Background: Lenvatinib (LEN) is an inhibitor of VEGFR 1−3, FGFR 1−4, and other kinases. Pembrolizumab (PEM) is an anti-PD-1 antibody. We report updated interim results from a phase 1b/2 study evaluating LEN + PEM in patients (pts) with advanced endometrial cancer (EC) (NCT02501096). Methods: In this multicenter, open-label study, pts with histologically confirmed EC irrespective of microsatellite instability (MSI) or mismatch repair (MMR) status and measurable disease per immune-related RECIST (irRECIST) received LEN (20 mg PO QD) plus PEM (200 mg IV Q3W). Tumor assessments were performed by investigators using irRECIST. The primary phase 2 endpoint was objective response rate at 24 weeks (ORRWK24), calculated only for evaluable pts who had 24 weeks of follow up or discontinued treatment or died prior to 24 weeks. Secondary endpoints included ORR (full analysis set), progression-free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DOR). Results: At data cutoff of Aug 1 2017, 54 pts were enrolled [endometrioid: Gr 1 (7), Gr 2 (12), Gr 3 (5); serous (18); others (8); unknown (4)]. Three (6%) pts were MSI-high (MSI-H); 43 (80%) were non-MSI-H/proficient MMR (MMRp); 8 (15%) were not done/unknown. Median follow-up for PFS was 4.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.7–7.6). ORRWK24 was 50.0% (95% CI, 32.4–67.6), and all responses were confirmed. ORR was 36.7% (95% CI, 23.4–51.7), which reflects the short follow-up time for pts with later enrollment. Median DOR has not yet been reached (not estimable [NE], 95% CI, 4.1–NE) and median PFS was 10.1 months (95% CI, 5.3–NE). Of the 3 MSI-H pts, 1 achieved partial response, 1 had stable disease, and 1 had progressive disease. For non-MSI-H/MMRp pts, ORRWK24 was 50.0% (95% CI, 29.9–70.1). Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 32 (59%) pts; there were no Grade 4 TRAEs. 3 (6%) pts discontinued treatment due to a TRAE. The most common TRAEs were hypertension (59%), fatigue (50%), diarrhea (44%), hypothyroidism (35%), and stomatitis (33%). Conclusions: Combination LEN + PEM demonstrated encouraging activity in advanced EC regardless of MSI/MMR status, with no new safety signals identified. A randomized, international, 2-arm, phase 3 study in recurrent EC is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02501096
