    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Overall Survival (OS)
    Overall Survival was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last known contact. OS was reported for each treatment arm. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm, with a protocol-specified analysis data cut-off date of 30-Nov-2020.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) per RECIST 1.1 based on blinded independent central review (BICR), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum had to demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. The sponsor allowed a maximum of 10 target lesions in total and 5 per organ on this study. PFS was reported for each treatment arm. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm, with a protocol-specified analysis data cut-off date of 30-Nov-2020.
    Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per RECIST 1.1
    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1. based upon BICR. The sponsor allowed a maximum of 10 target lesions in total and 5 per organ on this study. ORR was reported for each treatment arm. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm, with a protocol-specified analysis data cut-off date of 30-Nov-2020.
    Duration of Response (DOR) Per RECIST 1.1
    For participants who demonstrated a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, DOR was defined as the time from first documented evidence of confirmed CR or PR until PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. DOR for participants who had not progressed or died at the time of analysis was censored at the date of their last tumor assessment. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum had to demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. DOR was reported for each treatment arm. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm, with a protocol-specified analysis data cut-off date of 30-Nov-2020.
    Percentage of Participants Surviving (OS Rate) at 12 Months
    OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last known contact. The percentage of participants surviving (OS rate) at 12 months is reported for each treatment arm based on the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm, with a protocol-specified analysis data cut-off date of 30-Nov-2020.
    Percentage of Participants Surviving (OS Rate) at 24 Months
    OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last known contact. The percentage of participants surviving (OS rate) at 24 months is reported for each treatment arm based on the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm, with a protocol-specified analysis data cut-off date of 30-Nov-2020.
    Percentage of Participants With PFS (PFS Rate) at 6 Months
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD per RECIST 1.1 based on BICR, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum had to demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. The sponsor allowed a maximum of 10 target lesions in total and 5 per organ on this study. The percentage of participants with PFS (PFS rate) at 6 months is reported for each treatment arm based on the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm, with a protocol-specified analysis data cut-off date of 30-Nov-2020.
    Percentage of Participants With PFS (PFS Rate) at 12 Months
    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD per RECIST 1.1 based on BICR, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum had to demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. The sponsor allowed a maximum of 10 target lesions in total and 5 per organ on this study. The percentage of participants with PFS (PFS rate) at 12 months is reported for each treatment arm based on the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm, with a protocol-specified analysis data cut-off date of 30-Nov-2020.
    Percentage of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)
    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product was also an AE. The percentage of participants that experienced at least one AE was reported for each treatment arm. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm.
    Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE
    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product was also an AE. The percentage of participants that discontinued study treatment due to an AE was reported for each treatment arm. Per protocol, analysis for this outcome measure was performed for the first pembrolizumab course and for the standard treatment arm.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    This is a study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) versus standard treatment (capecitabine, gemcitabine, or docetaxel) for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab or Investigator's choice of standard treatment. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab treatment prolongs Overall Survival (OS) when compared to standard treatment. With Amendment 7 (effective 2-March-2022), upon study completion, participants will be discontinued and may be enrolled in an extension study.
