简要总结

Pulse is a randomized non-inferiority phase III clinical trial assessing a new mode of immunotherapy administration based on increased interval time between 2 infusions as maintenance treatment in Pulse arm compared with the conventional administration in Control arm.

In both treatment arms, pembrolizumab alone or combined with pemetrexed is allowed as maintenance treatment. Indeed :

In Pulse arm : Pembrolizumab 200 mg will be administered to patients every 6 weeks (Q6W) plus, in the absence of contra-indication pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 will be administered every 3 weeks (Q3W).

In control arm : Pembrolizumab 200 mg will be administered to patients every 3 weeks (Q3W) or 400 mg every 6 weeks plus,in the absence of contra-indication pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 will be administered every 3 weeks (Q3W).

  • Post-menopausal women:

  • Patients using hormone replacement therapy must have had a complete cessation of menstruation for at least one year and be over 45 years of age or have evidence of menopause (FSH and estradiol levels) before starting hormone replacement therapy.
  • Women who are likely to procreate are eligible if they have a negative serum pregnancy test in the week before the first dose of treatment and preferably as close as possible to the first dose and if they agree to use an effective contraceptive method during the course of the study through 4 months after the last dose of study medication.
  • Sexually active males patients must agree to use condom during the study and for at least 4 months after the last study treatment administration. Also, it is recommended their women of childbearing potential partner use a highly effective method of contraception.
