    Merck Shares Drop After Keytruda Treatment Fails Late-Stage Liver Cancer Trial

    shares slipped lower in pre-market trading Wednesday after the drugmaker said one of its key liver cancer treatments failed a late-stage trial only months after getting accelerated approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Merck said late Tuesday that its Keytruda treatment for patients with advanced liver cancer who were previously treated with systemic therapy did not meet the endpoints for overall survival when compared with placebo plus best supportive care. "While we are disappointed KEYNOTE-240 did not meet its co-primary endpoints, the results for overall survival, progression-free survival and objective response rate are generally consistent with findings from the Phase 2 study, which led to the accelerated approval of KEYTRUDA for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have been previously treated with sorafenib," said chief medical officer Dr. Roy Baynes.

    Merck's Keytruda fails late-stage study in liver cancer patients

    Merck & Co Inc's cancer drug Keytruda failed a late-stage trial's main goals of slowing disease progression and extending the life of patients with a common type of liver cancer, the company said on Tuesday. The results could hamper prospects for the drug, which had received an accelerated approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in November as a treatment for patients with advanced liver cancer who had been previously treated with Bayer AG's Nexavar. Keytruda, which is approved to treat several forms of cancer including skin and lung cancer, is Merck's biggest drug and brought in revenue of $7.17 billion last year.

    A combination of Merck & Co's immunotherapy Keytruda and Pfizer Inc's Inlyta helped patients with advanced kidney cancer live longer than those receiving and older Pfizer standalone therapy, according to data from a late-stage study presented on Saturday.
