    A few days ago, the European Commission announced the approval of Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy Keytruda combined with chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of locally recurrent unresectable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer in adults with tumors


    Just a month ago, the combination of Keytruda and chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer has just received a positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Committee on Medicines for Human Use (CHMP)


    Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive breast cancer.


    The approval is based on the positive results of the pivotal Phase 3 KEYNOTE-355 trial (NCT02819518)


    The results of the KEYNOTE-355 trial showed that compared with patients who received chemotherapy alone, PFS and OS were significantly improved in patients who received Keytruda combined with chemotherapy


    The Keytruda combination chemotherapy has been approved for the treatment of breast cancer and will allow Keytruda to be marketed and marketed in all 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Northern Ireland
