    In the KEYNOTE-048 trial, pembrolizumab was effective
    in relapsing/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with or without chemotherapy.
    The long-term efficacy and progression-free survival of the trial after the trial are treated on the line
    .

    In this trial, patients were randomized (1:1:1) to pembrolizumab, pembrolizumab + chemotherapy, or cetuximab + chemotherapy
    .
    Stratified efficacy was evaluated
    based on PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥ 20 points, CPS ≥ 1 score and the general population.


    Overall survival assessment: A, D, PD-L1 CPS≥ 20 points; B, E, PD-L1 CPS≥ 1 GROUP; C, D, the total population

    Median follow-up was 45.
    0 months (IQH range 41.
    0–49.
    2 months; n=882)
    。 As of 18 February 2020, pembrolizumab therapy improved overall survival in patients with PD-L1 CPS≥ 20 points (HR 0.
    61) and CPS≥1 (HR 0.
    74), and in the general population, pembrolizumab monotherapy was non-inferior (HR 0.
    81).

    Pembrolizumab + chemotherapy improved overall survival in PD-L1 CPS≥ 20 points (HR 0.
    61), CPS≥1 score (HR 0.
    74), and the general population (HR 0.
    71
    ).


    PFS2 assessment: A, D, PD-L1 CPS≥ 20 point population; B, E, PD-L1 CPS≥ 1 GROUP; C, D, the total population

    The objective response rate of the second course of pembrolizumab was 27.
    3%.

    Pylimizumab treatment improved posterior progression-free survival (PFS2) in patients with PD-L1 CPS≥ 20 (HR 0.
    64) and CPS≥1 (HR 0.
    79); Pembrolizumab + chemotherapy improved PFS2
    in PD-L1 CPS≥ 20 (HR 0.
    64), CPS≥1 score (HR 0.
    66), and general population (HR 0.
    73).

    Overall, at four-year follow-up, first-line pembrolizumab and pembrolizumab combination chemotherapy continued to show superior survival benefits
    over cetuximab plus chemotherapy in relapsed/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
