The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib
(E7080/MK-7902) plus pembrolizumab (MK-3475) plus chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy
alone in participants with advanced/metastatic gastroesophageal cancer.
The primary study hypotheses are that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is
superior to chemotherapy alone for both overall survival (OS) and progression-free
survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR), in participants with programmed
cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1 and in all participants.

There will be 2 parts to the study: a Safety Run-in (Part 1) and the Main Study (Part 2).
In Part 1 (Safety Run-in), approximately 12 participants will be treated with lenvatinib
in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy with either capecitabine and
oxaliplatin (CAPOX), or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), Leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6).
Participants will be closely followed for dose-limiting toxicities for 21 days after the
first dose of study intervention.
In Part 2, up to 878 eligible participants (not including those participating in Part 1)
will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab plus
chemotherapy (CAPOX or mFOLFOX6) or Chemotherapy alone (CAPOX or mFOLFOX6).
Participants can receive up to 18 infusions (up to 2 years) of pembrolizumab in the first
course. Participants may be eligible to receive a second course of pembrolizumab
(approximately 1 year) at the investigator's discretion.
As of Amendment 8 (Effective 06/10/2025), Second Course will no longer be offered. Any
participant currently receiving Second Course retreatment will be able to continue
treatment as planned. Imaging will be performed per local standard of care.
