Previously, Keytruda was designated for gastric cancer only in patients who showed progression following a minimum of two prior courses of systemic therapy, which incorporated fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-based chemotherapy. This year, it is expected to surpass <strong>AbbVie\u2019s Humira<\/strong> as the world\u2019s best-selling drug. Merck recorded a sales figure of<strong> $20.9 billion<\/strong> for Keytruda last year, representing a <strong>22% <\/strong>growth from 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>Dr. Marjorie Green, senior vice president and head of late-stage oncology, global clinical development at Merck Research Laboratories<\/em><\/strong><em>, shared, \u201cOur extensive development program at Merck spans a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal cancers, aiming to introduce meaningful new choices for patients and their healthcare providers.

This randomized, double-blinded trial involved 1,579 participants who had not undergone systemic therapies. Results revealed a 22% reduction in the risk of death with the Keytruda-based regimen compared to chemotherapy alone. Additionally, median survival was marginally extended in the Keytruda arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merck\u2019s flagship in oncology, Keytruda, is a monoclonal antibody strategically designed to target the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/blog\/pd-1-and-pd-l1-inhibitors-in-cancer-management\">PD-1 receptor<\/a>. Its mechanism involves disrupting the downstream signaling of PD-1, leading to a heightened immune response against cancer cells. Remarkably, Keytruda has been deployed in more than 1,600 trials across diverse cancer types and treatment modalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, Merck also obtained approval for Keytruda\u2019s expanded use in biliary tract cancer, where it is now incorporated into a combination regimen with gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy. The FDA granted approval following the analysis of results from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/blog\/aacr-2023-preview-and-top-data-readouts\"><strong>Merck\u2019s Phase III KEYNOTE-966 trial<\/strong><\/a>, revealing a noteworthy increase in overall survival when the drug was administered alongside chemotherapy, as opposed to chemotherapy alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, on 10 November 2023, Europe\u2019s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use also recommended the approval of Keytruda for use alongside the antimetabolite gemcitabine and chemotherapy. This recommendation is for the primary treatment of adults diagnosed with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic biliary tract cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keytruda is facing heightened competition in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/biliary-tract-cancers-btcs-market\">biliary tract cancer treatment<\/a> sector, with <strong>AstraZeneca\u2019s Imfinzi<\/strong> gaining FDA approval in September of last year, particularly in combination with chemotherapy.

In the third quarter of 2023 alone, Keytruda recorded sales exceeding <strong>$6.3 billion<\/strong>, marking a <strong>17%<\/strong> surge compared to the corresponding period last year. Cumulatively for this year, the drug has amassed sales surpassing <strong>$18.4 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 2023, Merck achieved a milestone by extending the application of Keytruda to the perioperative phase for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/metastatic-non-small-cell-lung-cancer-market\">non-small cell lung cancer treatment<\/a>.
