Abstract
Background. Endometrial cancer (EC) treatment outcomes need to be improved. Immunotargeted therapy lead to long-term and delayed effects compared to chemotherapy. Estimation of long-term efficacy and quality of life are crucial when we are talking about efficacy in whole.
Aim. To evaluate the long-term clinical efficacy of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab therapy in patients with EC.
Materials and methods. The study included 43 patients with stages I-IV EC with mismatch repair-proficient tumors and treatment duration of more than 9 months. We evaluated median progression-free survival, objective response, duration of treatment depending on the line of therapy, prevalence and type of adverse events, and correction regimens. Results. Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab treatment was safe and efficacious in recurrent EC. Median of progression-free survival (patients with response or stabilization more than 9 months) is 10.2 months (95 % confidence interval 9.1-13.0), median of follow up is 9.7 (1.4-33.8) months. There were no complete responses, partial response was in 12 (28 %) patients, disease stabilization was in 31 (72 %) patients. Regarding safety, the overall rate of any-grade adverse events was 56.3 %. The most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue (32.6 %), hypertension (23.3 %), and hypothyroidism (18.6 %). Dose reduction was performed in 22 (51.2 %) patients.
Conclusion. The combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab has long-term efficacy and manageable profile of safety. The presence of a significant pool of patients with durable response allows improving the survival rate of such patients in Russia.
