Health Canada Approves KEYTRUDA® for the treatment of adult patients with FIGO 2014 Stage III-IVA cervical cancer, in combination with chemoradiotherapy (CRT)¹ Français

KIRKLAND, QC, July 21, 2025 /CNW/ -- Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, announced today that Health Canada has granted approval for KEYTRUDA ® (pembrolizumab), Merck's anti-PD-1 therapy, in combination with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for the treatment of FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) 2014 Stage III-IVA cervical cancer. 1,2 The approval is based on data from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-A18 trial, also known as ENGOT-cx11/GOG-3047, which demonstrated statistically significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients randomized to KEYTRUDA ® in combination with CRT compared with patients randomized to placebo plus CRT. 3 "The approval of KN-A18 is an important addition to the treatment of gynecological cancers, as it has demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with FIGO 2014 Stage III-IVa," stated Shannon Salvador, Gynecologic Oncologist at the Jewish General Hospital and President of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology of Canada. 4"This recent approval adds another therapeutic option for patients in an important disease space." "This approval marks a pivotal moment for patients, as it represents the first indication in Canada for KEYTRUDA ® in combination with chemoradiotherapy," said André Galarneau, PhD, Executive Director & Vice President, Oncology Business Unit at Merck Canada. "Reaffirming our commitment to cervical cancer, we are eager to continue expanding treatment options for patients impacted by this disease." 5 About KEYNOTE-A18 / ENGOT-cx11/GOG-3047 KEYNOTE-A18 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial ( NCT04221945). 2 The trial investigated the efficacy of pembrolizumab in combination with CRT (cisplatin and external beam radiation therapy [EBRT] followed by brachytherapy [BT]) for the treatment of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. 1 The trial enrolled 1,060 newly diagnosed patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix defined as FIGO 2014 stage IB2 to IIB with positive lymph nodes or stage III to IVA regardless of nodal status. 3 There were 599 patients with FIGO 2014 Stage III-IVA. Randomization was stratified by planned type of EBRT (Intensity modulated radiation therapy [IMRT] or volumetric modulated arc therapy [VMAT] vs. non IMRT and non VMAT), stage at screening of cervical cancer (FIGO 2014 Stage IB2 IIB vs. FIGO 2014 Stage III-IVA), and planned total radiotherapy dose (EBRT + brachytherapy dose of <70 Gy vs. ≥70 Gy as per equivalent dose [EQD2]). 1 Patients were randomized (1:1) to one of two treatment arms: Pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks (5 cycles) concurrent with cisplatin 40 mg/m2 IV weekly (5 cycles, an optional sixth infusion could be administered per local practice) and radiotherapy (EBRT followed by BT), followed by pembrolizumab 400 mg IV every 6 weeks (15 cycles). 1,3 Placebo IV every 3 weeks (5 cycles) concurrent with cisplatin 40 mg/m2 IV weekly (5 cycles, an optional sixth infusion could be administered per local practice), and radiotherapy (EBRT followed by BT), followed by placebo IV every 6 weeks (15 cycles). 1,3 Treatment continued until RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) v1.1-defined progression of disease as determined by investigator or unacceptable toxicity. 1 Assessment of tumour status was performed every 12 weeks from completion of CRT for the first two years, followed by every 24 weeks in year 3, and then annually. The major efficacy outcome measures were PFS as assessed by investigator according to RECIST v1.1, modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ, or histopathologic confirmation, and OS. 1 The trial demonstrated statistically significant improvements in both PFS (HR (Hazard Ratio) 0.70; 95% CI (confidence interval): 0.55–0.89; p = 0.002) and OS (HR 0.67; 95% CI: 0.50–0.90; p = 0.004) in the overall population. In an exploratory subgroup analysis for the 459 patients (43%) with FIGO 2014 Stage IB2–IIB disease, the PFS and OS HR estimates were 0.91 (95% CI: 0.63–1.32) and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.55–1.44), respectively, suggesting that the improvements in PFS and OS observed in the overall population were primarily driven by the later-stage subgroup of patients with FIGO 2014 Stage III–IVA disease. The efficacy results in the exploratory subgroup analysis of 599 patients with FIGO 2014 Stage III-IVA disease showed that pembrolizumab plus CRT demonstrated improvements in PFS (Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.59; 95% CI 0.43, 0.81) and OS (HR 0.58; 95% CI 0.40, 0.85) in the overall population. 1 For the FIGO 2014 Stage III-IVA population, the most common treatment-related adverse events (reported in at least 20% of patients) were anemia, nausea, diarrhea, white blood cell count decreased, neutrophil count decreased, vomiting, platelet count decreased, and hypothyroidism. 6 For complete information, refer to the KEYTRUDA ® product monograph. About cervical cancer Cervical cancer forms in the cells lining the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. 7 Despite concerted efforts in screening and prevention across Canada, cervical cancer has become the fastest growing cancer type in females. 8,9 In 2024 alone, it was estimated that there were approximately 1,600 women diagnosed with cervical cancer and an estimated 400 deaths as a result of the disease. 10 About KEYTRUDA ® KEYTRUDA ® is an anti-programmed death receptor-1 (anti-PD-1) therapy that works by helping increase the ability of the body's immune system to help detect and fight tumour cells. KEYTRUDA ® is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby activating T lymphocytes which may affect both tumour cells and healthy cells. 11,12,13 KEYTRUDA ® was first approved in Canada in 2015 and currently has indications in several disease areas, including advanced renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal cancer, endometrial carcinoma, cervical cancer, esophageal cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, melanoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. 14 About Merck At Merck, known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, we are unified around our purpose: We use the power of leading-edge science to save and improve lives around the world.
