The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) plus pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in the treatment of adult participants with unresected Stage I or II (Stage IIB N0, M0) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary study hypothesis is SBRT plus pembrolizumab prolongs Event-free Survival (EFS) compared to SBRT plus placebo (normal saline solution).
As of protocol amendment 8, the study was stopped due to an interim analysis that did not support the study primary and key secondary endpoints. All study participants stopped ongoing treatment with pembrolizumab/placebo, and must complete end of trial and safety follow-up visits.
SBRT will be administered once every 3 days for 3, 4, 5, or 8 fractions (dependent on tumor type/location; 45-70 Gray \[Gy\] total) over approximately 2 weeks.
Pembrolizumab will be administered at 200 mg via IV infusion once every 3 weeks for up to 17 cycles (up to approximately 1 year).
Placebo (normal saline solution) will be administered at 200 mg via IV infusion once every 3 weeks for up to 17 cycles (up to approximately 1 year).
