Neoadjuvant KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) Approved in China in Combination With Chemo, Then Continued as Monotherapy as Adjuvant Treatment for Patients With Resectable Stage II, IIIA or IIIB NSCLC
“This approval marks KEYTRUDA’s fourth lung cancer indication in China, embarking on a new journey of treating certain patients with earlier stage non-small cell lung cancer,” said Anna Van Acker, Senior Vice President of MSD and President of MSD in China. “KEYTRUDA has established an important role in immunotherapy for advanced NSCLC with its three previously approved indications in China, but there are still significant unmet medical needs for certain patients with earlier stage NSCLC, as lung cancer remains China’s leading cause of cancer incidence and mortality. We are thrilled to introduce this new treatment option and remain committed to advancing innovation to help more Chinese patients.”
