Lenvatinib, Pembrolizumab, and FulvestrantExperimentalThis is an open-label phase Ib/II trial of lenvatinib (20mg orally PO daily) plus pembrolizumab (400mg IV Q6W) plus fulvestrant (500mg IM Q4W) in patients with unresectable, locally advanced/metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer.
Receives: Drug: Lenvatinib; Drug: Pembrolizuma; Drug: Fulvestrant

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The number of adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities to find the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)

    of the combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab plus fulvestrant and to confirm the AEs will be graded using National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE Version v5.0. Investigators will decide the probability of the event being related to one, two or all three drugs as to whether dose modification of lenvatinib is required.MTD/RP2D of the triplet.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Lenvatinib, Pembrolizuma and Fulvestrant in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 7 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 42 inclusion and 34 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The number of adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities to find the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2026.
