Adverse Drug Reactions (RCC + Pembrolizumab)

The incidence rates of treatment-emergent adverse events observed in clinical studies for RCC in combination with permbrolizumab are presented in table 4 & 5 below.

Events are included as Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) based on the incidence rates of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the placebo-controlled DTC study together with events from other indications assessed in the context of TEAE incidence rates across study treatment arms, the known pharmacology of lenvatinib and the underlying indication.


RCC 1L Combination With Pembrolizumab

The safety of lenvatinib was evaluated in Study 307, in which patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were randomized (1:1:1) to lenvatinib 20 mg orally once daily in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 3 weeks (n=352), lenvatinib 18 mg orally once daily in combination with everolimus 5 mg orally once daily (n=355), or sunitinib 50 mg orally once daily for 4 weeks then off treatment for 2 weeks (n=340).

The median duration of study treatment was 17.0 months (range 2 days to 39.1 months). The median duration of exposure to lenvatinib was 16.1 months (range 2 days to 39.1 months).

Tables 4 and 5 summarize treatment emergent adverse events and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in patients receiving lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab in Study 307.
