| NCT03665597 | Relative Bioavailability Study of Subcutaneous Injection Versus Intravenous Infusion of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in Participants With Advanced Melanoma (MK-3475-555/KEYNOTE-555) | PHASE1 | COMPLETED | 138 | — | — | Nov 19, 2018 | Dec 4, 2023 | Feb 10, 2025 | 15 | Australia, South Africa +2 |
AUC was defined as a measure of pembrolizumab exposure that was calculated as the product of plasma drug concentration and time. Blood samples were collected at designated time points and a pharmacokinetic (PK) model based on historical intravenous pembrolizumab PK data were used for the determination of the AUC of pembrolizumab. Geometric least-square mean (GM) and 95% confidence intervals were derived from mixed-effects model performed on natural log-transformed values. Data were reported by treatment received.
Cmax was defined as the maximum concentration of pembrolizumab observed in plasma following a single dose. Blood samples were collected at designated time points and a PK model based on historical intravenous pembrolizumab PK data were used for the determination of the AUC of pembrolizumab. GM and 95% confidence intervals were derived from mixed-effects model performed on natural log-transformed values. Data were reported by treatment received.
Blood samples were collected at designated time points and a population PK model based on historical intravenous pembrolizumab PK data was used for the determination of the F of pembrolizumab. Per protocol, an integrated population PK analysis was performed and combined data for Cohort A was reported.
Blood samples were collected at designated time points and a population PK model based on historical intravenous pembrolizumab PK data was used for the determination of the Ka of pembrolizumab. Per protocol, an integrated population PK analysis was performed and combined data for Cohort A was reported. Participants in Cohort B weren't analyzed, per protocol.
Blood samples were collected at designated time points for the determination of the Tmax of pembrolizumab.
Blood samples were collected at designated time points and a population PK model based on historical intravenous pembrolizumab PK data was used for the determination of the CL of pembrolizumab. Per protocol, an integrated population PK analysis was performed and combined data for Cohort A was reported.
Blood samples were collected at designated time points and a population PK model based on historical intravenous pembrolizumab PK data was used for the determination of the Vc of pembrolizumab. Per protocol, an integrated population PK analysis was performed and combined data for Cohort A was reported.
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had 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). Responses were based upon blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST 1.1. ORR was reported for participants in Cohort B.
