Emulation of the KEYNOTE177 Trial Using Specialty Oncology Electronic Health Records Databases

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This observational trial emulation aims to reproduce the KEYNOTE-177 trial (NCT02563002) using real-world specialty oncology electronic health record data and to assess the concordance between the original and emulated treatment effect estimates for overall survival (OS). KEYNOTE-177 was a phase III, open-label, randomized trial comparing first-line pembrolizumab with 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab or cetuximab, in patients with MSI-H or dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Prior systemic treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.
  • Chemotherapy within 6 months before study regimen initiation.
  • Use of an investigational agent within 4 weeks before study regimen initiation.
  • Prior immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment.

Other illness

  • Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within 2 years before study regimen initiation.
  • Another primary malignancy within 5 years before study regimen initiation, except nonmelanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ.

Other

  • Known active central nervous system or meningeal metastases.

Who the study is looking for

  • Age 18 years or older at first-line study regimen initiation.
  • Metastatic colorectal cancer documented in a specialty oncology electronic health record.
  • Initiation of pembrolizumab or 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab or cetuximab, as first-line treatment for metastatic disease.
  • Confirmed dMMR or MSI-H status for chemotherapy initiators; pembrolizumab initiators were presumed to have dMMR or MSI-H disease based on the treatment indication.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 when ascertainable in the database.
