Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Registration Number
JPRN-jRCT2080223439
Lead Sponsor
Eisai Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

envatinib 8 mg (<60 kg body weight [BW]) or 12 mg (>=60 kg BW) daily with pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenous (every 3 weeks) demonstrated a clinically meaningful ORR, long DOR, and noteworthy depth of response. Overall, no new safety signals or risks were identified for either lenvatinib or pembrolizumab. The safety profile is manageable, and observed toxicities were generally similar to those previously reported in the reference safety information for lenvatinib and pembrolizumab.
