A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind Trial Comparing Trastuzumab Plus Chemotherapy and Pembrolizumab With Trastuzumab Plus Chemotherapy and Placebo as First-line Treatment in Participants With HER2 Positive Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma (KEYNOTE 811)

Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC·interventional·Posted Aug 3, 2018·Updated Dec 11, 2025

In Brief

A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Pembrolizumab, Placebo, and 6 other interventions for Gastric Neoplasms and Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma. Completed, enrolled 738 participants across 192 sites in 20 countries.

Detailed Summary

The study will compare the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus trastuzumab in combination with standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy versus trastuzumab in combination with SOC chemotherapy in participants with HER2-positive gastric cancer. The primary hypotheses of the study are that pembrolizumab plus trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy is superior to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in terms of 1) progression free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR), and 2) overall survival (OS).
