immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug

- Issues with tolerating oral medication (e.g. inability to swallow pills, malabsorption
issues, ongoing nausea or vomiting during screening)
- Uncontrolled blood pressure (systolic blood pressure [BP] > 140 mmHg or diastolic BP >
90 mmHg) in spite of an optimized regimen of antihypertensive medication
- Women who are or are planning to become pregnant or breastfeed
- Known allergy to any of the components within the study agents and/or their excipients

basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, adequately treated
stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any
other cancer from which the patient has been disease free for at least two years
- Participants must not have received radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study
intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities,
not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout
is permitted for palliative radiation (=< 2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-central
nervous system (CNS) disease
- Participants must not have known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous
meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate
provided they are radiologically stable, i.e. without evidence of progression for at
least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed
during study screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid
treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention
- Participants may not be currently participating in or participated in a study of
an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks
prior to the first dose of study intervention
- Intercurrent or historic medical condition that increases subject risk in the opinion
of the Investigator. Eligibility may be revisited for intercurrent medical conditions
once resolution/recovery is deemed adequate by the investigator (e.g. recovery from
major surgery, completion of treatment for severe infection)
- Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles,
mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus
Calmette-Guerin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection
are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza
vaccines (eg, FluMist) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed
- Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
(i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive
drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid

pneumonitis
- Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
- Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

reactive) or known active hepatitis C virus (defined as hepatitis C virus [HCV]
ribonucleic acid [RNA] [qualitative] is detected) infection. Note: no testing for
Hepatitis B and hepatitis C is required unless mandated by local health authority
- Has a known history of active TB (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
- Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality
that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the subject's

the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator
- Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with
cooperation with the requirements of the trial
- Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the

than New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, unstable angina, myocardial
infarction or stroke within 6 months of the first dose of study drug, or cardiac
arrhythmia requiring medical treatment at Screening
- Bleeding or thrombotic disorders or subjects at risk for severe hemorrhage
- The degree of tumor invasion/infiltration of major blood vessels (e.g. carotid
artery) should be considered because of the potential risk of severe hemorrhage
associated with tumor shrinkage/necrosis following lenvatinib therapy
- Subjects having > 1+ proteinuria on urine dipstick testing unless a 24-hour urine
collection for quantitative assessment indicates that the urine protein is < 1 g/24
hours
- Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to
comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to
feasibility/logistics)
