Lenvatinib in Combination With Pembrolizumab Versus Treatment of Physician's Choice in Participants With Advanced Endometrial Cancer (MK-3475-775/E7080-G000-309 Per Merck Standard Convention [KEYNOTE-775])

NCT03517449

Description:

This is a study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475, KEYTRUDA®) in combination with lenvatinib (E7080) versus treatment of physician's choice (doxorubicin or paclitaxel) for the treatment of advanced endometrial cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab and lenvatinib or treatment of physician's choice. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab in combination with lenvatinib prolongs progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) when compared to treatment of physician's choice.

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:Female
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 27 months
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as determined by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 27 months
Safety Issue:
Description:ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have best overall response of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as determined by BICR per RECIST 1.1.
Measure:Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Score Using the European Organization for Research and Treatment (EORTC) Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) Version 3.0
Time Frame:Baseline (prior to first dose of study treatment in Cycle 1 [cycle length = 21 days]) and at the end of follow-up (up to approximately 43 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:Change from baseline in HRQoL using the global score of EORTC QLQ-C30 will be determined. EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer specific health-related quality-of life (QoL) questionnaire, which contains 30 items and measures 5 functional dimensions (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), 3 symptom items (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), 6 single items (dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial impact), and a global health and QoL scale. The score for each item and the overall score ranges from 0 to 100. A high overall scale and subscale scores represent improved health status. However, in case of individual symptoms, higher scores suggest increased perception of these symptoms of life.
Measure:Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 43 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of participants experiencing an AE will be assessed. An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease (new or worsening) temporally associated with the use of study therapy, regardless of whether or not a causal relationship with the study therapy can be determined.
Measure:Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAE)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 43 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of participants experiencing an SAE will be assessed. A SAE is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a cancer, is associated with an overdose, or is another important medical event.
Measure:Number of Participants With Immune-related Adverse Events (irAE)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 43 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of participants experiencing an irAE will be assessed. An irAE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended immune-related sign, symptom, or disease (new or worsening) temporally associated with the use of study therapy, regardless of whether or not a causal relationship with the study therapy can be determined.
Measure:Number of Participants With Treatment Discontinuations Due to AEs
Time Frame:Up to approximately 43 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be assessed.
Measure:Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) Due to Treatment Emergent AEs
Time Frame:Up to approximately 43 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Time to treatment failure due to toxicity, defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date that a participant discontinues study treatment due to AEs.
Measure:Model-Predicted Area Under the Concentration time Curve of Lenvatinib Based on Starting Dose From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC 0-∞)
Time Frame:Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 15: predose and 2-12 hours postdose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 0.5 - 4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle length = 21 days
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Model-Predicted Apparent Total Body Clearance (Cl/F) of Lenvatinib
Time Frame:Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 15: predose and 2-12 hours postdose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 0.5 - 4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle length = 21 days
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Model-Predicted Apparent Total Body Volume of Distribution (Vd/F) of Lenvatinib
Time Frame:Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 15: predose and 2-12 hours postdose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 0.5 - 4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle length = 21 days
