Background: Lenvatinib is an approved therapy for patients with RAIR DTC. While the overall response rate (ORR) is high, few patients achieve a complete response (CR) and most patients eventually have progressive disease (PD). Combination lenvatinib and pembrolizumab is being explored in many different cancers, and this combination has been approved for advanced endometrial carcinoma. Methods: Patients with RAIR DTC with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST v1.1) measurable PD (<14 months (mo) prior to registration) were enrolled in this single-arm multicenter phase II study. Patients were excluded if they had received previous VEGFR-directed multikinase therapy. The lenvatinib starting dose was 20 mg/day orally and pembrolizumab was 200mg IV every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was CR. ORR, progression-free survival (PFS) and safety graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0 were secondary endpoints. Results: Thirty patients were enrolled. The median age was 62.5 years, and 53% of the patients were women. Seventy percent of patients had grade 3 adverse events (AEs) and 10 percent had grade 4 AEs. There were no treatment-related deaths. The most common > grade 3 AEs were hypertension (47%), weight loss (13%), maculopapular rash (13%), leukopenia (7%), diarrhea (7%) and oral mucositis (7%). Twenty-one patients (70%) required lenvatinib dose reduction. Of 29 evaluable patients, 18 (62%) had a partial response (PR) and 10 (35%) had stable disease (SD). The clinical benefit rate (ORR +SD) was 97%. Median time to tumor nadir was 7.4 mo (1.6-17.8 mo). Median PFS was not yet reached. The PFS at 12 months was 74%. Median time on therapy was 9.9 mo (3.2-18.9 mo). Fourteen patients are continuing therapy (7.6-18.9 mo). Six of these patients (43%) have not yet reached tumor size nadir. Three patients (10%) had > 80% target tumor shrinkage. Conclusions: Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab is reasonably tolerated in patients with RAIR DTC. To date, there have been no documented complete responses. Combination lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab therapy has a high ORR in patients with RAIR DTC. Continuation of this study will help determine the depth and length of the responses. Clinical trial information: NCT02973997.
