Merck & Co. (MRK) on Thursday said a Phase 3 study of its cancer drug Keytruda in combination with Pfizer Inc.'s (PFE) kidney-cancer drug Inlyta met both primary endpoints.

The Kenilworth, N.J., drug maker said the combination showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival in the first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer.

Merck said the study also met the key secondary endpoint of objective response rate, with significant improvements for the combination compared with sunitinib monotherapy.

Merck said fewer than 10% of patients diagnosed with advanced renal cell carcinoma survive for five years. The companies plan to submit the results to regulatory authorities world-wide.
