      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: The Primary objective of this study is to verify non-inferiority of Pembrolizumab (produced by CinnaGen Co.) compared with Keytruda® in metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, Randomization description: Eligible patients will be assigned to treatment with the use of stratification, permuted block (length of each block is 3 or 6), and R-CRAN software (version 4.0.3) that will be designed to achieve the overall balance between groups; randomization will be stratified according to Histologic type (squamous vs. non-squamous)  and percentage of PDL1 expression (&lt;1, [1-49], ≥50).
After randomization procedure, a code will be allocated to each patient that will be used as patient identifier throughout the study. The assigned code will be denoted by 4 initials (corresponding to the first two letters of first name, first two letters of surname) and 3 numbers (center code). Moreover, the code described is followed by the study unique identification code consisting of first three letters of the generic name of the investigational product (which is PEM-) and 3 numbers (corresponding to the randomization number), e.g. ABCD001PEM-001. The randomization number will be assigned in a consecutive way, Blinding description: Both products used in the study will be entirely indistinguishable for patients and ‎health care providers since they are identical in shape, size, Material and color. they don't differ in appearance. The compartments of both pembrolizumab drugs are packaged in same pack. such a way that they do not differ in appearance. The contents of the labels are based on EMEA regulation. The brand's medicine and produced medicine in the factory are completely relabeled and packaged in the same way. The blinding codes are listed on the drug label, and each drug is linked to the patient through the specific code. The patient, medical staff, and other staff are not disclosed to the type of medication that being taken.The group of patients and the type of medication they receive are not disclosed to the researchers and are kept in opaque sealed envelopes with the researcher at each center. In addition, the people who review the results and analyze the data are aware of the type of patient grouping.</study_design>
