Endpoints
Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 27 months ]
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as determined by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.
Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
OS is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death from any cause.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 27 months ]
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have best overall response of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as determined by BICR per RECIST 1.1.
Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Score Using the European Organization for Research and Treatment (EORTC) Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) Version 3.0 [ Time Frame: Baseline (prior to first dose of study treatment in Cycle 1 [cycle length = 21 days]) and at the end of follow-up (up to approximately 43 months) ]
Change from baseline in HRQoL using the global score of EORTC QLQ-C30 will be determined. EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer specific health-related quality-of life (QoL) questionnaire, which contains 30 items and measures 5 functional dimensions (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), 3 symptom items (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), 6 single items (dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial impact), and a global health and QoL scale. The score for each item and the overall score ranges from 0 to 100. A high overall scale and subscale scores represent improved health status. However, in case of individual symptoms, higher scores suggest increased perception of these symptoms of life.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
The number of participants experiencing an AE will be assessed. An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease (new or worsening) temporally associated with the use of study therapy, regardless of whether or not a causal relationship with the study therapy can be determined.
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAE) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
The number of participants experiencing an SAE will be assessed. A SAE is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a cancer, is associated with an overdose, or is another important medical event.
Number of Participants With Immune-related Adverse Events (irAE) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
The number of participants experiencing an irAE will be assessed. An irAE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended immune-related sign, symptom, or disease (new or worsening) temporally associated with the use of study therapy, regardless of whether or not a causal relationship with the study therapy can be determined.
Number of Participants With Treatment Discontinuations Due to AEs [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be assessed.
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) Due to Treatment Emergent AEs [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
Time to treatment failure due to toxicity, defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date that a participant discontinues study treatment due to AEs.
Model-Predicted Area Under the Concentration time Curve of Lenvatinib Based on Starting Dose From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC 0-∞) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 15: predose and 2-12 hours postdose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 0.5 - 4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle length = 21 days ]
Model-Predicted Apparent Total Body Clearance (Cl/F) of Lenvatinib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 15: predose and 2-12 hours postdose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 0.5 - 4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle length = 21 days ]
Model-Predicted Apparent Total Body Volume of Distribution (Vd/F) of Lenvatinib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 15: predose and 2-12 hours postdose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 0.5 - 4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle length = 21 days ]

2. Documented evidence of advanced, recurrent or metastatic EC.
3. Radiographic evidence of disease progression after 1 prior systemic,
platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for recurrent, metastatic or primary

tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI). Lesions that have
had external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or locoregional therapy must show radiographic evidence of subsequent growth.
6. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 within 3 days of starting study
treatment.
7. Female participants age ≥18 years and considered an adult per local
regulations at the time of informed consent.
8. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (see
Appendix 2), not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions
applies:
a.) Not a WOCBP as defined in Appendix 2
OR
b.) A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in
Appendix 2 during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the
last dose of study treatment.
9. The participant provides written informed consent for the study.
10. Adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with or without antihypertensive
medications, defined as BP ≤150/90 mm Hg at Screening and no change in

collected within 3 days prior to the start of study treatment.
Exclusion Criteria
Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
1. Carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed Műllerian tumor), endometrial
leiomyosarcoma and endometrial stromal sarcomas.
2. Participants with CNS metastases are not eligible, unless they have
completed local therapy (eg, whole brain radiation therapy [WBRT],

4. Gastrointestinal malabsorption, gastrointestinal anastomosis, or any other
condition that might affect the absorption of lenvatinib.
5. Radiographic evidence of major blood vessel invasion/infiltration. The
degree of tumor invasion/infiltration of major blood vessels should be
considered because of the potential risk of severe hemorrhage associated
with tumor shrinkage/necrosis following lenvatinib therapy.

RNA [qualitative] is detected). No testing for hepatitis B or C is required
unless mandated by local health authority.
12. Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required treatment with
steroids, or has current pneumonitis.
13. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory
abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the
participant's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the
best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating
investigator.
14. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere

required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (ie, with use of disease
modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).

replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered
a form of systemic treatment.

documented by a positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG] (or
hCG) test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 IU/L or equivalent units of
β-hCG [or hCG]). A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative

stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137)
other than an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent, and who
discontinued from that treatment due to a Grade 3 or higher immune-related
adverse event (irAE).
22. Prior radiation therapy within 21 days prior to start of study treatment with
the exception of palliative radiotherapy to bone lesions, which is allowed if
completed 2 weeks prior to study treatment start.
