Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Phase 3 PFS success for Keytruda in dMMR endometrial cancer and FDA approval for Keytruda+Padcev in MIBC create near-term tailwinds for MRK, supported by a positive price reaction and potential broader adoption of Keytruda regimens; OS data maturity remains a marginal overhang.
