Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Endometrial Cancer
Solid Tumor
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06036836
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pathological complete response (pCR) rate of coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab (MK-4280A) or pembrolizumab as assessed by blinded central pathology review (BICR) in participants with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) \[Cohort A\] and to evaluate lenvatinib in combination with coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab with respect to objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by investigator in participants proficient in mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) \[Cohort B\].

Favezelimab/Pembrolizumabfavezelimab/pembrolizumabParticipants will receive coformulated favezelimab/pembrolizumab (800 mg/200 mg) via an intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 3 cycles in the neoadjuvant period and 14 cycles of adjuvant therapy. Each cycle is 21 days. Participants who do not complete all 3 neoadjuvant cycles should have additional cycles in the adjuvant period so that the total number of study intervention administrations is 17 treatment cycles.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical Benefit Rate - Cohort AUp to approximately 22 months

Clinical benefit rate is defined as the percentage of participants who have clinical benefit. Clinical benefit is defined as major pathologic response (mPR) or pCR in participants who undergo surgery, or clinical complete response (cCR) \[defined as residual tumor not visible on clinical exam nor on imaging and a negative biopsy, if biopsy is available, in participants who decline surgery.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Investigator - Cohort BUp to approximately 21 months

The ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have an OR per investigator assessment. The OR is defined as a Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) will be presented.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) - Cohort AUp to approximately 22 months

pCR is defined as complete absence of viable tumor in the surgical resection sample as assessed by local review of the pathology results. Number of Cohort A participants with pCR will be reported.

Major Pathologic Response (mPR) - Cohort AUp to approximately 22 months

mPR is defined as the presence of ≤10% of viable tumors in the surgical resection sample as assessed by local review of the pathology results. The number of Cohort A participants with mPR will be reported.

ORR per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by Investigator - Cohort AUp to approximately 22 months

The ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have an OR per investigator assessment. The OR is defined as a Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) will be presented.

Number of participants with an adverse event (AE) - Cohorts A and BUp to approximately 41 months

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.

Number of participants discontinuing from study therapy due to AE - Cohorts A and BUp to approximately 41 months

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported.

Number of participants experiencing perioperative complications - Cohort AUp to approximately 18 weeks

The number of participants who experience perioperative complications will be assessed.

Number of participants with an AE that precludes surgery - Cohort AUp to approximately 2 months

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. The number of Cohort A participants with an AE that precludes surgery will be reported.
