Popis: 94 Background: Pembrolizumab (pembro), an anti-PD-1 antibody, is approved for the treatment of patients (pts) with unresectable or metastatic microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair (MMR) deficient colorectal cancer, both as first-line treatment and after progression following treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. The combination of lenvatinib, a multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and anti-PD-1 treatment showed synergistic antitumor activity in preclinical models. LEAP-005 (NCT03797326) is evaluating the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus pembro in pts with previously treated advanced solid tumors. We present findings from the colorectal cancer cohort. Methods: In this nonrandomized, open-label, phase 2 study, adult pts (aged ≥18 y) with histologically/cytologically documented metastatic and/or unresectable colorectal cancer, non–MSI-H/pMMR tumor per local determination, previous treatment with oxaliplatin and irinotecan in separate lines of therapy, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, ECOG PS of 0‒1, and a tissue sample evaluable for PD-L1 expression were eligible. Pts received lenvatinib 20 mg QD plus pembro 200 mg Q3W for up to 35 cycles of pembro (~2 y) or until confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Treatment with lenvatinib could continue beyond 2 y in pts with clinical benefit. Primary endpoints were ORR (per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review) and safety. Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), PFS, and OS. Tumor imaging was performed Q9W from treatment initiation for 54 wks, then Q12W to week 102, and Q24W thereafter. Results: 32 pts with colorectal cancer received treatment with lenvatinib plus pembro (median age, 56 y [range, 36-77]; male, 81%; 3L, 91%); median time from first dose to data cutoff (April 10, 2020) was 10.6 mos (range, 5.9-13.1) ORR was 22% (95% CI, 9-40; Table). Grade 3-5 treatment-related AEs occurred in 16 (50%) pts. Treatment-related AEs led to treatment discontinuation in 3 pts (grade 2 ischemic stroke [n = 1], grade 3 increased liver transaminases [n = 1], grade 5 intestinal perforation [n = 1]). Efficacy Results. Clinical trial information: NCT03797326. NR, not reached aConfirmation was not required for best overall response of SD, but a final visit response of SD or better must have occurred ≥6 wks after starting study treatment Conclusions: In pts with previously treated advanced non–MSI-H/pMMR colorectal cancer, lenvatinib plus pembro demonstrated promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile. Enrollment in the colorectal cohort was expanded to 100 pts. [Table: see text]
