Subjects with stable brain metastases after previous treatment may participate as long as no radiologic evidence of progression lasts for at least four weeks prior to this trial and any neurological symptoms have returned to baseline, and no new or enlarged metastatic evidence in brain and no steroids use for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. Cancer meningitis should be excluded regardless of clinical stability.

• History of active tuberculosis, such as mycobacterium tuberculosis.
• Intolerant of any drug (or any excipient) in this trial.
• Female patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or refuse contraception.
• Known or untreated brain metastases, or patients with epilepsy who need medication treatment.
• Patients with bone metastases received palliative radiotherapy (radiation area > 5% bone marrow area) within 4 weeks prior to this study, or there were wounds, ulcers or fractures that could not be healed, or patients have organ transplantation history.
• Gastrointestinal bleeding history in the past 6 months or tendency to gastrointestinal bleeding, such as esophageal varices, local active ulceration lesions, fecal occult blood ≥ (++) (gastroscopy is required when fecal occult blood is (+)).
• Evidence or history of ≥3 grade (CTCAE5.0) bleeding events.
• History of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
• History of hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infection, and not receive regular treatment.
• Severe non-healing wounds, ulcers or fractures.
• Prior treatment with either lenvatinib or any kind of anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 or anti-PD-L2 drugs.
• There were no active autoimmune diseases that require systemic treatment such as disease modifying drugs, corticosteroids or immunosuppressants in the past 2 years. Alternative therapies with thyroxine, insulin or corticosteroid are not considered as systemic therapy.
• Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or systemic steroid therapy or any form of immunosuppressants therapy within 7 days prior to this study. A physiological dose of corticosteroids (no more than 7.5 mg/d prednisone or equivalent) can be approved after clinical evaluation.
• There exists drug abuse, or any medical, psychological or social condition which might affect the study, the compliance or even the safety of patients.
• Variable factors which significantly affect drug use and absorption, such as inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea and intestinal obstruction.
• Any >1 grade (CTC-AE5.0) unresolved toxicity due to previous treatment or operation, except for hair loss, anemia, and hypothyroidism.
• Vaccination of any live virus vaccine within 30 days prior to this study, except for seasonal flu vaccines without live virus.
• Previous and current evidence of pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, radiation pneumonitis, drug-associated pneumonia and severe impairment of lung function.
• Received a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor treatment within 7 days prior to the study, or received a potent CYP3A4 inducer within 12 days prior to the study.
• Women with fertility agree to abstinence during the treatment period and at least 6 months after the last dose (avoiding heterosexual intercourse) or using a contraceptive method with an annual contraceptive failure rate <1%.
• If a female patient has menstruation and not reached the postmenopausal state (continuously no menstruation ≥ 12 months and no other causes), and has not undergone sterilization by removing the ovaries and/or uterus), then the patient has fertility.
• Contraceptive methods with a contraceptive failure rate <1% include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices and copper intrauterine devices.
• The reliability of sexual desire should be evaluated relative to the duration of the clinical trial and lifestyle of patient. Periodic abstinence (eg. calendar days, ovulation, symptomatic body temperature or post-ovulation methods) and in vitro ejaculation are unacceptable methods of contraception.
• Male patients agree to abstinence (no heterosexual intercourse) or use of contraceptive measures and no sperm donation, as defined below:
• When a female partner has fertility, male patients must abstinence from sex during treatment and at least 6 months after the last dose of treatment, or use condoms and other contraceptive methods with contraceptive failure rate <1%. At the same time, male patients must also agree not to donate sperm.
• When a female partner is pregnant, the male patient must abstinence or using a condom during the treatment period and at least 6 months after the last dose of treatment to prevent the fetus from being affected by the study.
• The reliability of sexual desire should be evaluated relative to the duration of the clinical trial and lifestyle of patient. Periodic abstinence (eg. calendar days, ovulation, symptomatic body temperature or post-ovulation methods) and in vitro ejaculation are unacceptable methods of contraception.
• Patients are unsuitable for participation in this research after comprehensive assessment by the researchers.
• Patients participate in another clinical study at the same time.
