Summary

This trial is testing a new combination therapy for uterine carcinosarcoma and will also look for biomarkers that could predict how well patients will respond to the treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with advanced uterine carcinosarcoma who've had one platinum-based chemo and up to three systemic therapies. They must have measurable cancer lesions, stable blood pressure, and adequate organ function. Excluded are those with recent investigational drugs, active autoimmune diseases or pneumonitis, other cancers within two years, CNS metastases, significant liver disease or cardiovascular issues.
What is being tested?
Researchers are testing the effectiveness of combining Pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) with Lenvatinib (a targeted therapy) in treating advanced uterine carcinosarcoma. The study also aims to identify biomarkers that could predict how well these treatments work against this type of cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include high blood pressure, fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, thyroid dysfunction from Lenvatinib; immune-related adverse effects like inflammation in organs from Pembrolizumab; plus common risks such as bleeding or infection.
