Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of belzutifan in combination with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib in multiple solid tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), colorectal cancer (CRC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), biliary tract cancer (BTC), endometrial cancer (EC),and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). There is no formal hypothesis testing in this study.

- Arm 1: Pembrolizumab + Belzutifan + Lenvatinib
- description
- Participants will receive pembrolizumab 400 mg PLUS belzutifan 120 mg PLUS lenvatinib 20 mg (For HCC: 8 mg \[body weight \<60kg\] or 12 mg \[body weight ≥ 60 kg\]). Pembrolizumab will be administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once every 6 weeks (Q6W) for a maximum of 18 doses (approximately 2 years). Belzutifan and lenvatinib will be administered orally once daily (QD) until progressive disease or discontinuation.
