Phase 3 study of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib in endometrial carcinoma
EU CTIS ID: 2023-505614-17-00
What this study is testing
1. To compare progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR), modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ for the combination of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) plus lenvatinib (MK-7902) versus chemotherapy 2. To compare Overall Survival (OS) for the combination of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib versus chemotherapy
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Has Stage III, Stage IV, or recurrent, histologically-confirmed endometrial carcinoma with disease that is either measurable or nonmeasurable but radiographically apparent, per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR (note: may have received prior chemotherapy only if administered concurrently with radiation; may have received prior radiation without concurrent chemotherapy; may have received prior hormonal therapy for treatment of endometrial carcinoma, provided that it was discontinued ≥1 week prior to randomization; and may have received 1 prior line of systemic platinum-based adjuvant and/or neoadjuvant chemotherapy)
- Has provided archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion that was not previously irradiated, for determination of mismatch repair (MMR) status
- Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, as assessed within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention
- Is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and is either not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or is a WOCBP who agrees to use contraception during the study and for ≥120 days after pembrolizumab, ≥30 days after lenvatinib, or ≥180 days after (chemotherapy) [if a WOCBP, a pregnancy test will be required within 24 hours of first dose of study drug]
- Has adequately controlled blood pressure within 7 days prior to randomization
- Has adequate organ function based on assessment within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention
You likely can't join if
- Has carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed Műllerian tumor), endometrial leiomyosarcoma or other high grade sarcomas, or endometrial stromal sarcomas
- Has not recovered adequately from any toxicity and/or complications from major surgery prior to randomization
- Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (HIV test is required at screening)
- Has a known history of hepatitis B (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) or known active hepatitis C virus (HCV) [defined as HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) is detected] (hepatitis B and C testing is required at screening only when mandated by local health authority)
- Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required treatment with steroids, or has current pneumonitis
- Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the participant's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator
