LEAP-001 Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of a new immunotherapy drug combination to chemotherapy for women with advanced endometrial cancer. The hypothesis is that the immunotherapy combo will be better than chemo in terms of progression-free survival and overall survival.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women with advanced (Stage III or IV) or recurrent endometrial carcinoma. Participants must have a performance status indicating they can carry out daily activities with little to no assistance, controlled blood pressure, and adequate organ function. They should not be pregnant or breastfeeding and agree to use contraception if of childbearing potential.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib against standard chemotherapy in improving survival without cancer progression. It's designed to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone for patients with certain stages of endometrial cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include high blood pressure, fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, weight loss, urinary tract infections, protein in urine, headache, vomiting and joint/muscle pain from Lenvatinib; immune-related adverse effects like inflammation in organs from Pembrolizumab; hair loss and nerve damage from Paclitaxel; low blood counts leading to infection risk from Carboplatin.
