Mesothelioma Clinical Trial Studies Keytruda, Lenvatinib Combination
The objective response rate of the Keytruda/lenvatinib combination was an impressive 58%.
In 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Keytruda for certain metastatic tumors, including certain cases of mesothelioma, but the search for an effective combination continues.
