Approval Alert: European Commission Approves MSD’s Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) Plus Chemotherapy for Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Mar 28, 2024

Merck (MSD) announced that the European Commission approved Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) in combination with platinum-containing chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment, then continued as monotherapy as adjuvant treatment, for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).  The announcement comes after positive results over several measures from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-671 clinical trial.

The news follows US FDA approval for the same indication reported in 2023.
