    Pembrolizumab is effective against programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive metastatic or unresectable cervical cancer that progressed during chemotherapy


    Recently, a research article published in the top medical journal NEJM, researchers aimed to evaluate the relative benefits of adding pembrolizumab to chemotherapy regimens with or without bevacizumab


    In this double-blind phase 3 trial, researchers randomly assigned patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer at a 1:1 ratio to receive pembrolizumab (200mg) or placebo every 3 weeks , Up to 35 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy


    Among the 548 patients with a PD-L1 composite positive score of 1 or higher, the median progression-free survival in the pembrolizumab group was 10.


    It can be seen that in patients with persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who received chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab, the progression-free survival and overall survival of the pembrolizumab group were significantly longer than those of the placebo group


    In patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer who received chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab, the progression-free survival and overall survival of the pembrolizumab group were significantly longer than those of the placebo group
