Health Canada Approves Merck's KEYTRUDA® in Combination with Chemoradiotherapy for Advanced Cervical Cancer

Merck & Co. Inc., known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, has announced that Health Canada has approved KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) for the treatment of adult patients with FIGO 2014 Stage III-IVA cervical cancer in combination with chemoradiotherapy $(CRT)$. This approval is based on the positive results from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-A18/ENGOT-cx11/GOG-3047 trial, which demonstrated significant improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival for patients receiving the treatment compared to those receiving a placebo. This marks the first approval in Canada for KEYTRUDA® in combination with CRT, providing a vital new therapeutic option for patients battling this stage of cervical cancer.
