06 July 2020 The Department for Health and Social Care has asked NICE to conduct an appraisal of pembrolizumab with chemotherapy for treating advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. For information, the company have announced that the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-361 trial evaluating pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma did not meet its pre-specified dual primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS), compared with standard of care chemotherapy and that company have no plans to submit for a Marketing Authorisation for this indication at this time. Therefore NICE has decided to suspend this appraisal from its current work programme. As this appraisal has been referred, NICE will continue to monitor any development and will update interested parties if the situation changes.

10 June 2019 The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has been asked to consider an appraisal of pembrolizumab with chemotherapy for treating advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. We invited stakeholders to respond to a written consultation on the draft scope for this appraisal which closed on 16 May 2019. On receiving updated regulatory timing information from the company that is developing pembrolizumab, NICE has agreed that holding a scoping exercise at this time would not be appropriate. The scoping exercise will be rescheduled to take place in line with anticipated regulatory approval timings. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
