Merck & Co. (MRK) on Monday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved its cancer drug Keytruda in combination with Pfizer Inc.'s (PFE) Inlyta for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer.

The Kenilworth, N.J., drug maker said the approval is based on findings from a phase 3 study that showed significant improvements in overall survival, progression-free survival and objective response rate for the combination compared to sunitinib, a chemotherapy drug marketed by Pfizer as Sutent.

Merck said the approval marks the first indication in advanced renal cell carcinoma for Keytruda, a cancer drug that harnesses a patient's immune systems to fight tumors.
