Study Summary

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination therapy of lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) and pembrolizumab following approximately 2 years of pembrolizumab therapy and approximately 2 years or more lenvatinib therapy in adult participants with unresectable or advanced melanoma who have been exposed to anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) agents approved for unresectable or metastatic melanoma. No statistical hypothesis will be tested in this study.

Primary Outcome

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who have a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of target lesion diameters without progression in other lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR). Per protocol, RECIST 1.1 was modified to allow up to 10 target lesions total (up to 5 per organ).
