      Dear Fighters,

      STAGE 4 from Dec-2019. After 10 months of TAF/MEK treatment (Targeted Therapy) with good results, due to some progression in brain, I must to change to Pembro (Immunotherapy). I have a chance to get in clinical trial with Pembio + Lenvatinib. In this trial I have 50% chance of take Lenvatinib drug.

      Is there someone participating in this clinical trial? Can you share me your experience?
      I just see one post talking about Lenva, published last year.

      Kind reagards,

      JayA

          Hi Jay,
          I have been on the leap-004 trial of pembro and Lenvatinib for 15 months (definitely on the Lenvatinib). I’ve had some progression that we’ve managed with radiation but generally it has kept things under control. It’s a tough trial though, lots of blood pressure issues, they watch your cardiac status closely, have some neuropathy, currently having some liver enzyme issues. Tired most of the time, nausea for several months now. From what I hear, there are a few on the trial (I’m in Toronto) and sounds like the results are pretty reasonable across the board, but it’s been a tough slog.

          Hope his helps!
          Linda

              Dear Jay and Linda, I just found this post tonight on twitter about this trial

              It posts to a more detailed study with response rates
              It seems that they think it makes a difference for those who progressed on anti PD1, they are getting some responses
              Hope this helps
              Mark

                    For me they are too hard to understand – my intuition is that they are seeing some benefits, and that this is a good result given earlier progression on PD1
                    Probably best to discuss with your oncologist, or for experts here to chip in. Or maybe they will summarize later in an onclive video
