Background: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognosis without targetable mutations. The combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab has shown clinical activity in different types of solid tumors.
Case presentation: We report a case of one patient with metastatic TNBC who has been heavily pretreated. The patient had been treated with multiple lines (≥ 8 lines) of chemotherapy without durable clinical responses. Her tumor regressed significantly under the combination of lenvatinib and immune checkpoint inhibitor, and remains stable for 10 months.
Conclusions: The combination of lenvatinib and immune checkpoint inhibitor may have significant clinical activity in selective patients with heavily pretreated metastatic TNBC.
Keywords: immune checkpoint inhibitors; lenvatinib; pembrolizumab; personalized treatment; triple negative breast cancer.
