“With the LEAP-010 trial, we aimed to explore whether this combination could improve upon options already available with KEYTRUDA-based regimens for appropriate patients with metastatic or with unresectable, recurrent HNSCC,” said Dr. Gregory Lubiniecki, Vice President, Global Clinical Development, Merck Research Laboratories. “Although the progression-free survival results from this study were encouraging, unfortunately the combination did not result in an overall survival benefit for patients. We will apply lessons from this trial to help continue advancing research of this combination.”
