Health-Related Quality-of-Life Results of the KEYNOTE-598 Trial in Patients with Metastatic NSCLC with PD-L1 Tumor Proportion Score ≥50%
ASCO 2021 – Lung Cancer
Findings from KEYNOTE-598 detected no difference in health-related quality of life or time to true deterioration in lung cancer symptoms comparing treatment with pembrolizumab + ipilimumab versus pembrolizumab + placebo in patients with previously untreated metastatic non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with PD-L1 tumor proportion score ≥50%.
