Aim: Describe treatment and dosing patterns of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab combination therapy (lenva+pembro) among endometrial cancer (EC) patients in US clinical practice. Materials & methods: Retrospective cohort study among adults with EC initiating lenva+pembro in second line (2L) or third line and later [≥3L] between 17 September 2019 and 30 June 2021. Results: 110 patients initiated lenva+pembro in 2L and 135 patients in ≥3L. Majority of patients initiated lenva+pembro at label-recommended starting doses/interval. Less than half changed lenvatinib dose over time. At median follow-up of 7.3 and 8.7 months, median (95% CI) duration of therapy was 5.1 (4.7-6.1) and 5.8 (4.2-7.3) months for patients in 2L and ≥3L, respectively. Conclusion: Lenva+pembro was mostly initiated at label-recommended dose.
