Long-term safety of pembrolizumab in melanoma was analyzed in KEYNOTE-001, KEYNOTE-002, and KEYNOTE-006.
Analysis involved patients who received ≥1 pembrolizumab dose. Lead-time bias was addressed via landmark analyses in patients who were progression-free before day 147.
Adverse events (AEs) were analyzed for 1567 patients (median follow-up, 42.4 months). Most AEs were mild/moderate; grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs occurred in 17.7% of patients. Two pembrolizumab-related deaths occurred. Any-grade immune-mediated AEs (imAEs) occurred in 23.0%, most commonly hypothyroidism (9.1%), pneumonitis (3.3%), and hyperthyroidism (3.0%); grade 3/4 imAEs occurred in 6.9% of patients. Most imAEs occurred within 16 weeks of treatment. In landmark analysis, patients who did (n = 79) versus did not (n = 384) develop imAEs had similar objective response rates (ORRs) (64.6% versus 63.0%); median time to response (TTR), 5.6 months for both; median duration of response (DOR), 20.0 versus 25.3 months; median progression-free survival (PFS), 17.0 versus 17.7 months; median overall survival (OS), not reached (NR) versus 43 months (p = 0.1104). Patients who did (n = 17) versus did not (n = 62) receive systemic corticosteroids had similar ORRs (70.6% vs. 62.9%) and median TTR (6.4 vs. 5.6 months) but numerically shorter median PFS (9.9 vs. 17.0 months); median DOR, 14.2 months versus NR; median OS, NR for both.
These results enhance the knowledge base for pembrolizumab in advanced melanoma, with no new toxicity signals after lengthy follow-up of a large population. In landmark analyses, pembrolizumab efficacy was similar regardless of imAEs or systemic corticosteroid use.

对 KEYNOTE-001、KEYNOTE-002 和 KEYNOTE-006 中的 pembrolizumab 在黑色素瘤中的长期安全性进行分析。
分析纳入了接受至少 1 剂 pembrolizumab 的患者。通过对第 147 天前无进展的患者进行里程碑分析,解决了领先时间偏倚问题。
对 1567 例患者(中位随访时间 42.4 个月)进行了不良事件(AE)分析。大多数 AE 为轻度/中度;17.7%的患者出现 3/4 级治疗相关 AE。2 例 pembrolizumab 相关死亡事件发生。23.0%的患者发生任何级别免疫介导的 AE(imAE),最常见的是甲状腺功能减退(9.1%)、肺炎(3.3%)和甲状腺功能亢进(3.0%);6.9%的患者发生 3/4 级 imAE。大多数 imAE 发生在治疗后 16 周内。在里程碑分析中,发生(n=79)与未发生(n=384)imAE 的患者客观缓解率(ORR)相似(64.6% vs. 63.0%);中位反应时间(TTR)均为 5.6 个月;中位缓解持续时间(DOR)分别为 20.0 个月和 25.3 个月;中位无进展生存期(PFS)分别为 17.0 个月和 17.7 个月;中位总生存期(OS)均未达到(NR)和 43 个月(p=0.1104)。发生(n=17)与未发生(n=62)系统性皮质类固醇治疗的患者 ORR 相似(70.6% vs. 62.9%),TTR 中位数(6.4 个月 vs. 5.6 个月)也相似,但 PFS 中位数(9.9 个月 vs. 17.0 个月)较短;DOR 中位数分别为 14.2 个月和 NR;OS 中位数均未达到。
这些结果增强了对晚期黑色素瘤中 pembrolizumab 的认识基础,在对大量人群进行长时间随访后,没有新的毒性信号。在里程碑分析中,无论是否发生 imAE 或使用系统性皮质类固醇,pembrolizumab 的疗效均相似。
