Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy compared with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line intervention in participants with metastatic esophageal carcinoma The primary hypotheses are that pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy is superior to pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy with respect to overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR).


Description:

There will be 2 parts to the study: the cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (FP) and paclitaxel and cisplatin (TP) Safety Run-in (Part 1) and the Main Study (Part 2). In Part 1 (FP and TP Safety Run-in), participants will be treated with pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus FP or TP. Dose-limiting toxicities, safety, and tolerability will be assessed. In Part 2 (Main Study), participants (not including those participating in Part 1) will be treated with pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib plus chemotherapy or pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy. Efficacy, safety, and tolerability will be assessed.

Secondary Part 2 (Main Study): Change From Baseline in Health-related Quality of life (HRQoL) Score Using European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall HRQoL. Participant responses to the question " How would you rate your overall quality of life (QoL) during the past week?" are scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent). A higher score indicates a better overall QoL. Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. The change from baseline in HRQoL EORTC QLQ-C30 score in participants in Part 2 will be presented. Baseline and ~24 months
Secondary Part 2 (Main Study): Change From Baseline in HRQoL Score Using EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Oesophageal Module (QLQ-OES18) The EORTC QLQ-OES18 is a disease-specific questionnaire to assess measurements specific to esophageal cancer. It contains 18 items and is based on four subscales-dysphagia, eating, reflux and pain. All items are scored using a four-point scale that offers these response choices: 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much. A higher score indicates worse level of symptoms. Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. The change from baseline in HRQoL QLQ-OES18 score in participants in Part 2 will be presented. Baseline and ~24 months
Secondary Part 2 (Main Study): Time to Deterioration (TTD) in HRQoL Score Using EORTC QLQ-C30 TTD is defined as the time from baseline to the first onset of a =10-point change from baseline in the HRQoL EORTC QLQ-C30 score. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess the overall HRQoL. Participant responses to the question " How would you rate your overall QoL during the past week?" are scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent). A higher score indicates a better overall QoL. Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A longer TTD indicates a better outcome. The TTD in HRQoL EORTC QLQ-C30 score in participants in Part 2 will be presented. Up to ~ 24 months
Secondary Part 2 (Main Study): TTD in HRQoL Score Using EORTC QLQ-OES18 TTD is defined as the time from baseline to the first onset of a =10-point change from baseline in the HRQoL EORTC QLQ-OES18 score. The EORTC QLQ-OES18 is a disease-specific questionnaire to assess measurements specific to esophageal cancer. It contains 18 items and is based on four subscales-dysphagia, eating, reflux and pain. All items are scored using a four-point scale that offers these response choices: 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much. A higher score indicates worse level of symptoms. Using linear transformation, raw scores are standardized, so that scores range from 0 to 100. A longer TTD indicates a better outcome. The TTD in HRQoL QLQ-OES18 score in participants in Part 2 will be presented. Up to ~ 24 months
