Because we suspect that the benefit of anti-PD-1 in metastatic UM patients could vary according to previous exposure to Tebentafusp (better efficacy of anti-PD-1 after Tebentafusp), the combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib will be assessed in two independent cohorts: cohort 1 with Tebentafusp-naive patients, and cohort 2 with patients previously treated by Tebentafusp. The study is a monocentric, phase II trial with a single-arm of treatment in each cohort. Liver MRI and chest-abdomen-pelvis CT will be performed every 9 weeks until progressive disease (PD), followed by a Follow-up visit within 28 days after last treatment intake. Survival status will be registered after patient discontinuation.
After a screening phase of up to 28 days, each participant will receive assigned study intervention of pembrolizumab (maximum of 35 cycles) plus lenvatinib until reaching a discontinuation criterion including disease progression.

Survival status will be registered after patient discontinuation. Participants who discontinue for reasons other than radiographic PD will have post-treatment follow-up imaging for disease status until (i) PD is documented radiographically per RECIST 1.1, or (ii) a non-study anticancer treatment is initiated, or (iii) consent is withdrawn, or (iv) the participant becomes lost to follow-up. Lenvatinib will not be stopped for complete response (CR); participants should remain on lenvatinib until the discontinuation criterion are met. All participants will be followed for OS until death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or the end of the study. The survival status of all the participants will be collected at the date of the Last Visit of the Last Patient. Exploratory research on biomarkers of response or resistance will also be conducted.

Taken together, we hypothesize that combining pembrolizumab with lenvatinib in metastatic UM may target essential cellular oncogenic pathways while normalizing tumor vascularization, thus allowing an increased infiltration of the tumor by immune cells and an improved immune response.

Progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
PFS will be estimated as a crude rate at 27 weeks (+/- 2 weeks, i.e. 14 days) after the start of treatment. Will be considered progression events: objective clinical progression, radiological progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria and death from any cause.
Time frame: After 9 cycles (i.e. 27 weeks +/- 2 weeks)
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from the date of treatment start until the date of first objective clinical or radiological disease progression (RECIST 1.1) or death. Patients alive and without progression at the date of last contact will be censored at this date.
Time frame: From date of first study treaments intakes until the date of first documented progression assessed up to 30 months
Objective response rate (ORR)
Objective response rate using the RECIST criteria version 1.1 is defined as a Confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at nine cycles, 27 weeks (+/- 2 weeks, i.e. 14 days)
Time frame: After 9 cycles (i.e. 27 weeks +/- 2 weeks)
Progression-free survival (PFS) using the iRECIST criteria
27-weeks PFS using the iRECIST criteria, based on investigator assessment
Time frame: After 9 cycles (i.e. 27 weeks +/- 2 weeks)
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from the date of treatment start until the date of death due to any cause. Patients alive at the date of last contact will be censored at this date.
Time frame: From date of first study treatments intake until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months
