Summary

This trial is studying how well Lenvatinib in combination with Pembrolizumab works in treating patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP).

Who is the study for?
Adults with HPV-related recurrent respiratory papillomatosis affecting the larynx, trachea, or lungs. Participants must have had multiple surgeries for laryngeal disease and provide recent biopsy samples. They should not be pregnant, agree to contraception use, and have no severe heart issues or uncontrolled blood pressure. Excludes those with certain serious health conditions, recent cancer treatments, or live vaccines.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of two drugs: Pembrolizumab and Lenvatinib in patients with HPV-associated respiratory growths that keep coming back. The study aims to see how well these drugs work together to treat this condition.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include high blood pressure, fatigue, immune system reactions that could affect organs like the lungs (pneumonitis), liver problems, bleeding risks, kidney issues from protein loss in urine and potential harm to an unborn baby.
