Brief Summary: The prognosis for unresectable and metastatic biliary tract cancers BTCs including cholangiocarcinoma is poor with first line gemcitabine and cisplatin offering a median overall survival of 117 months There is no standard second- or third-line therapy for advanced BTC and this represents an unmet medical need for novel therapies The immune system plays a critical role in the development of Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinoma BTC and chronic inflammation is a common underlying risk factor for BTC Vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF signaling in BTC may lead to an immune suppression via inadequate tumor antigen presentation and an impaired T cell-mediated immune response directed against tumor antigens Lenvatinib significantly decreased the population of immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages and increased interferon-γ-producing cluster of differentiation 8 CD8 T cells Addition of programmed cell death protein 1 PD-1programmed death-ligand PD-L1 inhibitors helps reverse VEGF-mediated immune suppression restore T cell function and promote T cell tumor infiltration The combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab has demonstrated promising activity with manageable adverse events in various solid tumor types

The investigators will assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of pembrolizumab and lenvatinib in patients with advanced BTC who failed standard therapy in this phase II study

Objectives and Endpoints

Primary Objective Evaluate the objective response rate ORR RECIST11 of lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced BTC after progression on standard systemic therapies Secondary Objective Evaluate the safety and tolerability of lenvatinibpembrolizumab in this population Determine the duration of response DOR progression free survival PFS and overall survival OS Determine the ORR PFS and OS of subgroups stratified by molecular signatures tumor mutation burden PD-L1 expression microsatellite instability MSI status isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH or FGFR mutationfusion status in a pre-planned post-hoc analysis Define molecular correlates of response including circulating biomarkers and tumor tissue biomarkers Study Population The study will enroll 40 patients who have unresectable or metastatic histologically-confirmed advanced BTC Both male and female patients age of 18 years or older who have failed standard systemic therapy for advanced BTC with measurable disease adequate bone marrow reserve and hepaticrenal function and ECOG performance status PS 0-1 could be eligible to participate in the study after completing the study enrollment screening tests and procedures
