Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, today announced the first presentation of results from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE‑C93 trial, evaluating KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer who had not previously received systemic chemotherapy or who experienced recurrence after receiving prior adjuvant therapy. Results showed KEYTRUDA as monotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) for these patients, reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 43% (HR=0.57; [95% CI, 0.42-0.79]; p=0.0002) compared to platinum doublet chemotherapy. These late-breaking results will be presented today during a Presidential Symposium at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026 [Presentation #LBA12], were selected for an official ESMO press briefing and were published simultaneously in The Lancet.

Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, today announced the first presentation of results from the pivotal Phase 3 TroFuse-005 trial evaluating sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), an investigational TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed in collaboration with Kelun-Biotech, in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer who have received prior platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/L1 immunotherapy. At a pre-specified interim analysis, the study demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in its dual primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) as well as its key secondary endpoint of objective response rate (ORR) compared with treatment of physician’s choice (TPC; doxorubicin or paclitaxel). TroFuse-005 is the first global Phase 3 trial and the first ADC to demonstrate statistically significant improvement in both OS and PFS compared to chemotherapy for these patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. These late-breaking data will be presented for the first time today during a Presidential Symposium session at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026 [Presentation #LBA11], were selected for an official ESMO press briefing, and were published simultaneously in The Lancet.
