- To assess safety and tolerability of treatment with lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab versus TPC in pMMR participants and in all-comer participants.
- To characterize the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of lenvatinib when co-administered with pembrolizumab in pMMR participants and in all-comer participants.

1. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma.
2. Documented evidence of advanced, recurrent or metastatic EC.
3. Radiographic evidence of disease progression after 1 prior systemic, platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for recurrent, metastatic or primary unresectable disease.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progression-free survival: defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of disease progression, as determined by blinded BICR of objective radiographic disease progression per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause(whichever occurs first).
Overall Survival: defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. Participants who are lost to follow-up and those who are alive at the date of data cut-off will be censored at the date the participant was last known alive, or date of data cut-off, whichever occurs first.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
An interim analysis for superiority of OS is planned for the study. The interim analysis will be conducted when there are approximately 363 death events observed in the pMMR participants, which is estimated to occur approximately 27 months after the first participant is randomized for the pMMR participants. The final PFS analysis is to occur at the time of the OS interim analysis.
The final PFS analysis will have a data cut off at 24 months to allow 3 months for BICR data to become available. By the data cut off at 24 months, it is estimated that there will be approximately 524 PFS events for the pMMR participants. The final analyses of the study are planned to occur when the total target of 518 death events for the pMMR participants are observed. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- Objective response rate (ORR) by BICR using RECIST 1.1.
- Health-Related Quality of Life using the EORTC QLQ-C30.
- Safety and tolerability of the two treatment groups.
- Plasma concentration of lenvatinib versus time.
- Model-predicted clearance and AUC for lenvatinib.

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
