data-term-id=\"417\">T cells<\/span>. The drug blocks the PD-1 receptor, thus preventing the formation of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) complexes. This mechanism causes the activation of <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"631\">T cell<\/span> immune responses mediated against <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"289\">tumor<\/span> cells.<\/p>\n<p>On September 4, 2014, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved pembrolizumab as an innovative therapy for the treatment of <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1000\">metastatic<\/span> <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1670\">melanoma<\/span>, based on response rates demonstrated in clinical trial data from 173 melanoma patients in a cohort from the KEYNOTE-001 study.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the results of two other clinical trials (KEYNOTE-002 and KEYNOTE-006) have continued to show the benefit of pembrolizumab for the treatment of advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma.<\/p>\n<p>Pembrolizumab is now registered for the treatment of advanced melanoma (metastatic or unresectable) in many countries around the world, including Europe, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n<section class=\"textBlock imageLinkBlockTitle\">\n<h5 class=\"colour--primary\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Melanoma-metastasico\"><\/span>Metastatic melanoma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"imageLinkBlock\">\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<div class=\"imageLinkBlock__item__image\">\n<p>                        <img alt='metastasis__protectwyjqcm90zwn0il0_focusfillwzi5ncwymjisingildfd-3014225-9358683' src='https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/metastasis__ProtectWyJQcm90ZWN0Il0_FocusFillWzI5NCwyMjIsIngiLDFd-3014225.jpg'>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p-small\">Subcutaneous metastatic melanoma<\/p>\n<div class=\"imageLinkBlock__item__image\">\n<p>                        <img alt='metastatic-melanoma-01__protectwyjqcm90zwn0il0_focusfillwzi5ncwymjisingildfd-6690249-5297486' src='https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/metastatic-melanoma-01__ProtectWyJQcm90ZWN0Il0_FocusFillWzI5NCwyMjIsIngiLDFd-6690249.jpg'>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p-small\">Metastatic melanoma <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"clearfix imageLinkBlock\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El-estudio-KEYNOTE-001\"><\/span>The KEYNOTE-001 Study<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>the <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"914\">effectiveness<\/span> pembrolizumab was investigated in a multicenter, <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1749\">open<\/span>, randomized (1: 1), Phase 1b dose comparison study.<\/li>\n<li>The key eligibility criteria were unresectable or metastatic melanoma with disease progression and refractory to treatment with two or more doses of ipilimumab (3 mg \/ kg or more) and, if <em><span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1085\">BRAF<\/span><\/em>  V600 <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"870\">mutation<\/span>-positive, a BRAF or <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"614\">MEK inhibitor<\/span>and disease progression within 24 weeks after the last dose of ipilimumab.<\/li>\n<li>Patients were randomized to receive 2 mg \/ kg n = 89 or 10 mg \/ kg n = 84 of pembrolizumab every 3 weeks until unacceptable <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1160\">toxicity<\/span> or disease progression that was symptomatic.<\/li>\n<li>Assessment of tumor status was performed 12 weeks after the first dose of pembrolizumab and every 12 weeks thereafter.<\/li>\n<li>The main efficacy outcomes were duration of response and confirmed overall response rate (ORR) according to the Response Assessment Criteria in <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1128\">Solid<\/span> Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by a blinded independent central review.<\/li>\n<li>The ORR was 24% (95% CI: 15-34) in the 2 mg \/ kg arm, consisting of one complete response and 20 partial responses.<\/li>\n<li>Among the 21 patients with an objective response, three (14%) had disease progression at 2.8, 2.9, and 8.2 months, respectively, after the initial response.<\/li>\n<li>Duration of response in the remaining 18 patients (86%) ranged from 1.4 to 8.5 months and included eight patients with continuous responses of 6 months or longer.<\/li>\n<li>Similar ORR results were seen in the 10 mg \/ kg arm.<\/li>\n<li>The response rate did not differ significantly between patients who had previously received ipilimumab and those who had not.<\/li>\n<li>Table 1 presents <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1333\">Adverse reactions<\/span> identified from analyzes of 89 patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma who received 2 mg \/ kg of pembrolizumab every 3 weeks.<\/li>\n<li>The median duration of pembrolizumab exposure was 6.2 months (range: 1 day to 15.3 months) with a median of nine doses (range: 1\u201323).<\/li>\n<li>Pembrolizumab was discontinued in 6% of the 89 patients due to adverse reactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Table 1.
