The purpose of this research is to examine if an experimental drug combination impacts the survival rate of individuals with Leptomeningeal Metastases This research study involves an experimental drug combination. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Pembrolizumab * Lenvatinib
This is a single arm Phase 2 study of pembrolizumab in combination with lenvatinib in patients with leptomeningeal metastases from any solid tumor. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment, including evaluations and follow up visits. * The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Pembrolizumab * Lenvatinib The study treatment will last for up to 35 cycles (a cycle is 21 days long), or until the disease gets worse or unacceptable side effects. Participants will be followed for up to 90 days after the end of the study treatment. It is expected that about 19 people will take part in this research study. This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug combination to learn whether the drug combination works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the drug combination is being studied. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved pembrolizumab or lenvatinib for this specific disease but each has been approved for other uses. . .

Proportion of Participants alive at 6 months
The proportion of patients alive at 6 months will be summarized with a 90% confidence interval estimated using the method of Atkinson and Brown (Biometrics, 1985), which allows for the two-stage design. Based on a sample of 19 patients, the confidence interval will be no wider than 33%
Time frame: 6 months
Proportion of Participants with Grade 3 or higher toxicities
The proportion of patients with Grade 3 or higher toxicities will be presented with 90% exact binomial confidence intervals. The incidence of events that are new or worsening from the time of first dose of treatment will be summarized according to system organ class and/or preferred term, severity (based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 CTCAE grade), type of adverse event, and relation to study treatment. Deaths reportable as SAEs and non-fatal serious adverse events will be listed by patient and tabulated by primary system organ class, and type of adverse event
Time frame: first dose of study treatment up to the 30-Day Post Drug Visit up to 30 Months
Proportion of evaluable participants with intracranial/intraspinal response
The proportion of evaluable patients with intracranial/intraspinal response (CR or PR by RANO) will be presented with a two-sided, 90% exact binomial confidence interval.
Time frame: 30 Months
Proportion of evaluable participants with extracranial response
The proportion of evaluable patients with extracranial response (CR or PR by RECIST 1.1) will be presented with a two-sided, 90% exact binomial confidence interval. For a sample of 19 patients, the confidence interval will have maximum width of 33%
Time frame: 30 Months
Intracranial/intraspinal Progression Free Survival (IPFS)
The distribution of intracranial/intraspinal PFS (IPFS) in participants will be summarized using the method of Kaplan-Meier. IPFS is defined as the time from registration to documented intracranial/intraspinal progression (RANO) or death, whichever occurs first. Patients who have neither died nor progressed at the time of analysis will be censored at the date of last adequate disease assessment.

Time frame: 30 Months
Median Intracranial/intraspinal Progression Free Survival (IPFS)
Median IPFS will be presented and accompanied by 90% confidence intervals estimated using log(-log(survival)) methodology. Point estimates at 3 and 6 months will also be presented with confidence intervals. .
Time frame: 30 Months
Extracranial Progression Free Survival (EPFS)
The distribution of extracranial PFS (EPFS) will be summarized using the method of Kaplan-Meier. EPFS is defined as the time from registration to documented extracranial progression (RANO) or death, whichever occurs first. Patients who have neither died nor progressed at the time of analysis will be censored at the date of last adequate disease assessment.
Time frame: 30 Months
Median Extracranial Progression Free Survival (EPFS)
Median EPFS will be presented and accompanied by 90% confidence intervals estimated using log(-log(survival)) methodology. Point estimates at 3 and 6 months will also be presented with confidence intervals.
Time frame: 30 Months
Overall Survival
The distribution of overall survival will be summarized using the method of Kaplan-Meier. (OS) is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause, or censored at date last known alive
Time frame: 30 Months
Median Overall Survival
median OS will be presented and accompanied by 90% confidence intervals estimated using log(-log(survival)) methodology. (OS) is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause, or censored at date last known alive
Time frame: 30 Months
Proportion of participants with leptomeningeal metastases from breast cancer alive
The proportion of patients with leptomeningeal metastases from breast cancer alive at 6 months will be summarized with a 90% two-sided, exact binomial confidence interval. The maximum width of the confidence intervals is 0.55.
Time frame: 6 months
