Pharmacology
Pembrolizumab is a PD-1 blocking antibody that releases PD-1 pathway-mediated inhibition of the immune response by preventing the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby restoring anti-tumor immune response.
Lenvatinib is a multi-kinase inhibitor that inhibits VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3 kinase activities as well as FGFR1-4, PDGFRA, KIT, and RET, suppressing pathogenic angiogenesis and tumor growth; in combination with pembrolizumab or everolimus, it demonstrates enhanced antiangiogenic and antitumor activity.
