Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the adjuvant treatment of adult participants who have undergone nephrectomy and have intermediate-high risk, high risk, or M1 no evidence of disease (M1 NED) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with clear cell component.

The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab is superior to placebo with respect to Disease-free Survival (DFS) as assessed by the Investigator in male and female participants with intermediate-high risk, high risk and M1 NED RCC.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Renal Cell Carcinoma	Biological: Pembrolizumab; Drug: Placebo (saline solution)	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Participants will be assigned to receive study treatment until disease recurrence, unacceptable adverse events (AEs), intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment, Investigator's decision to withdraw the participant, noncompliance with study treatment or procedural requirements, administrative reasons requiring cessation of treatment, or until the participant has received 17 cycles of study treatment (approximately 1 year). Each cycle is 3 weeks long.

With Protocol Amendment 02 (dated 04 Sep 2019), the secondary study objectives for the evaluation of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and the presence of pembrolizumab antidrug antibodies (ADA) were reclassified as tertiary study objectives.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Disease-free Survival (DFS) as Assessed by the Investigator [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 50 months ]
   DFS, as assessed by the investigator, is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented local recurrence, distant kidney cancer metastasis(es), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 72 months ]
   OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
2. Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE) [ Time Frame: Nonserious AEs: Up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment (Up to approximately 13 months); Serious AEs: Up to 90 days after last dose of study treatment (Up to approximately 15 months) ]
   An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study treatment, whether or not considered related to the use of study treatment. Participants are monitored for the occurrence of nonserious AEs for up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment and of serious AEs for up to 90 days after last dose of study treatment. The number of participants who experience an AE will be assessed.
3. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to an AE [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 12 months ]
   An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study treatment, whether or not considered related to the use of study treatment. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be assessed.
4. First Local Disease Recurrence-specific Survival (DRSS1) as Assessed by the Investigator [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 72 months ]
   DRSS1 is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented local recurrence of RCC as assessed by the investigator. For DRSS1, only local recurrence is counted as an event.
5. Second Disease Recurrence-Specific Survival (DRSS2) as Assessed by the Investigator [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 72 months ]
   DRSS2 is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented local recurrence with visceral lesion or occurrence of distant kidney cancer metastasis(es) with visceral lesion, whichever occurs first, as assessed by the investigator.
6. Event-Free Survival (EFS) as Assessed by the Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 72 months ]
   EFS is defined as time from randomization to the first documented local recurrence or occurrence of distant kidney cancer metastasis(es) among participants which by BICR were considered disease-free at baseline (M0/M1 NED); or disease progression among participants which by BICR were considered to have baseline disease (M1), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
7. DFS According to Participant Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Expression Status (Positive, Negative) as Assessed by the Investigator [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 72 months ]
   DFS, as assessed by the investigator, is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented local recurrence, or occurrence of distant kidney cancer metastasis(es), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
8. OS According to Participant PD-L1 Expression Status (Positive, Negative) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 72 months ]
   OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
9. European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Cycles 1, 5, 9, 13, and 17, treatment discontinuation, 30 day follow up, and annually during post-treatment follow up. Each cycle is 3 weeks long. (Up to approximately 72 months) ]
   The QLQ-C30 quality of life (QOL) questionnaire contains 5 functioning scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain) and single symptom items (dyspnoea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation and diarrhoea) and perceived financial impact of the disease. Items are scored on a 4-point scale (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3= quite a bit, 4=very much). The QLQC30 also contains 2 global health status scales that use 7-point scale scoring (1=very poor and 7=excellent). The change from baseline in the 2-item global health status/QOL life scale (range: 2-14) will be presented, with a higher score representing a higher QOL.
10. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Kidney Symptom Index-Disease Related Symptoms (FKSI-DRS) Index Score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Cycles 1, 5, 9, 13, and 17, treatment discontinuation, 30 day follow up, and annually during post-treatment follow up. Each cycle is 3 weeks long. (Up to approximately 72 months) ]
    The FKSI-DRS index consists of a 9-item questionnaire that assesses the extent of participant symptoms from kidney cancer over the previous 7 days. Responses are scored on a 5-point scale (0=Not at all to 4=Very much) and summed to generate an index symptom score. These scores can range from 0 to 36, with a higher score indicating more favorable kidney cancer symptom status.
