About this trial

MITO VULVA-1 is a prospective, single arm, multi-cohorts, phase II trial that aims to assess the activity and the safety of Lenvatinib plus Pembrolizumab in patients with vulvar cancer. 80 patients will be overall enrolled in the study.Three cohorts are planned

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed informed consent prior to any study specific procedure;

Female, age ≥ 18 years at time of signing informed consent;

T2 or T3 primary tumors (N0-3, M0) not amenable to surgical resection by standard radical vulvectomy (Cohort A) OR

recurrent or de novo metastatic chemotherapy-naive vulvar squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and mixed histology (adenosquamous) of the vulva, (Cohort B) OR

Disqualifiers

Patients with vulvar melanomas, sarcomas, vulvar Paget's disease, or basal cell carcinoma;

Patients diagnosed with early-stage vulvar cancer that, according to the Investigator, can be treated with upfront curative surgery;

Patients who have received any systemic anticancer therapy for vulvar cancer, anti-VEGF therapy, or any systemic investigational anticancer agent including radiotherapy (Cohort A and B); patients who have received any further systemic therapy for advanced disease after progression to a first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (Cohort C);

Received a live vaccine or live attenuated within 30 days of planned start of study treatment (Cycle 1/Day 1). Note: The killed virus vaccines (ie seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are allowed);

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Pembrolizumab

    Drug

    Pembrolizumab 200 mg IV infusion (30 minute) is administered at Day 1 of each 21-days cycle.Pembrolizumab will be administered up to 35 cycles.

  • Lenvatinib Capsules

    Drug

    .Lenvatinib 20 mg (two 10-mg capsules) QD will be taken orally with water (with or without food) in 21-day cycles at approximately the same time each day. On Day 1 of each Pembrolizumab cycle, Lenvatinib will be administered within 1 hour after Pembrolizumab.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR)

Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR) as defined by recist1.1 calculated as the proportion of patients achieving complete or partial response relative to total patients enrolled

Time frame
every 12 weeks from enrollment until disease progression (up to 72 months)
2

Toxicity in the overall study population (all the three cohorts together).

Toxicity rate is defined as the proportion of patients experiencing any grade AE accordingly to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events (NCI CTC-AE) Version 5, relative to the total of patients receiving at least one cycle of treatment Toxicity will be evaluated also using Patient Reported Outcome Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events ( PRO-CTCAE) questionnaire.

Time frame
At baseline during screening period (within 7 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1), at day 1 of the first 4 cycles for patients in all cohorts. Cycle is defined as 21 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Progression free survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time elapsed from the date of randomization to the date of progression, as defined by investigators, or the date of death, whichever comes first. PFS will be evaluated in each single cohort

Time frame
until progression of disease (up to 72 months)
2

Overall Survival (OS)

OS is defined as the time elapsed from randomization to death due to any cause. OS will be evaluated in each single cohort. Patients alive at end of the study will censored at the date of the last follow-up contact

Time frame
up to 72 months
3

Toxicity

Description of overall safety of Pembrolizumab and Lenvatinib in patients who receive more than 4 cycles of treatment Toxicity rate is defined as the proportion of patients experiencing any grade AE accordingly to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events (NCI CTC-AE) Version 5 Toxicity will be evaluated also using Patient Reported Outcome Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events ( PRO-CTCAE) questionnaire.

Time frame
At the end of Cycle 5 day 1 ( each cycle is 21 days), until progression disease. (Up to 72 months)
