Pembrolizumab/Vibostolimab (MK-7684A) or Atezolizumab in Combination With Chemotherapy in First Line Treatment of Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-7684A-008/KEYVIBE-008)
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of MK-7684A in Combination With Etoposide and Platinum Followed by MK-7684A vs Atezolizumab in Combination With Etoposide and Platinum Followed by Atezolizumab for the First-Line Treatment of Participants With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (KEYVIBE-008)

Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will evaluate the combination of a fixed dose pembrolizumab/vibostolimab co-formulation (MK-7684A) with etoposide/platinum chemotherapy followed by MK-7684A compared to the combination of atezolizumab with etoposide/platinum chemotherapy followed by atezolizumab in the first-line treatment of Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC). The primary hypothesis is, with respect to overall survival, MK-7684A in combination with the background therapy of etoposide/platinum followed by MK-7684A, is superior to atezolizumab in combination with the background therapy of etoposide/platinum followed by atezolizumab.

- description
- Participants will receive 4 cycles (each cycle is 3 weeks) of a fixed-dose coformulation (FDC) of 200 mg pembrolizumab and 200 mg vibostolimab (MK-7684A) every 3 weeks (Q3W) via intravenous (IV) infusion, in combination with 100 mg/m\^2 etoposide, and platinum (Area Under the Curve \[AUC\] 5 mg/mL/min carboplatin or 75 mg/m\^2 cisplatin) chemotherapy Q3W for a total of approximately 12 weeks. This will be followed by additional cycles of MK-7684A (200 mg vibostolimab/200 mg pembrolizumab FDC) Q3W via IV infusion, until any of the conditions for discontinuation are met. To maintain the blinding, saline placebo will be administered on cycle 1 day 1 and then Q3W as needed beyond cycle 1.
