Exclusion Criteria:
- A women of child birth potential (WOCBP) who has a positive urine pregnancy test
within 72 hours prior to registration.
- Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents
within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives whichever is shorter prior to study entry. Patients may
not have received biologics, targeted therapy or immunotherapy for 4 weeks (6 weeks
for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C). Hormonal therapy is not considered anti-neoplastic
therapy.
- Has received prior radiotherapy within 3 weeks of start of study treatment.
Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require
corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 2-week washout is permitted
for palliative radiation (=< 2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-central nervous system
(CNS) disease
- Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are
allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., FluMist) are live attenuated
vaccines and are not allowed
- Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational
agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of
study treatment.
- Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy
(in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of
immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug
- Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment
within the past 3 years. Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin,
squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ (e.g. breast carcinoma,
cervical cancer in situ) that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not
excluded
- Has 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 treatment
- Has severe hypersensitivity (>= grade 3) to pembrolizumab, lenvatinib, or paclitaxel
and/or any of its excipients. Note, patients with paclitaxel hypersensitivity are
eligible if the if infusion can safely be completed with reduced infusion rates and
premedication
- 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
replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a
form of systemic treatment
- Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current
pneumonitis
- Has a known history of hepatitis B (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]
reactive) or known active hepatitis C virus (defined as HCV RNA [qualitative] is
detected) infection. Note: no testing for hepatitis B and hepatitis C is required
unless the patient is at risk for, or has symptoms or signs of, hepatitis
- Has a known history of active TB (Bacillus Tuberculosis)
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination
antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic
interactions with pembrolizumab, lenvatinib and paclitaxel. In addition, these
patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with
marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients
receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated
- Significant cardiovascular disease

the study drug.
- Neuropathy grade > 1
- Non-healing wound, bone fracture, or skin ulcer

gastrointestinal condition with increased risk of perforation; history of abdominal
fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 4 weeks prior
to administration of first dose of study drug
- Patients who have a history of a small or large bowel obstruction within 2 weeks of
screening or who have and active partial small bowel obstruction or percutaneous
endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)-tube
- Serious/active infection or infection requiring parenteral antibiotics
- Significant arterial or venous thromboembolic disease or vascular disorders within 6
months prior to administration of first dose of study drug, including by not limited
to:
- Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
- Peripheral ischemia > grade 2 (per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events
[CTCAE] version 4.03)
- Arterial thrombotic event
- Patients who have a history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolus < 3
months prior to enrollment must be excluded. However, if patients are on
therapeutic anticoagulation, and the deep vein thrombosis (DVT)/pulmonary
embolism (PE) has been clinically stable or improved on anticoagulation for > 3
months, patients are eligible.
- Patients with a history of clotting disorders must be excluded
- Significant bleeding disorders within 6 months prior to administration of first dose
of study drug
- Inability to swallow pills, malabsorption syndrome or gastrointestinal disease that
severely affects the absorption of study drugs, major resection of the stomach or
small bowel, or gastric bypass procedure
- 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
participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of
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 within the projected duration
of the study, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose
of trial treatment. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the potential
for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential
risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with
lenvatinib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated lenvatinib.
These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study
