Coformulation of Pembrolizumab/Vibostolimab (MK-7684A) Versus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Monotherapy for Programmed Cell Death 1 Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Positive Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-7684A-003, KEYVIBE-003)
A Phase 3 study testing Pembrolizumab/Vibostolimab and Pembrolizumab in people with Lung Neoplasms and Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 188 sites in 23 countries.
Trial summary
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is PD-L1 positive. Metastatic means cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. PD-L1 positive means that PD-L1 is found on the cancer cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of MK-7684 With Pembrolizumab as a Coformulation (MK-7684A) Versus Pembrolizumab Monotherapy as First Line Treatment for Participants With PD-L1 Positive Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is PD-L1 positive.
- Metastatic means cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
- PD-L1 positive means that PD-L1 is found on the cancer cells. PD-L1 is a protein that can help the cancer hide from the body's immune system.
The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive vibostolimab and pembrolizumab live longer overall and without the cancer getting worse than people who receive pembrolizumab alone.
Read the detailed description
The protocol-specified futility analysis of the primary outcome measure was completed with a data cut-off of 05-Sep-2024 (Primary Completion Date) and served as the final analysis of the primary outcome measure. Per protocol, 58 participants enrolled after the primary completion date and will be analyzed in the End of Trial analysis.

TTD is defined as the time to first onset of 10 or more (out of 100) deterioration from baseline and confirmed by a second adjacent 10 or more deterioration from baseline.
Measured: Baseline and up to ~56 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is PD-L1 positive.
- Metastatic means cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
- PD-L1 positive means that PD-L1 is found on the cancer cells. PD-L1 is a protein that can help the cancer hide from the body's immune system.
The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive vibostolimab and pembrolizumab live longer overall and without the cancer getting worse than people who receive pembrolizumab alone.
Detailed description
The protocol-specified futility analysis of the primary outcome measure was completed with a data cut-off of 05-Sep-2024 (Primary Completion Date) and served as the final analysis of the primary outcome measure. Per protocol, 58 participants enrolled after the primary completion date and will be analyzed in the End of Trial analysis.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Pembrolizumab/Vibostolimab and Pembrolizumab in people with Lung Neoplasms and Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 188 sites in 23 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 188 sites in China, Japan, Chile, Ukraine, South Korea and 18 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Aug 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall Survival (OS) in Participants With PD-L1 TPS ≥50% (time frame: Up to ~39 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2026.
