“KEYTRUDA has helped transform the way we treat some of the deadliest forms of cancer, yet we continue to pursue additional innovations that may benefit patients,” said Dr. Marjorie Green, senior vice president and head of oncology, global clinical development, Merck Research Laboratories. “It is very encouraging to see positive Phase 3 results evaluating this fixed-dose combination of subcutaneous pembrolizumab, which was administered, on average, in approximately 2-3 minutes and has the potential to improve the patient experience as well as increase access for patients and healthcare providers compared to intravenous administration. We plan to discuss these results with regulatory authorities worldwide as soon as possible.”
