NCT02853305
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab (pembro, MK-3475) with or without chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in participants with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer).
The primary hypotheses are that pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone with respect to Progression-free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in all participants, and that pembrolizumab alone is superior to chemotherapy alone with respect to OS in all participants and in participants with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive tumors (Combined Positive Score \[CPS\] ≥10%).
Detailed Description:
As specified by the protocol, the study hypotheses will be evaluated by comparing the pembro combo arm or pembro arm separately to the chemo arm.
