This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of lenvatinib in combination with pembrolizumab, and hypofractionated pelvic radiation therapy in treating patients with mismatch repair protein proficient (pMMR) endometrial cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Lenvatinib blocks the activity of proteins called receptor tyrosine kinases. These proteins help blood vessel grow. Tumors need blood from blood vessels to grow and spread (metastasize). Lenvatinib may also work by helping immune cells kill tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time compared to conventional radiation therapy. Tumor cells that have a working mismatch repair system (mismatch repair protein proficient) can repair damage to their genes. This makes it harder for cancer drugs to shrink or destroy tumors. Combination therapy with lenvatinib, pembrolizumab, and hypofractionated pelvic radiation therapy may be effective in treating patients with recurrent or unresectable pMMR endometrial cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of lenvatinib combined with fixed doses of pembrolizumab and hypofractionated (HypoFx) pelvic external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) based on assessment of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the overall response rate (ORR) of lenvatinib combined with fixed doses of pembrolizumab and HypoFx pelvic EBRT.
II. To determine the side effect profile of the combination regimen of lenvatinib, pembrolizumab, and HypoFx pelvic EBRT.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Bank peripheral blood for future studies to evaluate biomarkers for treatment response, such as circulating tumor such as circulating T-cell subpopulations, circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA), and cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA).
II. Evaluate the imaging features of relapsed pMMR genotype pelvic endometrial carcinoma (EC) as well as the sites of recurrence and to correlate these features with tumor response.
II. Evaluate the tumor response based on immune-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST).
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of lenvatinib in combination with fixed-dose pembrolizumab and hypofractionated radiation therapy.
Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) on days 1, 22, and 43 and lenvatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) starting on day 1 and continuing until the last dose of HypoFx whole pelvic EBRT in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Starting on day 22, patients undergo HypoFx whole pelvic EBRT QD (Monday-Friday) for 16 days, followed by pelvic boost HypoFx EBRT QD (Monday-Friday) for 7 days. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 5 years.
