Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) combined with lenvatinib (MK-7902/E7080) compared to pembrolizumab alone (with placebo for lenvatinib) as first-line treatment in adults with no prior systemic therapy for their advanced melanoma. The primary study hypotheses are that: 1) The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is superior to pembrolizumab and placebo as assessed by Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), and 2) The combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib is superior to pembrolizumab and placebo as assessed by Overall Survival (OS). For this study, RECIST 1.1 has been modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ.

Description:

As of 03-April-2023 active participants, investigator, and sponsor personnel or delegate(s) involved in the treatment administration or clinical evaluation of the participants will be unblinded.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Has histologically or cytologically confirmed melanoma.
• Has unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma, as per American Joint Committee on Cancer guidelines, not amenable to local therapy.
• Has been untreated for advanced or metastatic disease except as follows:

1. Proto-oncogene B-Raf (BRAF) V600 mutation-positive melanoma may have received standard of care targeted therapy as first-line therapy for advanced or metastatic disease. Participants that do not have a BRAF V600 mutation but did receive BRAF or BRAF/MEKi therapy are eligible to participate in this study after discussion with the medical monitor.

2. Prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy, with targeted therapy or immunotherapy (such as anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 [CTLA-4], anti-programmed cell death 1 [anti-PD-1] therapy or interferon) will only be permitted if relapse did not occur during active treatment or within 6 months of treatment discontinuation.

• Have documentation of BRAF V600-activating mutation status or consent to BRAF V600 mutation testing during the Screening period (participants with BRAF mutation-positive melanoma as well as BRAF wild-type or unknown are eligible).
• Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 1.
• Has the presence of =1 measurable lesion by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) per RECIST 1.1.
• Provides a tumor biopsy. Participants must submit tumor sample during Screening for confirmation of adequacy of tumor tissue at a central pathology laboratory. Participants who do not submit a tumor tissue sample will not be randomized. The tumor biopsy may not be obtained from a lone target lesion. Confirmation of presence of tumor tissue is not required prior to randomization.
• Has resolution of toxic effect(s) of the most recent prior therapy to Grade 1 or less (except alopecia). If participant received major surgery or radiation therapy of >30 Gray (Gy), they must have recovered from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention.
• Male participants must agree to use contraception during the treatment period and for at least 7 days after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period. Please note that 7 days after lenvatinib/placebo is stopped, if the participant is on pembrolizumab only, no male contraception measures are needed. Contraception use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. If the contraception requirements in the local label for any of the study interventions is more stringent than the requirements above, the local label requirements are to be followed.
• Female participants must not be pregnant, not breastfeeding, and =1 of the following

conditions applies:

1. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP). OR

2. A WOCBP who agrees to use study-approved contraception during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment.

• The participant (or legally acceptable representative) has provided documented informed consent for the study.
• Has adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with or without antihypertensive medications, defined as BP =150/90 mmHg at screening and no change in antihypertensive medications within 1 week before Cycle 1 Day 1.

The GHS/QoL combined score consists of participant responses to the questions "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" GHS/QoL responses range in score from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.	Baseline and Week 21
Secondary	Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 [QLQ-C30] Physical Function (PF) Score	The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. The PF Score consists of participant responses to questions regarding PF (5 questions about daily activities [strenuous activities, long walks, short walks, bed/chair rest and needing help with eating, dressing, washing themselves or using the toilet]). For PF, responses range in score from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.	Baseline and Week 21
Secondary	Time to True Deterioration (TTD) Based on Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL Score	TTD is defined as the time from Baseline to 1st onset of a =10-point negative change (decrease) in EORTC-QLQ-C30 GHS Score. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. TThe GHS/QoL Score consists of participant responses to the questions "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" and "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" GHS/QoL responses range in score from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome. A longer TTD indicates a better outcome	Up to approximately 30 months
Secondary	Time to True Deterioration (TTD) Based on Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 in Physical Function (PF) Score	TTD is defined as the time from Baseline to 1st onset of a =10-point negative change (decrease) in EORTC-QLQ-C30 PF Score. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life of cancer patients. The PF Score consists of participant responses to questions regarding PF (5 questions about daily activities [strenuous activities, long walks, short walks, bed/chair rest & needing help with eating, dressing, washing themselves or using the toilet]. For PF, responses range in score from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.	Up to approximately 30 months
