Pembrolizumab and Lenvatinib for recurrent endometrial cancer that has progressed after first-line therapy
Official title: Phase 2 Open-Label Trial Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Pembrolizumab and Lenvatinib in Mismatch Repair Proficient Recurrent Endometrial Cancer After Progression on or Following First-Line Immunotherapy Maintenance
Run by University of Miami · NCT07594015 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests a combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib to see if it can help adults with recurrent mismatch repair-proficient endometrial cancer after failure of initial platinum-based chemo and immunotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with histologically confirmed recurrent endometrial cancer that is MMR-proficient and progressed after first-line carboplatin-based therapy and maintenance immunotherapy, with measurable disease and adequate performance status (ECOG 0-3).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors do not respond to the combination or who experience intolerable toxicity may derive no benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 interventional study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib in patients with recurrent endometrial cancer that is mismatch repair-proficient and has progressed after first-line maintenance immunotherapy. Eligible participants have measurable disease and adequate performance status, and must have completed prior treatment with a carboplatin-based doublet followed by immunotherapy. The study will monitor tumor response by RECIST 1.1 and track safety signals related to the drug combination. Enrollment is conducted at the University of Miami and will include patients who have or have not received prior radiation therapy. Prior sequencing of tumor samples may be used to inform participation.”,
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could offer a new treatment option with potential tumor shrinkage and disease control for this patient group.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored pembrolizumab-based combinations in endometrial cancer with variable activity; this specific MMR-proficient post-immunotherapy setting is less well established and represents a relatively novel approach.

2. Mismatch repair (MMR) proficient status confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or molecular testing.
3. Patients must have progressed on or after first-line maintenance immunotherapy that was started while on carboplatin-based doublet chemotherapy and continued following chemotherapy until completion (prior chemotherapy for this disease administered before the most recent line is permitted).
4. Prior radiation is permitted but not required.

6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 - 3.
7. Age ≥ 18 years.
8. Female participants must be of non-childbearing potential or for females of child bearing potential (FOCBPs), must agree to use contraception as described in protocol. FOCBPs must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
9. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1.
10. Adequate organ function, including:
* Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (blood transfusions are permitted)
* Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1000
* Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10⁹/L
* Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 30 mL/min
* Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (upper limit of normal)
11. Written informed consent obtained from the patient.
12. At least 3 weeks must have elapsed from any prior therapy
Exclusion Criteria:

5. Pregnancy or breastfeeding at the time of enrollment.
6. Previous treatment with lenvatinib or other VEGFR inhibitors.
7. Concurrent treatment with other investigational drugs or anti-cancer therapies except for adjuvant hormonal therapy for breast cancer.
8. Uncontrolled concurrent illness, such as active infections that could interfere with study participation.
9. Blood pressure \>160 systolic or \>110 diastolic averaged over last 3 documented measurements.
10. History of significant cardiovascular events within 12 months prior to enrollment, including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV).
