SUMMARY

Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare cancer for which effective treatment has not been developed sufficiently. Still, because it often occurs in elderly people, the number of patients is increasing due to the aging population. Cutaneous angiosarcoma is difficult to completely remove by surgery, and recurrence and metastasis after surgery are not uncommon. Therefore, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a combination of these are currently widely used as treatments. Traditionally, the anticancer drug used for cutaneous angiosarcoma was mainly doxorubicin. In recent years, it has been reported that cancer shrank in 18% of patients after two months of paclitaxel administration in a clinical trial. Therefore, paclitaxel has become more commonly used for cutaneous angiosarcoma. Other options include anthracycline anticancer drugs and gemcitabine. However, even with these anticancer drugs (and radiation therapy), cutaneous angiosarcoma progresses quickly, and some reports have said that the 5-year survival rate is 9%. This study is planned to develop a safer and more effective treatment for cutaneous angiosarcoma and will include 38 participants. In this study, eligible participants will receive combination chemotherapy with 200 mg of pembrolizumab (injection liquid, once every 3 weeks) and 20 mg of lenvatinib (capsule, once daily) for up to approximately two years as protocol treatment unless the criteria for termination meet. Before, during, and after the protocol treatment, participants will undergo many examinations and evaluations, including blood tests, urine tests, and imaging tests (e.g., x-ray, CT scan, or MRI) to assess the safety and efficacy of the protocol treatment.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 18
Maximum Age: 85
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

⁃ Histologically diagnosed with cutaneous angiosarcoma.

⁃ Unresectable primary or metastatic disease.

⁃ No spinal metastases that require radiotherapy or surgical intervention.

⁃ No pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, or ascites that require treatment.

⁃ Age at enrollment: 18 years or older and 85 years or younger.

⁃ The most recent performance status score (ECOG) within 14 days prior to enrollment is 0 or 1.

⁃ A contrast-enhanced CT/MRI (head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis: slice thickness 5 mm or less) performed within 14 days prior to enrollment or have at least one measurable lesion that can be confirmed to be present on the surface of the body by visual inspection (for patients with contrast allergy or renal function deterioration, plain CT is allowed).

⁃ Cohort A (untreated patients): Cutaneous angiosarcoma without prior therapy. Cohort B (previously treated patients): Cutaneous angiosarcoma with prior therapy.

⁃ Have adequately controlled BP with or without antihypertensive medications (of 2 or less counted by components), defined as BP \<=150/90 mmHg with no change in antihypertensive medications within 7 days prior to enrollment.

‣ Wounds (e.g., those after a surgical procedure or trauma) have healed at enrollment.

‣ Did not have major surgery within 21 days prior to the first dose of study interventions. Note: Adequate wound healing after major surgery must be assessed clinically, independent of time elapsed for eligibility.

‣ Laboratory tests performed within 14 days before the enrollment date meet the following criteria: (1) to (10). However, patients should not receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or blood transfusions within 14 days before the day of blood collection.

∙ (1) Neutrophil count \>=1,500/mm3 (2) Platelet count \>=10×104/mm3 (3) Hemoglobin \>=9.0 g/dL (4) AST \<=100 U/L (5) ALT\<=100 U/L (6) Total bilirubin \<=1.5 mg/dL (7) Serum creatinine \<=1.5 mg/dL (8) Creatinine/clearance \>=30 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault). (Even if the calculated value is less than 30 mL/min, it can be registered if the value is more than 30 mL/min by the 24-hour urine collection method).

∙ (9) Urine protein \<1 g/24 hours. Note: Participants with proteinuria \>=2+ on urine dipstick testing (urinalysis) will undergo 24-hour urine collection for quantitative assessment of proteinuria.

∙ (10) PT-INR \<=1.5 13) Male patients agree to use highly effective contraception and not donate sperm during treatment and for at least 120 days after the last dose of the investigational drugs.

∙ Female patients agree to use contraception methods, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:

• Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP).

• Is a WOCBP tested negative by pregnancy test within 14 days prior to enrollment, and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective, with low user dependency, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle during the intervention period and for at least 120 days post pembrolizumab or 30 days post lenvatinib, whichever occurs last. A WOCBP must have a negative result of a highly sensitive pregnancy test within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention.

• 14\) Twenty-eight days have passed since the last day of prior chemotherapy if applicable, and the patient has recovered from all toxicities except alopecia and blood toxicity (below Grade 1 or to baseline).

• 15\) Written informed consent for study participation has been obtained from the patient.
