NCT ID NCT06673628

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of two drugs, pembrolizumab and lenvatinib, in 38 people with a rare and aggressive skin cancer called cutaneous angiosarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes. Participants will receive the drugs for up to two years, with regular monitoring for safety and effectiveness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

pembrolizumab and lenvatinib

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for a rare skin cancer that currently has a very low survival rate.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause side effects and may not shrink tumors in all patients.
