Inclusion criteria
. Male/female participants who are at least 19 years of age on the day of signing informed consent with histologically confirmed diagnosis of adrenal cortical carcinoma will be enrolled in this study.
. Patients with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic disease not amenable to surgery, radiotherapy, or combined modality therapy with curative intent.
. Patients who have received prior systemic therapy including combined mitotane and cisplatin-based chemotherapy as a palliative aim systemic therapy in advanced setting, and have had disease progression within 6 months of the last dose of the most recent systemic therapy. Patients who discontinued prior therapy due to intolerable toxicities can be included.
. Patients should have measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1 meeting the following criteria:
. at least 1 lesion of ≥10 mm in the longest diameter for a non-lymph node or ≥15 mm in the short-axis diameter for a lymph node that is serially measurable according to RECIST using CT or MRI
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
To assess the antitumor activity of pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib in patients with advanced ACC.
Timeframe: Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0, Imaging assessment by RECIST v1.1.
. lesions that have had external beam radiotherapy or other loco-regoinal therapies such as radiofrequency ablastion must show subsequent evidence of substantial size increase to be deemed a target lesion.
. Subject must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 to 1
. Adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with or without antihypertensive medications, defined as BP≤150/90 mmHg at screening and no change in hypertensive medications within 1 week prior to the cycle 1 day 1.
Exclusion criteria
. Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti PD L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137).
. Has received prior therapy with any VEGFR TKI or monoclonal antibody targeting VEGF pathway.
. Has received major surgery within 2 weeks of start of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from any toxicity and/or complications from major surgery prior to starting therapy.
. Previous radiotherapy to the only measurable lesion: but previous radiotherapy will be permitted unless the lesion is the only measurable lesion.
. Subjects having \>1+ proteinuria on urinalysis will undergo 24-hour urine collection for quantitative assessment of proteinuria. Subjects with urine protein ≥1g/24-hour will be ineligible.
. Gastrointestinal malabsorption, gastrointestinal obstruction, or any other condition that might affect the absorption of lenvatinib.
. Significant cardiovascular impairment within 6 months of the first dose of study drug. History of congestive heart failure greater than New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, unstable angina, myocardial infarction or stroke, cardiac arrhythmia associated with significant cardiovascular impairment, or a left ventricular ejection fracture (LVEF) below the institutional normal range as determined by MUGA or echocardiogram.
