Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) with lenvatinib (E7080/MK-7902) vs. docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and progressive disease (PD) after platinum doublet chemotherapy and treatment with one prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb). The primary hypotheses of this study are that pembrolizumab + lenvatinib (compared with docetaxel) prolongs: 1) overall survival (OS); and progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) based on blinded independent central review (BICR).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to ~48 months ]
    OS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death due to any cause.

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) [ Time Frame: Up to ~36 months ]
    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS will be assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST 1.1, modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ.

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions). ORR will be assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1, modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ.

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) - Pembrolizumab+Lenvatinib vs. Lenvatinib Monotherapy [ Time Frame: Up to ~36 months ]

ORR will be assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1, modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ.

  3. Duration of Response (DOR) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) [ Time Frame: Up to ~48 months ]
    DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. DOR will be assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1, modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ.
