favezelimab/pembrolizumab arm will receive coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab (800mg/200mg) via intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks for 3 cycles in the neoadjuvant period, and 14 cycles of adjuvant therapy. 
  • Participants in the pembrolizumab monotherapy arm will receive pembrolizumab (200mg) via IV infusion every 3 weeks in the neoadjuvant period and 14 cycles of adjuvant therapy. 

In both arms, participants who do not complete all 3 adjuvant cycles should have additional cycles in the adjuvant period so the total number of study intervention administrations is 17 treatment cycles. 

Cohort B is evaluating a targeted therapy called lenvatinib in combination with coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab, compared to lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab, in people with proficient in mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC).

  • Participants in the favezelimab/pembrolizumab + lenvatinib arm will receive coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab (800mg/200mg) via IV infusion every 3 weeks for up to 35 cycles PLUS lenvatinib (20mg) every day via oral capsule until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation criteria are met..
  • Participants in the pembrolizumab + lenvatinib arm will receive pembrolizumab (200mg) via IV infusion every 3 weeks fo rup to 35 cycles PLUS lenvatinib (20mg) every day via oral capsule until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation criteria are met.
