Abstract Text

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Pembrolizumab Keytruda MK-3475 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor 148 PD-L1/PD-1 antibody 117 Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is an antibody against PD-1 that activates T-cell mediated anti-tumor immune response (PMID: 25977344). Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is approved in melanoma, SCLC, HNSCC, classical Hodgkin Lymphoma, PMBL, urothelial carcinoma, HCC, Merkel cell carcinoma, NMIBC, cutaneous SCC, MSI-H or dMMR or TMB high advanced solid tumors, NSCLC and CD274 (PD-L1)-positive NSCLC, esophageal SCC, cervical cancer, and TNBC, in combination with platnum-based chemo in NSCLC, with pemetrexed and platinum in non-sNSCLC with no EGFR or ALK mutations, with carboplatin and paclitaxel/nab-paclitaxel in sNSCLC, with axitinib or lenvatinib in RCC, with lenvatinib in endometrial carcinoma that is not MSI-H or dMMR, in combination with platinum and fluoropyrimidine-based chemo for esophageal or gastroesophageal carcinoma, in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab), fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemo for CD274 (PD-L1)-positive, HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemo for HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, for patients with CD274 (PD-L1)-positive (CPS>=1) cervical cancer, in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin for biliary tract cancer, in combination with chemoradiation for cervical cancer, and in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for endometrial carcinoma (FDA.gov).

MLH1 negative colorectal cancer sensitive Pembrolizumab FDA approved Actionable In a Phase III (KEYNOTE-177) trial that supported FDA approval, Keytruda (pembrolizumab) treatment as first-line therapy significantly improved median progression-free survival (16.5 vs 8.2 mo, HR=0.60, p=0.0002) compared to chemotherapy in patients with advanced microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR, often defined by the loss of MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, or MSH6 expression by IHC) colorectal cancer (PMID: 33264544; NCT02563002). 33264544 detail...
