Five-year follow-up and prespecified exploratory biomarker analysis from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-426 trial show that pembrolizumab plus axitinib compared to sunitinib as first-line therapy continues to show overall and progression-free survival benefits in patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma and indicate that a T-cell-inflamed gene expression profile is predictive of response.
