Overview
Brief Summary
This was a Phase III study of pembrolizumab plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy with or without canakinumab in previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous and squamous NSCLC participants.
Detailed Description
The study primarily assessed the safety and tolerability (safety run-in Part A) of pembrolizumab plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy with canakinumab, and then, the efficacy (double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Part B) of pembrolizumab plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy with or without canakinumab.
