Study Design 
Overall Design 
This study will be conducted in 2 parts (Part 1 and Part 2). Part 1 will assess the tolerability of 
lenvatinib in combination with nivolumab in subjects with HCC for which no other appropriate 
therapy is available. Part 2 is to further characterize the safety and to assess preliminary efficacy of 
the combination therapy in subjects with HCC with no prior systemic therapy.  Part 1 and Part 2 will 
consist of a Pretreatment Phase, a Treatment Phase, and a Follow-up Phase. The Pretreatment Phase 
will involve obtaining informed consent, a screening test, and a baseline assessment.  The Treatment 
CCI

Phase will start on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1).  Each cycle is 4 weeks long and subjects will continue 
treatment until they meet any of the criteria in “Discontinuation Criteria by Subject”.  The Follow-
up Phase will consist of the examinations at study discontinuation and the final observation 30 days 
after the final treatment.  
 
Part 1 
Study treatment and starting dose are as follows. 
 
Lenvatinib: 12 mg (Body weight [BW] ≥60 kg) or 8 mg (BW <60 kg) once daily orally. 
Nivolumab: 240 mg (every 2 weeks [Q2W], intravenous [IV]) (Days 1 and 15 of each cycle) 
 
The tolerability will be reviewed based on dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of Cycle 1 (4 weeks) 
according to the following procedures and criteria. 
First, 3 subjects will be enrolled. 
(1)DLT occurs in 0 or 1 of 3 subjects. 
Add 3 more subjects and assess in a total of 6 subjects.  
1)DLT occurs in 0 or 1 of 6 subjects. 
This dose level is judged to be tolerable. 
2)DLT occurs in 2 or more of 6 subjects. 
The tolerability with this dose level will be discussed by the sponsor, sponsor’s responsible 
medical officer, and investigator.  
(2)DLT occurs in 2 or more of 3 subjects. 
The tolerability with this dose level and appropriateness of additional enrollment will be 
discussed by the sponsor, sponsor’s responsible medical officer, and investigators.  
 
In this dose level, at least 3 subjects treated with lenvatinib 12 mg (BW ≥60 kg) and nivolumab 
need to be included in the 6 subjects for DLT evaluation.  If this dose level is not tolerable, upon 
discussions among the sponsor, sponsor’s responsible medical officer, and investigator, the lower 
dose level of cohort will be considered or the study will be discontinued, and the protocol will be 
amended as necessary. An efficacy and safety evaluation advisor may be consulted for the 
consideration as needed. 
 
A DLT is defined as any of the events noted in the table below considered to be at least possibly 
related to lenvatinib and/or nivolumab occurring during Cycle 1. 
Hematologic 
Toxicity 
• 
Febrile neutropenia 
• 
Grade 4 neutropenia lasting >7 days 
• 
Grade 4 thrombocytopenia 
• 
Grade 3 thrombocytopenia lasting > 7 days or associated with 
bleeding 
•

Nonhematologic 
Toxicity 
(General) 
• 
Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding laboratory 
abnormalities with no clinical significance) 
• 
Grade 3 gastrointestinal perforation, thromboembolic event, uveitis, 
pneumonitis, bronchospasm, hypersensitivity reaction, infusion 
reaction, or wound dehiscence requiring treatment

treatment period or requires systemic treatment 
• 
Eight or more days of dose interruption of lenvatinib as a result of 
lenvatinib or nivolumab treatment-related toxicity during Cycle 1* 
 
* For reasons other than toxicity, this will not be considered as a DLT. In this situation, the relevant subject 
will be excluded from assessments of DLT and new subject will be added.  DLT was determined after 
discussions among the sponsor, the investigator, and the sponsor’s responsible medical officer.  An 
efficacy and safety evaluation advisor may be consulted for the consideration as needed.

1. Cycle 1 (Part 1 only)  
a. If DLT occurs:  
Relationship to lenvatinib and/or nivolumab will be evaluated, then lenvatinib and/or infusion of 
nivolumab should be interrupted or discontinued immediately.  Treatment may be resumed at same 
dose level of nivolumab and at 1 lower dose level of lenvatinib if toxicity is resolved to Grade 0–1 
(or tolerable Grade 2 for hematologic toxicities and proteinuria in case of lenvatinib) or baseline, 
when investigator or subinvestigator decides to continue the study.   
b. No DLT 
Relationship to lenvatinib and/or nivolumab will be evaluated, then lenvatinib and/or nivolumab 
will be interrupted.  Dose adjustments for management of intolerable toxicities will be made 
according to the guidelines provided in the table below.  Lenvatinib and nivolumab should be 
resumed at the same dose level, and dose reduction is not allowed.   
2. Cycle 2 and onward (and applies to Cycle 1 and onward of part 2) 
Relationship to lenvatinib and/or nivolumab will be evaluated, then necessity of dose modification 
(either or both drugs) will be determined.  Dose adjustment for management of intolerable 
toxicities will be made according to the guidelines provided in the table below.

Pharmacodynamic/Pharmacogenomic 
Blood sample 
All subjects must provide blood sample for exploratory biomarker analysis.  
 
Tumor sample 
Archival tumor tissue must be provided for exploratory biomarker analysis and development of 
diagnostic product if available (Part 1 and Part 2). If not available, a newly obtained biopsy must be 
available prior to the first dose of study drug for biomarker analysis. Patients without archival tumor 
tissue and with inaccessible tumors for biopsy specimens can be enrolled without a biopsy (Part 2 
only).  
 
Safety 
Safety assessments will consist of monitoring and recording all AEs and serious adverse events 
(SAEs), using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03; regular 
laboratory evaluation for hematology, blood chemistry, and urine values; regular performance of 
physical examinations, periodic measurement of vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs);  
echocardiograms or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scans including left ventricular ejection fraction 
(LVEF); and ECOG-PS. 
Bioanalytical Methods 
Validated methods will be used to measure plasma concentration of lenvatinib and serum 
concentration of nivolumab. In addition, ADA of nivolumab in serum and neutralizing antibody will 
be detected using validated methods. 
Statistical Methods 
Study Endpoints  
The following endpoints will be defined based on mRECIST (and RECIST 1.1; optional) except 
for OS.   
ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects who have BOR of CR or PR. 
DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects who have BOR of CR or PR or SD (duration from 
C1D1 to SD has to be ≥7 weeks). 
CBR is defined as the proportion of subjects who have BOR of CR or PR or durable SD (duration 
of SD ≥23 weeks). 
PFS is defined as the time from the first study dose date to the date of first documentation of 
disease progression or death (whichever occurs first) (Part 2 only).

TTP is defined as the time from the first study dose date to the date of first documentation of 
disease progression (Part 2 only). 
DOR is defined as the time from the first documentation of CR or PR to the date of first 
documentation of disease progression or death (whichever occurs first) (Part 2 only). 
TTR is defined as the time from the date of first study dose to the date of first documentation of 
CR or PR. (Part 2 only). 
OS is defined as the time from the date of first study dose to the date of death from any cause.  
Subjects who are lost to follow-up and the subjects who are alive at the date of data cutoff will be 
censored at the date the subject was last known alive or the cut-off date, whichever comes earlier 
(Part 2 only). 
Analysis Sets 
DLT Analysis Set will include all subjects (Part 1 only) who have completed Cycle 1 without 
major protocol deviation with at least 75% of lenvatinib compliance and at least 2 doses of 
nivolumab and are assessed for DLT, and subjects who have experienced DLT during Cycle 1.  
This will be the analysis set to determine tolerability. 
Safety Analysis Set will include all subjects who received at least 1 dose of lenvatinib or 
nivolumab. 
PK Analysis Set will include all subjects who have received at least 1 dose of lenvatinib and 
nivolumab, and have evaluable concentration data. 
The Efficacy Analysis Set will include all subjects who received at least 1 dose of lenvatinib and 
nivolumab. 
The Pharmacodynamic and PGx Analysis Set is the group of subjects who received at least 1 
dose of lenvatinib and nivolumab and had at least 1 postdose pharmacodynamic or PGx data. 
 
Efficacy Analyses 
Efficacy analyses will be conducted by part based on the Efficacy Analysis Set.  Tumor assessment 
will be analyzed based on the investigator’s assessment. If needed, the analysis based on 
independent review will be conducted.   
Part 1:  BOR will be summarized, and ORR and their corresponding exact 2-sided 95% 
confidence interval (CI) will be calculated.  DCR and CBR will be summarized in a same manner. 
 
Part 2:  In addition to the same analysis as above for Part 1, PFS will be summarized and plotted 
over time by Kaplan-Meier method.  TTP, DOR, TTR, and OS will be summarized similarly.  A 
waterfall plot will be presented for the percent changes from baseline in the sum of the diameters 
of target lesions at post-baseline nadir (ie, maximum tumor shrinkage).  A spider plot will be 
presented for the percent changes from baseline in the sum of the diameters of target lesions. 
 
Pharmacokinetic and/or Pharmacodynamic Analyses 
Pharmacokinetic 
The primary PK parameters of lenvatinib in the combination will be calculated by 
noncompartmental analysis using the PK analysis set (Part 1 only).  If warranted, additional 
analyses may be performed.  PK data for lenvatinib and nivolumab is planned to be analyzed using 
nonlinear mixed effects modeling.  PK data for lenvatinib and nivolumab may also be used to 
explore the exposure-response relationships for antitumor activity/efficacy as well as biomarkers 
and safety, if feasible.  The results of these analyses, if performed, will be reported separately.

Immunogenicity 
All immunogenicity analyses will be performed using the Safety Analysis Set.  The percentage and 
frequency of expression will be calculated for serum anti-nivolumab antibodies.  If anti-nivolumab 
antibody develops, presence of neutralizing antibody will be summarized using the frequency and 
percentage. 
Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacogenomics 
The effect of lenvatinib-nivolumab combination therapy on soluble and/or tissue biomarkers will 
be summarized using descriptive statistics.   
Tolerability/Safety Analyses 
All DLT analyses will be performed on the DLT Analysis Set.  The number and percentage of 
subjects with DLT will be calculated.  DLT will also be calculated by type. Safety analyses other 
than DLTs will be performed on the Safety Analysis Set.  All other safety analyses will be 
performed on the Safety Analysis Set by part.  The number and percentage of subjects with 
treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) and treatment-emergent SAEs will be summarized by system 
organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT).  Safety data will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics (eg, n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum for continuous variables; n 
[%] for categorical variables). 
Sample Size Rationale 
A sample size of approximately 26 subjects will be enrolled in this study, 6 patients for Part 1 and 
20 patients for Part 2.  Six subjects in Part 1 was deemed appropriate to evaluate the tolerability of 
the dose and perform preliminary safety assessment.  Twenty subjects in Part 2 was determined to 
further evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy.  The probability to detect at least 1 
development of intolerable treatment-related AEs with a incidence of 10%, 15% or 20% in 20 
subjects was 87.8%, 96.1%, or 98.8%, respectively.  Therefore, the sample size is determined to be 
approximately 20 subjects.

ETHICS 
5.1 
Institutional Review Boards/Independent Ethics Committees 
The protocol, informed consent form (ICF), and appropriate related documents must be 
reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) constituted and functioning 
in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP).  Any protocol amendment or revision to 
the ICF will be resubmitted to the IRB for review and approval, except for changes involving 
only logistical or administrative aspects of the study (eg, change of telephone numbers).  
Documentation of IRB compliance with GCP regarding constitution and review conduct will 
be provided to the sponsor. 
A signed letter of study approval from the IRB chairman must be sent to the head of the 
medical institution with a copy to the sponsor before study start and the release of any study 
drug to the site by the sponsor or its designee.  If the IRB decides to suspend or terminate the 
study, the head of the medical institution will immediately send the notice of study 
suspension or termination by the IRB to the sponsor. 
Study progress is to be reported to IRBs annually (or as required) by the investigator via the 
head of the medical institution according to GCP.  The investigator or the sponsor will 
submit, depending on local regulations, periodic reports and inform the investigator, the head 
of the medical institution, and the relevant IRB via the head of the medical institution of any 
reportable adverse events (AEs) per GCP guidelines and local IRB standards of practice.  
Upon completion of the study, the investigator will provide the IRB and sponsor via the head 
of the medical institution with a brief report of the outcome of the study. 
5.2 
 Ethical Conduct of the Study 
This study will be conducted in accordance with standard operating procedures of the 
sponsor (or designee), which are designed to ensure adherence to GCP guidelines as required 
by the following: 
• 
Principles of the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 
• 
GCP 
5.3 
Subject Information and Informed Consent 
As part of administering the informed consent document, the investigator or subinvestigator 
must explain to each subject the nature of the study, its purpose, the procedures involved, the 
expected duration, the potential risks and benefits involved, any potential discomfort, 
potential alternative procedure(s) or course(s) of treatment available to the subject, and the 
extent of maintaining confidentiality of the subject’s records.  Each subject must be informed 
that participation in the study is voluntary, that he/she may withdraw from the study at any 
time, and that withdrawal of consent will not affect his/her subsequent medical treatment or

This informed consent should be given by means of a standard written statement, written in 
nontechnical language.  The subject should understand the statement before signing and 
dating it and will be given a copy of the signed document.  If a subject is unable to read, an 
impartial witness should be present during the entire informed consent discussion.  After the 
ICF and any other written information to be provided to subjects are read and explained to 
the subject, and after the subject has orally consented to the subject’s participation in the 
study and, if capable of doing so, has signed and personally dated the ICF, the witness should 
sign and personally date the consent form.  The subject will be asked to sign an ICF before 
any study-specific procedures are performed.  No subject can enter the study before his/her 
informed consent has been obtained. 
An unsigned copy of an IRB-approved ICF must be prepared by the investigator in 
accordance with GCP and all applicable local regulations in collaboration with the sponsor.  
Each subject must sign an approved ICF before study participation.  The form must be signed 
and dated by the investigator or subinvestigator (and clinical research coordinator, if needed).  
The original, signed ICF for each subject will be verified by the sponsor and kept on file 
according to local procedures at the site.   
The subject should be informed in a timely manner if new information becomes available 
that may be relevant to the subject’s willingness to continue participation in the study.  The 
communication of this information should be documented.

INTRODUCTION 
Primary liver cancer is the 6th most common cancer and is the 2nd most common cause of 
cancer-related death worldwide.  Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents more than 90% 
of primary liver cancer.  The majority of HCC occurs in Asia or Africa, however, the 
incidence has been rising in a number of low-rate areas including Europe and the United 
States. 
The prognosis for advanced HCC is very poor.  Although therapies including arterial infusion 
and radiation therapy have been tried, none has proven highly successful.  Sorafenib is the 
current standard of therapy for advanced HCC patients following clinical results from the 2 
pivotal trials in Western and Asian patients.  Regorafenib was approved for the second-line 
treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma who have progressed after 
treatment with cancer chemotherapy. 
E7080/lenvatinib was developed at Eisai Tsukuba Research Laboratories.  Lenvatinib 
selectively inhibits VEGF receptors, KDR (VEGFR2), and is being developed as a novel

anticancer therapy through inhibition of angiogenesis.  A multinational Phase 3 study in 
subjects with HCC demonstrated noninferiority of lenvatinib to sorafenib for overall survival 
(OS).  
ONO-4538/nivolumab is a human anti-human programmed death-1 (PD-1, also known as 
CD279) monoclonal antibody, developed by Ono Pharmaceutical and Medarex (current 
Bristol-Myers Squibb).  Clinical development program of nivolumab is currently underway 
by Ono Pharmaceutical and Bristol-Myers Squibb.  Nivolumab is approved in many 
countries including the United States, European Union, and Japan. Nivolumab monotherapy 
has shown clinical benefit in HCC patients who have previously been treated with sorafenib 
and has been approved for use in the United States and elsewhere.  In addition, an 
international phase 3 study comparing nivolumab and sorafenib in progressed HCC patients 
who have not been treated with systemic chemotherapy (ONO-4538-35 / CA209459), and an 
international phase 3 study comparing the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab with 
sorafenib or lenvatinib in progressed HCC patients who have not been treated 
(ONO-4538-92/CA2099DW) is currently ongoing. 
Unmet medical needs in the treatment of HCC still exist, and nivolumab is effective across a 
broad range of tumor types.  The current study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy 
of a combination of lenvatinib plus nivolumab in subjects with HCC.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
9.1 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
This study will be conducted in 2 parts (Part 1 and Part 2).  Part 1 will assess the tolerability 
of lenvatinib in combination with nivolumab in subjects with HCC for which no other 
appropriate therapy is available.  Part 2 is to further characterize the safety and to assess 
preliminary efficacy of the combination therapy in subjects with HCC with no prior systemic 
therapy.  
9.1.1 
Part 1 
In Part 1, the tolerability review of Cycle 1 (4 weeks) will be conducted by dose limiting 
toxicities (DLTs).  Study treatment and starting dose are as follows: 
Lenvatinib: 12 mg (Body weight [BW] ≥60 kg) or 8 mg (BW <60 kg) once daily orally 
Nivolumab: 240 mg (every 2 weeks [Q2W], intravenous [IV]) (Days 1 and 15 of each cycle) 
The tolerability will be reviewed based on dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of Cycle 1 (4 weeks) 
according to the following procedures and criteria. 
First, 3 subjects will be enrolled. 
7. DLT occurs in 0 or 1 of 3 subjects. 
Add 3 more subjects and assess in a total of 6 subjects.  
1. DLT occurs in 0 or 1 of 6 subjects. 
This dose level is judged to be tolerable. 
2. DLT occurs in 2 or more of 6 subjects. 
The tolerability with this dose level will be discussed by the sponsor, sponsor’s 
responsible medical officer, and investigator.  
8. DLT occurs in 2 or more of 3 subjects. 
The tolerability with this dose level and appropriateness of additional enrollment will 
be discussed by the sponsor, sponsor’s responsible medical officer, and investigator.  
In this dose level, at least 3 subjects treated with lenvatinib 12 mg (BW ≥60 kg) and 
nivolumab need to be included in the 6 subjects for DLT evaluation. If this dose level is not 
tolerable, upon discussions between the sponsor, sponsor’s responsible medical officer, and 
CCI

investigator, the lower dose level of cohort will be considered or the study will be 
discontinued, and the protocol will be amended as necessary. An efficacy and safety 
evaluation advisor may be consulted for the consideration as needed. 
 
A DLT is defined as any of the events noted in the table below considered to be at least possibly related 
to lenvatinib and/or nivolumab occurring during Cycle 1.

a:  Screening assessment should be performed within 14 days of first dose. (Informed consent can be obtained 
within 28 days of first dose.)  
9.1.3.1 
Pretreatment Phase 
The Pretreatment Phase will involve obtaining informed consent, a screening assessment, and 
a baseline assessment.  Screening will occur within 14 days before starting study drug 
administration after obtaining written informed consent.  Informed consent will be obtained 
after the study has been fully explained to each subject and before the conduct of any 
screening procedures or assessments (informed consent can be obtained within 28 days of 
first dose).  After screening assessments, the sponsor will be informed of eligibility of the 
patient by the investigator or subinvestigator.  The baseline assessment will be conducted 
within 4 days before starting study drug administration in order to confirm that the patient 
meet the eligibility requirement before moving to the Treatment Phase.

9.1.3.2 
Treatment Phase 
In the Treatment Phase, subjects will receive lenvatinib in combination with nivolumab.  The 
Treatment Phase will begin with the first dose of study drug administration on Cycle 1 Day 
1.  Each cycle is 4 weeks long and subjects will continue treatment until they meet any of the 
criteria in “Discontinuation Criteria by Subject (see Section 9.3.3.1)”.   
In Part 1, subjects will be hospitalized during the Cycle 1, however, outpatient is allowed 
after Cycle 1 Day 15, when the investigator or subinvestigator judges that the subject’s safety 
is ensured.   
9.1.3.3 
Follow-up Phase 
The Follow-up Phase will consist of the examination at study discontinuation and the last 
observation visit which occurs 30 days after final administration of study drug.  The subject 
who discontinues study will have a discontinuation visit and last observation which occurs 30 
days after final administration of study drug.  If a new anticancer agent needs to be 
immediately started due to deterioration in the subject’s condition, the final observation visit 
can be conducted before 30 days after the last dose of the study drug has passed but prior to 
starting a new anticancer agent.  If the last observation visit occurs within 7 days after study 
drug discontinuation, discontinuation data can be used as the last observation data.   
In Part 2, all subjects will be followed for survival until death every 12 weeks (±2 week) 
from the date of discontinuation, except where a subject withdraws consent or the sponsor 
chooses to halt survival follow-up.  The survival follow-up will be continued until 
discontinuation of the last subject or for up to 2 years after Cycle 1 Day 1 of the last subject 
enrolled in Part 2, whichever occurs later.  
9.2 
Discussion of Study Design, Including Choice of Control Groups 
This is the study to evaluate the tolerability and safety and to explore the efficacy of a 
combination of lenvatinib plus nivolumab in subjects with HCC.  In view of seriousness in 
targeted subjects and ethical conduct of the study, placebo group will not be employed and 
open design will be used.   This study was designed according to “The Guidelines for 
Clinical Evaluation of Anti-Cancer Drugs in Japan (Notification No. 1101001 issued on 
November 1, 2005).” 
9.3 
Selection of Study Population 
Approximately 26 subjects (6 in Part 1, 20 in Part 2) will be enrolled at sites in Japan (1 site 
for Part 1, TBD for Part 2).  Subjects who do not meet all of the inclusion criteria or who 
meet any of the exclusion criteria will not be eligible to receive study drug.

4-mg capsules. 
• 
BW <60 kg — 8 mg QD.  Study subjects will be orally administered lenvatinib as two 4-
mg capsules. 
 
9.4.1.2 
Nivolumab 
Nivolumab injection for intravenous infusion contains 100 mg/10 mL of nivolumab in each 
vial.  Nivolumab will be administered at a dose of 240 mg as an IV infusion over 30 minutes, 
Q2W (Day 1 and Day 15 of each cycle).  Please refer to the current version of the 
Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and instructions for handling of investigational products for 
complete storage, preparation and administration information for nivolumab. 
9.4.1.3 
Criteria for Interruption of Treatment, Dose Reduction and Discontinuation of 
Treatment 
9.4.1.3.1 CYCLE 1 (PART 1 ONLY) 
1. If DLT occurs:  
Relationship of the DLT to lenvatinib and/or nivolumab will be evaluated, then lenvatinib 
and/or infusion of nivolumab should be interrupted or discontinued immediately.  Treatment 
may be resumed at the same dose level of nivolumab and at 1 lower dose level of lenvatinib 
if toxicity is resolved to Grade 0–1 (or tolerable Grade 2 for hematologic toxicities and 
proteinuria in case of lenvatinib) or baseline, when investigator or subinvestigator decides to 
continue the study.  
2. No DLT occurs: 
Relationship of the DLT to lenvatinib and/or nivolumab will be evaluated, then lenvatinib

9.4.1.4 
Management of Hypertension 
Guidelines for assessment and management of hypertension are summarized as follows. 
CTCAE v4.03 grading for hypertension will be based on BP measurements only (and not on the 
number of antihypertensive medications). 
1. When blood pressure (BP) is elevated (systolic BP ≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥90 
mmHg), BP measurement should be repeated at least 5 min apart.  In this case, BP 
assessment is defined as the mean value of two measurements at least 5 minutes apart. 
2. When systolic BP ≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg is observed in the 1st BP 
assessment, the 2nd BP assessment should be repeated at least 30 min apart.  The 2nd BP 
assessment is defined as the mean value of two measurements at least 5 minutes apart. 
For previously normotensive subjects, monotherapy with one of the classes of 
antihypertensives should be started when systolic BP ≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg 
is firstly observed on the 2nd BP assessment.  For those subjects already on 
antihypertensive medication, the dose of the current agent may be increased, if 
appropriate, or one or more agents of a different class of antihypertensives should be 
added.  
3. If systolic BP ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg continues despite optimal 
management of hypertension, lenvatinib should be interrupted and resumed according to 
Table 3 at a dose of one-dose level reduction only when systolic BP ≤150 mmHg and 
diastolic BP ≤95 mmHg and the subject has been on a stable dose of antihypertensive 
medication for at least 48 hours.   
4. If systolic BP ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg recurs despite the optimal 
management of hypertension, one-dose level reduction should be attempted. 
5. Discontinue lenvatinib administration when Grade 4 hypertension (life-threatening) is 
present.

9.4.1.5 
Management of Proteinuria 
Guidelines for assessment and management of proteinuria are summarized as follows. 
• 
Initial episode of proteinuria: if proteinuria ≥2+ is detected on urinalysis, lenvatinib and 
nivolumab will be continued and a 24-hour urine collection for total protein or a spot 
urine protein/creatinine ratio will be obtained as soon as possible to verify the grade of 
proteinuria.  Grading according to the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.03) will be based on the 24-hour 
urinary protein result or urine protein/creatinine ratio.  Management of lenvatinib 
administration will be based on the grade of proteinuria according to the Dose 
Adjustment provided in Table 2. 
• 
Recurrence or deterioration of proteinuria: if proteinuria 3+ or 4+ on urine dipstick is 
detected, lenvatinib and nivolumab will be continued and a 24-hour urine collection for 
total protein or a spot urine protein/creatinine ratio will be obtained as soon as possible to 
verify the grade of proteinuria.  Management of study drug administration will be based 
on the grade of proteinuria according to the Dose Adjustment provided in Table 2. 
• 
If an event of proteinuria ≥2 occurs, the subject must undergo urine dipstick testing (on 
Day 15 or more frequently if clinically indicated) until results are 1+ or negative for 3 
consecutive months. 
 
9.4.1.6 
Management Algorithms for Immuno-Oncology Agents 
The following groups of AEs will be managed by “Appendix 3 Management Algorithms” 
found in the current nivolumab IB: 
• 
Gastrointestinal 
• 
Renal 
• 
Pulmonary 
• 
Endocrinopathy 
• 
Skin 
• 
Neurological 
 
Please note that management algorithms of this protocol for the hepatic AEs are changed as 
below: 
• 
If AST or ALT elevation does not improve in 3 to 5 days of dose delay or worsen, 
methylprednisolone 0.5 to 2 mg/kg or oral steroids equivalent will start. 
• 
If AST or ALT >8×ULN occurs, methylprednisolone 1 to 2 mg/kg or oral steroids 
equivalent will start immediately. 
• 
Subjects who started steroids should be consulted with the sponsor within 24 hours of 
corticosteroids initiation.  Consultation with gastroenterologist will be recommended. 
• 
If AST or ALT elevation does not improve in 3 to 5 days or worsen, addition of 
mycophenolate mofetil 1 g twice daily should be considered with the sponsor.

Study drug will be stored in accordance with the labeled storage conditions.  The assigned 
pharmacist or designee is responsible for ensuring that the study drug is maintained within an 
established temperature range.  The head of the medical institution is responsible for ensuring 
that records are maintained and the temperature should be monitored continuously by using 
either an in-house data acquisition system, a mechanical recording device, such as a 
calibrated chart recorder, or by manual means, such that minimum and maximum 
thermometric values over a specific time period can be recorded and retrieved as required. 
9.4.3 
Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Groups 
This is an open-label, single-arm study.  All subjects who provide signed informed consent to 
participate in this study and satisfy all eligibility requirements (see Section 9.3) will receive 
lenvatinib in combination with nivolumab.  There is no randomization in this study. 
9.4.4 
Selection of Doses in the Study 
The starting dose of lenvatinib is selected as 12 mg (BW ≥60 kg) or 8 mg (BW <60 kg).  
This dose setting was used in the Phase 3 study of lenvatinib monotherapy versus sorafenib 
in subjects with unresectable HCC (E7080-G000-304 [Study 304]).  This is based on the 
review of the safety and pharmacokinetic data derived from the Phase 1/2 study of lenvatinib 
in subjects with HCC (E7080-J081-202).  Based on the results of Phase 1, the recommended 
dose for Phase 2 was determined to be 12 mg QD for HCC subjects with Child-Pugh class A 
(score 5–6).  Most toxicities were manageable by dose interruption and dose reduction, 
however, majority of subjects with higher lenvatinib exposure or a low body weight required 
a dose reduction.  Subsequently, population pharmacokinetic (PPK) analyses were performed 
to further explore the starting dose.  In order to reduce the number of dose reductions and 
withdrawals due to AEs, a weight-based dosing schedule has been established with the 2 
categories of 12 mg QD (BW ≥60 kg) and 8 mg QD (BW <60 kg).  Study 304 demonstrated 
the noninferiority of lenvatinib to sorafenib in these starting doses setting.

The dose of nivolumab is selected as 240 mg administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion 
every 2 weeks.  In a multiple-dose Phase 1 study of nivolumab conducted overseas (Study 
CA209003), nivolumab IV at doses from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg was administered every 2 weeks in 
subjects with malignant tumors.  A total of 306 subjects with tumor types including mainly 
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), malignant melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) 
were enrolled into this study and ONO-4538 demonstrated high antitumor activity at 3 mg/kg 
or higher.  With regard to safety, Phase 1 studies in and outside Japan showed ONO-4538 IV 
every 2 weeks was well tolerated at doses up to 20 mg/kg in Japan and 10 mg/kg outside 
Japan (ONO-4538-01 and CA209003).   
Based on these efficacy and safety data, ONO-4538 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks is being 
studied in clinical studies in subjects with multiple tumor types.  Recently, the use of flat 
dosing of ONO-4538, without body-weight normalizing, is being investigated to improve 
ease of administration.  Clinical studies in subjects with multiple tumor types are ongoing at 
a flat dose of 240 mg every 2 weeks and 480 mg every 4 weeks.   
To optimize dosing, PPK analyses were performed.  ONO-4538 demonstrated linear 
pharmacokinetics, with a dose-proportional increase in exposure across a dose range of 
0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg and no differences were found across tumor types.  While both the 
ONO-4538 clearance and the volume of distribution increased with body weight, the 
magnitude of the increase was smaller than that of body weight.  A previously developed 
PPK model using data from subjects with NSCLC was further used for 1544 subjects from 
the 7 studies for malignant melanoma, NSCLC, and RCC.  Since the median body weight 
among these population dataset was 77 kg (range:  35, 160 kg), a flat dose of 240 mg every 2 
weeks, the corresponding dose to the 3 mg/kg dose at the body weight of 80 kg, was selected.  
A PPK model-based simulation was conducted to predict the exposure of ONO-4538 
administered 240 mg every 2 weeks.  The simulation result was evaluated by comparing 
simulated exposures at ONO-4538 3 mg/kg and ONO-4538 240 mg every 2 weeks.  The data 
used for simulation were based on randomly selected 1000 subjects from above cancer 
subjects for each dose setting.  No differences have been found in pharmacokinetics across 
ethnicity and tumor types, suggesting these results based on subjects with malignant 
melanoma, NSCLC, and RCC could be extrapolated to other tumor types.  The time-
averaged steady-state concentration (Cavgss) produced by 240 mg administered every 2 weeks 
was expected to be similar to that produced by 3 mg/kg every 2 week at the representative 
body weight of 80 kg.  
ONO-4538 is safe and well tolerated at doses up to 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks. The relationship 
of exposure and response seems to be flat at doses of 3 mg/kg or more. Based on the above 
pharmacokinetic, safety, and efficacy analysis data, the safety and efficacy profile of 
nivolumab 240 mg every 2 weeks was comparable to 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks. Nivolumab is a 
human monoclonal antibody; possibility of drug-concomitant chemotherapy interactions is 
extremely low.  Based on the above reasons, the flat dose of 240 mg IV every 2 weeks was 
chosen for this study.

9.4.5 
Selection and Timing of Dose for Each Subject 
The selection and timing of the lenvatinib and nivolumab for each subject are provided in 
Section 9.4.1.  Lenvatinib will be administered in a fasting state or after a meal.  The food 
effect study of lenvatinib indicated that lenvatinib exposure is not significantly affected by 
food intake.

Blinding 
The study will not be blinded.

Prior and Concomitant Therapy 
Any medication (including over-the-counter medications) or therapy administered to the 
subject during the study (starting at the date of informed consent and until 30 days after the 
final dose of study drug or until the subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is 
earlier) will be recorded on the CRF.  For all drugs, the name, treatment start dates (or timing 
of starting treatment), treatment end dates, and reason for use will be recorded on the CRF.  
Concomitant drugs such as premedication, diagnostic agents, solutions, or fluid transfusions 
provided for surgery, medical examinations, or administrations will be excepted.  For 
concomitant therapy, the name, treatment start dates (or timing of starting treatment), 
treatment end dates, and reason for use will be recorded on the CRF.  Prior therapies on HCC 
are provided in Section 9.5.1.2.2. 
Treatment of complications or AEs, or therapy to ameliorate symptoms (including G-CSF, 
blood products, blood transfusions, fluid transfusions, antibiotics, steroids, antidiarrheal 
drugs, or tranquilizers) may be given at the discretion of the investigator or subinvestigator 
but these therapies or drugs should be used in caution. 
9.4.7.1 
Drug-Drug Interactions 
Lenvatinib’s weak in vitro inhibitory and induction potential on cytochrome P450 (CYP) 
enzymes suggests a low risk of lenvatinib interference with the PK of other drugs 
metabolized by CYP enzymes.  Nonclinical studies identify CYP3A as an important enzyme 
responsible for human hepatic metabolism of lenvatinib.  However, drug-drug interaction 
clinical studies conducted to test these findings showed that co-administration of lenvatinib 
with CYP3A/P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors or inducers is not of clinical concern.  
Nivolumab is a human monoclonal antibody; possibility of drug-concomitant chemotherapy 
interactions is extremely low.  Also, pharmacokinetic interactions of nivolumab with 
lenvatinib are not expected because nivolumab has low possibility to affect CYP expression 
indirectly via cytokine.    
9.4.7.2 
Prohibited Concomitant Therapies and Drugs 
Subjects should not receive other antitumor therapies while on study. If a subject receives 
additional antitumor therapies, this will be judged to represent evidence of disease 
progression, and continuation of the study medication and further participation in the study 
must be discussed and agreed upon with the sponsor.

Efficacy Assessments 
9.5.1.3.1 TUMOR ASSESSMENTS 
All efficacy endpoints will be based on tumor assessments performed by the investigators 
using mRECIST (Appendix 2).  If necessary, independent review using mRECIST and 
RECIST1.1 will be performed (Part 2 only).  
Tumor assessments will be carried out at Screening and then every 8 weeks (Day 1 [±7 days] 
in odd number cycle) from Day 1 of Cycle 1, or more frequently if disease progression is 
clinically indicated.  Historical standard of care scans that are performed with scanning 
parameters consistent with the requirements for this protocol within 28 days prior to dosing 
are acceptable (scans before informed consent can be acceptable). 
Screening tumor assessments using triphasic liver CT/MRI (optimized for pre-contrast, 
arterial, and portal venous phase), contrast-enhanced CT of the chest, and contrast-enhanced 
CT or MRI of abdomen, pelvis, and other areas of known disease plus suspected disease 
should be performed within 28 days prior to C1D1. CT or MRI will be performed using 
contrast media unless there is an allergy to contrast media.  If there is known allergy to 
contrast media, non-contrast CT or MRI will be used. 
Screening CT of the brain with contrast or MRI of the brain pre- and post-gadolinium should 
be performed within 28 days prior to C1D1. During the Treatment Phase, CT/MRI of the 
brain should be performed if clinically indicated. The same methodology and scan 
acquisition techniques used at Screening should be used throughout the study to ensure 
comparability. 
During the Treatment Phase, tumor assessments of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and other 
areas of known disease at Screening plus newly suspected disease should be performed every 
8 weeks (Day 1 [±7 days] in odd number cycle) or more frequently, if clinically indicated. 
The same methodology (CT or MRI) and scan acquisition techniques including use and 
timing of IV contrast should be used as for the screening assessments.  Tumor assessment at 
the discontinuation visit is only necessary if more than 4 weeks have passed since the

The investigator or subinvestigator will measure α-fetoprotein (AFP) level.  Tumor marker 
will be tested at Screening and every 8 weeks (Day 1 [±7 days] in odd number cycle), or 
more frequently if clinically indicated.  Tumor marker will be measured at the same time 
point as tumor assessments.  If the data within 28 days prior to dosing are available (data 
before informed consent can be used). 
9.5.1.3.3 SURVIVAL FOLLOW-UP 
Subjects will be followed for survival until death every 12 weeks (±2 weeks) from the date of 
last observation, except where a subject withdraws consent or the sponsor chooses to halt 
survival follow-up.  The survival follow-up will be continued until discontinuation of the last 
subject or for up to 2 years after Cycle 1 Day 1 of the last subject enrolled in Part 2, 
whichever occurs later.

9.5.1.4.2 PHARMACODYNAMIC, PHARMACOGENOMIC, AND OTHER BIOMARKER ASSESSMENTS 
Blood samples, archived tumor tissue samples, and fresh tumor tissue by biopsy will be 
collected for pharmacodynamic and pharmacogenomic assessment.  PD-1 and other relevant 
biomarkers identified by the new perception or progress of science will be assessed, if 
needed.  Biomarker discovery will be performed to identify pharmacological effect and to 
predict subject response to lenvatinib and nivolumab as well as for potential use in diagnostic 
development.

9.5.1.4.2.1 Blood Biomarker 
Blood samples for the development of exploratory biomarkers will be collected from all 
consented subjects at designated time points as specified in the Schedule of 
Procedures/Assessments (Table 9) (blood samples for nivolumab will be collected in Part 2 
only).  Instructions for the processing, storage, and shipping of samples will be provided 
separately in the Laboratory Manual. 
9.5.1.4.2.2 Tissue Biomarker 
Archival tumor tissue must be provided for biomarker analysis as well as for potential use in 
diagnostic development if available (Part 1 and Part 2).  
In Part 2, if archival tumor tissue is not available, a newly obtained tumor tissue by fresh 
biopsy must be available prior to the first dose of study drug for biomarker analysis (fresh 
biopsy is not mandatory for the subject with previous tumor tissue or with inaccessible 
tumors of safety concern). Instructions for the processing, storage, and shipping of samples 
will be provided separately in the Laboratory Manual. 
Security of the samples, use of the samples, retention of the samples, and subject privacy are 
provided below. 
Security of the Samples, Use of the Samples, and Retention of the Samples  
Sample processing, for example DNA extraction, genotyping, sequencing, or other analysis 
will be performed by a laboratory under the direction of the sponsor.  Processing, analysis, 
and storage will be performed at a secure laboratory facility to protect the validity of the data 
and maintain subject privacy.  
Samples will only be used for the purposes described in this protocol.  Laboratories 
contracted to perform the analysis on behalf of the sponsor will not retain rights to the 
samples beyond those necessary to perform the specified analysis and will not transfer or sell 
those samples.  The sponsor will not sell the samples to a third party. 
Samples will be stored for up to 15 years after the completion of the study. At the end of the 
storage period, samples will be destroyed. Samples may be stored longer if a Heath Authority 
(or medicinal product approval agency) has active questions about the study. In this special 
circumstance, samples will be stored until the questions have been adequately addressed.   
Right to Withdraw 
If, during the time the samples are stored, a participant would like to withdraw his/her 
consent for participation in this research, the sponsor will destroy the samples.  Information 
from any assays that have already been completed at the time of withdrawal of consent will 
continue to be used as the results of the research project.

Subject Privacy and Disclosure  of Data 
Samples will be single coded (Subject ID number).  No subject-identifying information (eg, 
initials, date of birth, government identifying number) will be associated with the sample. 
The sponsor will take steps to ensure that data are protected accordingly and confidentiality 
is maintained as far as possible.  The sponsor and its representatives and agents may share 
coded data with persons and organizations involved in the conduct or oversight of this 
research.  These include: 
• Medical institutions 
• Clinical research organizations retained by the sponsor 
• Independent ethics committees or institutional review boards that have 
responsibility for this research study  
• National regulatory authorities or equivalent government agencies 
At the end of the analysis, results may be presented in the clinical study report or a separate 
report which can include part or all of the coded data, in listing or summary format.  Other 
publication (eg, in peer-reviewed scientific journals) or public presentation of the study 
results will only include summaries of the population in the study, and no identified 
individual results will be disclosed.

9.5.1.5 
Safety Assessments 
Safety assessments include monitoring and recording all AEs, including all grading of 
CTCAE v4.03, and SAEs; regular laboratory evaluation for hematology, blood chemistry, 
and urine values; physical examinations; periodic measurement of vital signs; ECGs; and 
echocardiograms/MUGA scans to assess LVEF.  
9.5.1.5.1 ADVERSE EVENTS 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject.  An AE does not necessarily have a 
causal relationship with the medicinal product.  For this study, the study drugs are lenvatinib 
and nivolumab.  
The criteria for identifying AEs in this study are: 
• 
Any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease found after the time of informed consent, whether or not considered 
related to the investigational product (Note:  Every sign or symptom should not be listed 
as a separate AE if the applicable disease [diagnosis] is being reported as an AE) 
• 
Any new disease or exacerbation of an existing disease.  However, worsening of the 
primary disease should be captured under efficacy assessments as disease progression 
rather than as an AE. 
• 
Any deterioration in nonprotocol-required measurements of a laboratory value or other 
clinical test (eg, ECG or x-ray) that results in symptoms, a change in treatment, or 
discontinuation of study drug 
• 
Recurrence of an intermittent medical condition (eg, headache) not present pretreatment 
(Baseline) 
• 
An abnormal laboratory test result should be considered an AE if the identified laboratory 
abnormality leads to any type of intervention, withdrawal of study drug, or withholding 
of study drug, whether prescribed in the protocol or not 
All AEs, regardless of relationship to study drug or procedure, should be collected beginning 
from the time the subject signs the study ICF through the 30 days after the last dose or until 
the subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier.  SAEs will also be collected 
for 30 days after the last dose or until the subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever 
is earlier.   
Any laboratory abnormality considered to constitute an AE should be reported on the CRF.  
Abnormal laboratory values should not be listed as separate AEs if they are considered to be 
part of the clinical syndrome that is being reported as an AE.  It is the responsibility of the 
investigator to review all laboratory findings in all subjects and determine if they constitute 
an AE.  Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether an isolated 
laboratory abnormality should be classified as an AE.   
Abnormal ECG (QTcF) results, if not otherwise considered part of a clinical symptom that is 
being reported as an AE, should be considered an AE if the QTcF interval is more than 

Eisai/Ono Pharmaceutical 
 
E7080-J081-117 
 
 
Eisai 05 Feb 2021 version 8

Page 50 of 84 
 
450 ms and there is an increase of more than 60 ms from baseline.  Any ECG abnormality 
that the investigator considers as an AE should be reported as such. 
Progression of malignant disease (PD) should not be recorded as an adverse event in studies 
where it is included as an endpoint for underlying disease. If the progression leads to an 
untoward medical occurrence (increased pain, pleural effusion, etc.), then this medical 
occurrence should be the adverse event. 
All AEs must be followed until 30 days after the last dose or until resolution, whichever 
comes first.  All SAEs must be followed to resolution or, if resolution is unlikely, to 
stabilization.   
Every effort must be made by the investigator or subinvestigator to categorize each AE 
according to its severity and its relationship to the study treatment. 
Assessing Severity of Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be graded on a 5-point scale according to CTCAE v 4.03.  Investigators 
will report CTCAE grades for all AEs (for both increasing and decreasing severity).  
Assessing Relationship to Study Treatment 
Items to be considered when assessing the relationship of an AE to the study treatment are: 
• 
Temporal relationship of the onset of the event to the initiation of the study treatment 
• 
The course of the event, especially the effect of discontinuation of study treatment or 
reintroduction of study treatment, as applicable 
• 
Whether the event is known to be associated with the study treatment or with other 
similar treatments 
• 
The presence of risk factors in the study subject known to increase the occurrence of the 
event 
• 
The presence of nonstudy, treatment-related factors that are known to be associated with 
the occurrence of the event 
Classification of Causality 
The relationship of each AE to the study drug will be recorded on the CRF in response to the 
following question: 
Is there a reasonable possibility that the study drug caused the AE? 
Yes (related) 
A causal relationship between the study drug and the AE is a reasonable 
possibility. 
No (not related) A causal relationship between the study drug and the AE is not a 
reasonable possibility.

9.5.1.5.2 SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS AND EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIAL SITUATIONS 
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
• 
Results in death 
• 
Is life-threatening (ie, the subject was at immediate risk of death from the adverse event 
as it occurred; this does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form 
or was allowed to continue, might have caused death) 
• 
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a subject who was exposed to the 
study drug) 
Other important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death or hospitalization but, when based on appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize 
the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes in the definition of 
SAE listed above should also be considered SAEs.  Medical and scientific judgment should 
be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is appropriate in such situations.  
In addition to the above, events associated with special situations include pregnancy or 
exposure to study drug through breastfeeding; AEs associated with study drug overdose, 
misuse, abuse, or medication error (see Section 9.5.4.2 and 9.5.4.3).  These events associated 
with special situations are to be captured using the SAE procedures but are to be considered 
as SAEs only if they meet one of the above criteria.  All AEs associated with special 
situations are to be reported on the CRF whether or not they meet the criteria for SAEs.   
All SAEs must be followed to resolution or, if resolution is unlikely, to stabilization. 
The following hospitalizations are not considered to be SAEs because there is no “adverse 
event” associated with the hospitalization: 
• 
Hospitalizations for respite care  
• 
Planned hospitalizations required by the protocol 
• 
Hospitalization planned before informed consent (where the condition requiring the 
hospitalization has not changed after study drug administration) 
• 
Hospitalization for administration of study drug or insertion of access for administration 
of study drug 
• 
Hospitalization for routine maintenance of a device (eg, battery replacement) that was in 
place before study entry 
 
9.5.1.5.3 LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS 
Clinical laboratory tests to be performed, including hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis, 
are summarized in Table 8.  The Schedule of Procedures/Assessments (Table 9) shows the 
visits and time points at which blood for clinical laboratory tests and urine for urinalysis will 
be collected in the study.  Clinical laboratory tests will be performed at each site.

c: Amylase and lipase will be measured at Screening, C2D1 and every cycle thereafter. 
d: Subjects with hepatitis B only 
e: If necessary, appropriate laboratory tests such as adrenal cortical function test (ACTH, cortisol) to be added. 
A laboratory abnormality may meet the criteria to qualify as an AE as described in this 
protocol (see Section 9.5.1.5.1).  In these instances, the AE corresponding to the laboratory 
abnormality will be recorded on the CRF.  If AEs were assessed during unscheduled visits, 
all the data corresponding to the laboratory abnormality will also be recorded on the CRF. 
9.5.1.5.4 VITAL SIGNS AND WEIGHT MEASUREMENTS 
Vital sign measurements (ie, systolic and diastolic BP [mmHg], pulse [beats per minute], 
body temperature [in centigrade]), and weight (kg) and percutaneous oxygen saturation 
(SPO2) will be obtained at the visits designated in the Schedule of Procedures/Assessments 
(Table 9) by a validated method.  BP and pulse will be measured sitting after the subject has 
been resting.  All BP measurements should be performed on the same arm, preferably by the 
same person.   
Height will be measured at the Screening Visit only.

9.5.1.5.5 PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS 
Physical examinations will be performed as designated in the Schedule of 
Procedures/Assessments (Table 9).  Documentation of the physical examination will be 
included in the source documentation at the site.  Only changes from screening physical 
examination findings that meet the definition of an AE will be recorded on the CRF. 
9.5.1.5.6 ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS 
Electrocardiograms will be obtained as designated in the Schedule of 
Procedures/Assessments (Table 9).  Standardized, 12-lead ECG recordings that permit all 12 
leads to be displayed on a single page with an accompanying lead II rhythm strip below the 
customary 3×4 lead format may also be used.  In addition to a rhythm strip, a minimum of 3 
full complexes should be recorded from each lead simultaneously.  Subjects must be in the 
recumbent position for a period of 5 minutes prior to the ECG. 
An ECG abnormality may meet the criteria of an AE as described in this protocol (see 
Section 9.5.1.5.1).  In these instances, the AE corresponding to the ECG abnormality will be 
recorded on the CRF. 
9.5.1.5.7 ECHOCARDIOGRAM OR MULTIPLE GATED ACQUISITION SCAN 
An echocardiogram or a MUGA scan (using technetium-99m-pertechnetate) to assess LVEF 
will be performed at Screening and at discontinuation visit.  Echocardiograms or MUGA 
scans should be performed locally in accordance with the institution’s standard practice.  
Either an echocardiogram or a MUGA scan which is used for an individual subject at 
baseline should be repeated for all subsequent LVEF assessments for that subject.  LVEFs as 
assessed by the institution will be entered onto the CRF.  
9.5.1.5.8 ECOG PS 
An ECOG performance status should be done at each visit as designated in the Schedule of 
Procedures/Assessments (Table 9).

9.5.4.1 
Reporting of Serious Adverse Events 
All SAEs, regardless of their relationship to study treatment, must be reported on a 
completed SAE form as soon as possible but no later than 1 business day from the date the 
investigator becomes aware of the event. 
SAEs, regardless of causality assessment, must be collected through 30 days after last dose or 
until the subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier.  All SAEs must be 
followed to resolution or, if resolution is unlikely, to stabilization.  Any SAE judged by the 
investigator to be related to the study drug or any protocol-required procedure should be 
reported to the sponsor regardless of the length of time that has passed since study 
completion. 
The detailed contact information for reporting of SAEs is provided in the Attachment. 
It is very important that the SAE report form be filled out as completely as possible at the 
time of the initial report.  This includes the investigator or subinvestigator’s assessment of 
causality. 
Any follow-up information received on SAEs should be forwarded from the investigator to 
the sponsor within 1 business day of its receipt.  If the follow-up information changes the 
investigator’s assessment of causality, this should also be noted on the follow-up SAE form. 
Preliminary SAE reports should be followed as soon as possible by detailed descriptions 
including copies of hospital case reports, autopsy reports, and other documents if requested 
by the sponsor. 
9.5.4.2 
Reporting of Pregnancy and Exposure to Study Drug Through Breastfeeding 
Any pregnancy in which the estimated date of conception is either before the last visit or 
within 5 months of last study treatment or 30 days following the last study treatment if the 
subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier, and any partner’s pregnancy of 
male subjects in which the estimated date of conception is either before the last visit or 
within 30 days of last study treatment or 30 days following the last study treatment if the

subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier must be reported.  Also, any 
exposure to study drug through breastfeeding during study treatment or within 5 months of 
last study treatment or 30 days following the last study treatment if the subject initiates new 
anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier, must be reported. 
If an adverse outcome of a pregnancy is suspected to be related to study drug exposure, this 
should be reported regardless of the length of time that has passed since the exposure to study 
treatment. 
A congenital anomaly, death during perinatal period, an induced abortion, or a spontaneous 
abortion are considered to be an SAE and should be reported in the same time frame and in 
the same format as all other SAEs (see Reporting of Serious Adverse Events 
[Section 9.5.4.1]). 
Pregnancies or exposure to study drug through breastfeeding must be reported by fax or 
email as soon as possible but no later than 1 business day from the date the investigator 
becomes aware of the pregnancy or breastfeeding.  The contact information for the reporting 
of pregnancies and exposure to study drug through breastfeeding is provided in the 
Attachment.  The Pregnancy Report Form must be used for reporting.  All pregnancies must 
be followed to outcome.  The outcome of the pregnancy must be reported as soon as possible 
but no later than 1 business day from the date the investigator becomes aware of the 
outcome. 
A subject who becomes pregnant must be withdrawn from the study.  
9.5.4.3 
Reporting of Events Associated with Special Situations 
9.5.4.3.1 REPORTING OF ADVERSE EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH STUDY DRUG OVERDOSE, 
MISUSE, ABUSE, OR MEDICATION ERROR 
Adverse events associated with study drug overdose, misuse, abuse, and medication error 
refer to AEs associated with uses of the study drug outside of that specified by the protocol.  
Overdose, misuse, abuse, and medication error are defined as follows:  
Overdose 
Accidental or intentional use of the study drug in an amount higher 
than the protocol-defined dose 
Misuse 
Intentional and inappropriate use of study drug not in accordance with 
the protocol  
Abuse 
Sporadic or persistent intentional excessive use of study drug 
accompanied by harmful physical or psychological effects 
Medication error 
Any unintentional event that causes or leads to inappropriate study 
drug use or subject harm while the study drug is in the control of site 
personnel or the subject.

All AEs associated with overdose, misuse, abuse, or medication error should be captured on 
the CRF and also reported using the procedures detailed in Reporting of Serious Adverse 
Events (Section 9.5.4.1) even if the AEs do not meet serious criteria.  Abuse is always to be 
captured as an AE.  If the AE associated with an overdose, misuse, abuse, or medication error 
does not meet serious criteria, it must still be reported using the SAE form and in an 
expedited manner but should be noted as nonserious on the SAE form and the CRF. 
9.5.4.4 
Expedited Reporting 
The sponsor must inform investigator, the head of the medical institution, and regulatory 
authorities of reportable events, in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, on an 
expedited basis (ie, within specific time frames).  For this reason, it is imperative that the 
investigator provide complete SAE information in the manner described above. 
9.5.4.5 
Breaking the Blind 
Not applicable. 
9.5.4.6 
Regulatory Reporting of Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be reported by the sponsor to regulatory authorities in compliance with 
local and regional law and established guidance.  The format of these reports will be dictated 
by the local and regional requirements. 
9.5.5 
Completion/Discontinuation of Subjects 
A subject may elect to discontinue the study at any time for any reason.  All subjects who 
discontinue the study are to complete the study’s early discontinuation procedures indicated 
in the Schedule of Procedures/Assessments (Table 9). 
The investigator or subinvestigator will promptly explain to the subject involved that the 
study will be discontinued for that subject and provide appropriate medical treatment and 
other necessary measures for the subject.  A subject who has ceased to return for visits will 
be followed up by mail, phone, or other means to gather information such as the reason for 
failure to return, the status of treatment compliance, the presence or absence of AEs, and 
clinical courses of signs and symptoms.   
Subjects who discontinue early from the study will be recorded on the CRF with the reason 
of discontinuation.  Study disposition information will be collected on the Subject 
Disposition CRF. 
9.5.6 
Abuse or Diversion of Study Drug

9.5.7 
 Confirmation of Medical Care by Another Physician 
The investigator, subinvestigator, or clinical research coordinator will instruct subjects to 
inform site personnel when they are planning to receive medical care by another physician.  
At each visit, the investigator, subinvestigator, or clinical research coordinator will ask the 
subject whether he/she has received medical care by another physician since the last visit or 
is planning to do so in the future.  When the subject is going to receive medical care by 
another physician, the investigator or subinvestigator, with the consent of the subject, will 
inform the other physician that the subject is participating in the clinical study. 
9.6 
Data Quality Assurance 
This study will be organized, performed, and reported in compliance with the protocol, 
SOPs, working practice documents, and applicable regulations and guidelines.  Site audits 
will be made periodically by the sponsor’s qualified compliance auditing team, which is an 
independent function from the study team responsible for conduct of the study.   
9.6.1 
Data Collection 
Data required by the protocol will be collected on the CRFs.  As defined by GCP, the CRF is 
a printed, optical, or electronic document designed to record all of the protocol-required 
information to be reported to the sponsor on each study subject. 
Data collection on the CRF must follow the instructions described in the CRF Completion 
Guidelines.  The investigator has ultimate responsibility for the collection and reporting of all 
clinical data entered on the CRF.  The investigator must sign the completed CRF to attest to 
its accuracy, authenticity, and completeness. 
Completed, original CRFs are the sole property of the sponsor and should not be made 
available in any form to third parties without written permission from the sponsor, except for 
authorized representatives of the sponsor or appropriate regulatory authorities. 
9.6.2 
Clinical Data Management 
All software applications used in the collection of data will be properly validated following 
standard computer system validation that is compliant with all regulatory requirements.  All 
data, both CRF and external data (eg, laboratory data), will be entered into a clinical system. 
9.7 
Statistical Methods 
All statistical analyses will be performed after the data cutoff for primary analysis or the 
study is completed, and the database is locked.  Statistical analyses will be performed using 
SAS software or other validated statistical software as required.  Details of the statistical 
analyses will be included in a separate statistical analysis plan (SAP).

Prior and Concomitant Therapy 
All investigator terms for medications recorded in the CRF will be coded to an 11-digit code 
using the World Health Organization Drug Dictionary (WHO DD).  The number 
(percentage) of subjects who took prior and concomitant medications will be summarized on 
the Safety Analysis Set by part.  Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) class (eg, 
anatomical class, therapeutic class, pharmacologic class, chemical class, if feasible), and 
WHO DD preferred term.  Prior medications will be defined as medications that stopped 
before the first dose of study drug.  Concomitant medications will be defined as medications 
that (1) started before the first dose of study drug and were continuing at the time of the first 
dose of study drug, or (2) or, started at the time of or after the first dose of study drug up to 
30 days after the subject’s last dose.  All medications will be presented in subject data 
listings. 
9.7.1.6 
Efficacy Analyses 
Efficacy analyses will be conducted by part based on the Efficacy Analysis Set.  Tumor 
assessment will be analyzed based on the investigator’s assessment. If needed, the analysis 
based on independent review will be conducted.   
Part 1 
BOR will be summarized based on mRECIST, and ORR and their corresponding exact 2-
sided 95% confidence interval (CI) will be calculated.  DCR and CBR will be summarized in 
a same manner. 
Part 2 
In addition to the same analysis as above for Part 1, PFS will be summarized and plotted over 
time by Kaplan-Meier method.  The median, first and third quartiles (Q1 and Q3) of PFS rate 
and the cumulative probability of PFS rate at selected time points with 2-sided 95% CI will 
be calculated, but not limited to.  PFS censoring rules will be defined in the SAP and 
followed FDA guidance (2007).  TTP, DOR, TTR, and OS will be summarized similarly.  A 
waterfall plot will be presented for the percent changes from baseline in the sum of the

Analyses 
9.7.1.7.1 PHARMACOKINETIC ANALYSES 
The primary PK parameters of lenvatinib in the combination will be calculated by 
noncompartmental analysis using the PK analysis set (Part 1 only).  If warranted, additional 
analyses may be performed.  PK data for lenvatinib and nivolumab is planned to be analyzed 
using nonlinear mixed effects modeling.  PK data for lenvatinib and nivolumab may also be 
used to explore the exposure-response relationships for antitumor activity/efficacy as well as 
biomarkers and safety, if feasible.  The results of these analyses, if performed, will be 
reported separately. 
9.7.1.7.2 PHARMACODYNAMIC, PHARMACOGENOMIC, AND OTHER BIOMARKER ANALYSES 
The effect of lenvatinib-nivolumab combination therapy on soluble and/or tissue biomarkers 
will be summarized using descriptive statistics.   
9.7.1.8 
Safety/Tolerability Analyses 
All DLT analyses will be performed on the DLT Analysis Set.  The number and percentage 
of subjects with DLT will be calculated.  DLT will also be summarized per type of toxicity.  
All other safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Analysis Set by part.  Safety data 
will be summarized using descriptive statistics (eg, n, mean, standard deviation, median, 
minimum, maximum for continuous variables; n [%] for categorical variables).   
9.7.1.8.1 EXTENT OF EXPOSURE 
The number of cycles/days on treatment, sum of subject-time, number of administration, total 
amount of study drug administered, dose intensity, and relative dose intensity (actual 
dose/planned dose) will be summarized for lenvatinib and nivolumab separately. 
9.7.1.8.2 ADVERSE EVENTS 
The AE verbatim descriptions (investigator terms from the CRF) will be classified into 
standardized medical terminology using MedDRA.  Adverse events will be coded to the 
MedDRA lower level term (LLT) closest to the verbatim term.  The linked MedDRA 
preferred term (PT) and primary system organ class (SOC) are also captured in the database. 
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an AE that emerges during 
treatment and until the 30 days after the last dose or until the subject initiates new anticancer 
therapy, whichever is earlier, having been absent at pretreatment (Baseline) or  
• 
Reemerges during treatment, having been present at pretreatment (Baseline) but stopped 
before treatment, or  
• 
Worsens in severity during treatment relative to the pretreatment state, when the AE is 
continuous.

Only those AEs that are treatment-emergent will be included in summary tables.  All AEs, 
treatment-emergent or otherwise, will be presented in subject data listings. 
The incidence of TEAEs will be reported as the number (percentage) of subjects with TEAEs 
by MedDRA SOC and PT.  A subject will be counted only once within an SOC and PT, even 
if the subject experienced more than 1 TEAE within a specific SOC and PT.  The number 
(percentage) of subjects with TEAEs will also be summarized by highest CTCAE grade. 
The number (percentage) of subjects with treatment-related TEAEs will be summarized by 
SOC and PT.  Treatment-related TEAEs include those events considered by the investigator 
to be related to study treatment.  The number (percentage) of subjects with treatment-related 
TEAEs will also be summarized by highest CTCAE grade. 
The number (percentage) of subjects with TEAEs leading to death will be summarized by 
MedDRA SOC and PT.  A subject data listing of all AEs leading to death will be provided. 
The number (percentage) of subjects with treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs) 
will be summarized by MedDRA SOC and PT.  A subject data listing of all SAEs will be 
provided. 
The number (percentage) of subjects with TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study drug, 
study drug dose reduction, and study drug interruption will be summarized by MedDRA 
SOC and PT.  A subject data listing of all AEs leading to discontinuation of study drug, study 
drug dose reduction, and study drug interruption will be provided. 
9.7.1.8.3 LABORATORY VALUES 
Laboratory results will be summarized using Système International (SI) units.  For all 
quantitative parameters listed in Section 9.5.1.5.3, the actual value and the change from 
baseline to each postbaseline visit will be summarized by visit using descriptive statistics.  
Qualitative parameters will be summarized using frequencies (number and percentage of 
subjects), and changes from baseline to each postbaseline visit will be reported using shift 
tables.  Percentages will be based on the number of subjects with both nonmissing baseline 
and relevant postbaseline results. 
Laboratory parameters will be categorized according to CTCAE v4.03 grades by visit and 
maximum postbaseline grades will be summarized.  Shifts from Baseline CTCAE v4.03 
grades to postbaseline grades will be presented.   
Laboratory test results will be assigned a low/normal/high (LNH) classification according to 
whether the value was below (L), within (N), or above (H) the laboratory parameter’s 
reference range. They will be shown in subject data listing. 
CTCAE v4.03 will be used to identify subjects with treatment-emergent markedly abnormal 
laboratory values (TEMAVs), if necessary.

11 PROCEDURES AND INSTRUCTIONS (ADMINISTRATIVE 
PROCEDURES) 
11.1 Changes to the Protocol 
Any change to the protocol requires a written protocol amendment or administrative change 
that must be approved in writing by the sponsor before implementation.  Amendments 
specifically affecting the safety of subjects, the scope of the investigation, or the scientific 
quality of the study require additional approval by the applicable IRBs.  These requirements 
should in no way prevent any immediate action from being taken by the investigator, or by 
the sponsor, in the interest of preserving the safety of all subjects included in the study.  If the 
investigator or subinvestigator determines that an immediate change to or deviation from the 
protocol is necessary for safety reasons to eliminate an immediate hazard to the subjects, the 
sponsor and the IRB for the site must be notified immediately.  The sponsor must notify the 
health or regulatory authority as required per local regulations. 
Protocol amendments that affect only administrative aspects of the study may not require 
submission to the IRB.  In these cases, the sponsor may be required to send a letter to the 
head of the medical institution detailing such changes. 
11.2 Adherence to the Protocol 
The investigator or subinvestigator will conduct the study in strict accordance with the 
protocol. 
11.3 Monitoring Procedures 
The CRA will maintain contact with the investigator and designated staff by telephone, letter, 
or email between study visits.  Monitoring visits to each site will be conducted by the 
assigned CRA as described in the monitoring plan.  The head of the medical institution will 
allow the CRA to inspect the clinical, laboratory, and pharmacy facilities to assure 
compliance with GCP and local regulatory requirements.  The CRFs and subject’s 
corresponding original medical records (source documents) are to be fully available for 
review by the sponsor’s representatives at regular intervals.  These reviews verify adherence 
to study protocol and data accuracy in accordance with GCP.  All records at the site are 
subject to inspection by the local auditing agency and to IRB review. 
In accordance with GCP, source documents include, but are not limited to, the following: 
• 
Clinic, office, or hospital charts 
• 
Copies or transcribed health care provider notes that have been certified for accuracy 
after production 
• 
Recorded data from automated instruments  
• 
Pain, quality of life, or medical history questionnaires completed by subjects

11.4 Recording of Data 
A CRF is required and must be completed for each subject by qualified and authorized 
personnel.  All data on the CRF must reflect the corresponding source document, except 
when a section of the CRF itself is used as the source document.  Any correction to entries 
made on the CRF must be documented in a valid audit trail where the correction is dated, the 
individual making the correction is identified, the reason for the change is stated, and the 
original data are not obscured.  Only data required by the protocol for the purposes of the 
study should be collected. 
The investigator must sign each CRF.  The investigator will report the CRFs to the sponsor 
and retain a copy of the CRFs. 
11.5 Identification of Source Data 
All data to be recorded on the CRF must reflect the corresponding source documents.  For 
the following items, the data recorded directly on the CRF are to be considered source data: 
- 
Study drug administration (reason for treatment discontinuation, reason for dose 
modification. or others) 
- 
Reasons for prior and concomitant therapy (including medications and therapies) 
- 
Discontinuation (reason for discontinuation, or others) 
- 
Sampling date and time for PK analysis 
- 
Sampling date for clinical laboratory tests 
-

11.6 Retention of Records 
The circumstances of completion or termination of the study notwithstanding, the head of the 
medical institution or the designated representative is responsible for retaining all study 
documents, including but not limited to the protocol, copies of CRFs, the Investigator's 
Brochure, and regulatory agency registration documents (eg, ICFs, and IRB correspondence).  
The site should plan to retain study documents, as directed by the sponsor, for at least 2 years 
after the last approval of a marketing application in an ICH region and until there are no 
pending or contemplated marketing applications in an ICH region or at least 3 years have 
elapsed since the formal discontinuation of clinical development of the investigational 
product. 
It is requested that at the completion of the required retention period the medical institution 
contact the sponsor, allowing the sponsor the option of permanently retaining the study 
records. 
11.7 Auditing Procedures and Inspection 
In addition to routine monitoring procedures, the sponsor’s Clinical Quality Assurance 
department conducts audits of clinical research activities in accordance with the sponsor’s 
SOPs to evaluate compliance with the GCP and all applicable local regulations.  Government 
regulatory authority may request an inspection. 
11.8 Handling of Study Drug 
All study drugs will be supplied to the assigned pharmacist (or designee) by the sponsor.  
Drug supplies must be kept in an appropriate secure area (eg, locked cabinet) and stored 
according to the conditions specified on the drug labels.  The assigned pharmacist (or 
designee) must maintain an accurate record of the shipment and dispensing of the study drug 

 
Eisai/Ono Pharmaceutical

in a drug accountability ledger.  An accurate record of the date and amount of study drug 
dispensed to each subject must be available for inspection at any time.  The CRA will visit 
the site and review these documents along with all other study conduct documents at 
appropriate intervals once study drug has been received by the site. 
All drug supplies are to be used only for this study and not for any other purpose.  The 
assigned pharmacist (or designee) must not destroy any drug labels or discard any partly used 
or unused drug supply before approval to do so by the sponsor.  At the conclusion of the 
study and as appropriate during the study, the assigned pharmacist (or designee) will return 
all used study drugs and a copy of the completed drug disposition form to the sponsor, if 
required. 
11.9 Publication of Results 
All manuscripts, abstracts, or other modes of presentation arising from the results of the 
study must be reviewed and approved in writing by the sponsor in advance of submission.  
The review is aimed at protecting the sponsor's proprietary information existing either at the 
date of the commencement of the study or generated during the study. 
The detailed obligations regarding the publication of any data, material results, or other 
information generated or created in relation to the study shall be set out in the agreement 
between each head of the medical institution and the sponsor. 
11.10 Disclosure and Confidentiality 
The contents of this protocol and any amendments and results obtained during the study 
should be kept confidential by the investigator, the investigator’s staff, and the IRB and will

Appendix 2 
Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 
(mRECIST) 
Tumor response assessments in this clinical trial will use modified Response Evaluation 
Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) based on Lencioni and Llovet (2010) and incorporating 
elements of RECIST 1.1 based on Eisenhauer, et al.(2009) 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENTS OF TUMOR BURDEN 
The disease burden at Baseline will be categorized into target and nontarget lesions.  The target 
and nontarget categories are classified into typical hepatic lesions, atypical hepatic lesions, and 
nonhepatic lesions. 
• 
Typical hepatic lesions are lesions that display hypervascularity in the arterial 
phase and “wash-out” in the portal venous phase of contrast-enhanced CT or MRI 
imaging. 
• 
Atypical hepatic lesions are lesions that are not showing the distinctive 
enhancement pattern but are considered to be malignant. 
• 
Nonhepatic lesions are all nodal and non-nodal lesions outside of the liver. 
SELECTION AND MEASUREMENT OF TARGET LESIONS  
A maximum of 2 target lesions per organ and 5 target lesions in total, representative of all 
involved organs, may be selected.  Target lesions are lesions that can be accurately measured 
in at least one dimension and whose minimum lesion size is as follows: 
• 
Typical hepatic target lesions:  The longest diameter of the viable tumor must 
measure ≥ 1 cm or ≥ two times the slice thickness/reconstruction interval (if the 
slice thickness/reconstruction interval is >5 mm). 
• 
Atypical hepatic target lesions:  The longest diameter must measure ≥ 1 cm or ≥ two 
times 
the 
slice 
thickness/reconstruction 
interval 
(if 
the 
slice 
thickness/reconstruction interval is >5 mm).  
• 
Nonhepatic non-nodal target lesions:  The longest diameter must measure ≥ 1 cm 
or ≥ two times the slice thickness/reconstruction interval (if the slice 
thickness/reconstruction interval is >5 mm).  
• 
Nonhepatic nodal target lesions (lymph nodes):  The short axis must measure 
≥ 1.5 cm with exception of porta hepatis lymph nodes that need to be ≥ 2.0 cm in 
the 
short 
axis 
(regardless 
of 
modality/scanner 
type 
and 
slice 
thickness/reconstruction interval).

If typical and atypical liver lesions are present, preference should be given to typical liver 
lesions when selecting targets.  Target lesions are measured at every time point and a single 
Sum of Diameters (SOD) will be determined by adding the longest diameters of all non-nodal 
lesions and short axes (i.e., widest dimensions perpendicular to the long axis) of nodal 
nonhepatic lesions.  For typical hepatic lesions the longest diameters will include only the 
viable tissue, while for all other target lesions all tumor tissue (whether necrotic or not) will be 
included in the SOD.  Note that hypovascular tissue should not be considered as necrotic 
(nonviable) tissue. While hypovascular tissue will still show contrast uptake (although less 
than what would be observed in a hypervascular lesion), necrotic tissue will show complete 
absence of any contrast enhancement. Quantitative determinations of average Hounsfield Units 
(HU) in the tissue of interest both pre-contrast and post-contrast may be used, if needed, to 
support the subjective assessment: necrotic (nonviable) tissue will show no change in HU 
between the phases, while hypovascular tissue will yield an increase in HU (although less than 
what would be observed in a hypervascular lesion) between pre-contrast and post-contrast 
images of the same region.  Please refer to the Image Interpretation Guidance Manual for the 
use of mRECIST for HCC for further details regarding differentiating hypovascular from 
necrotic (nonviable) tissue. 
 
Target lesions are assessed as CR, PR, SD, PD, or NE at every time point based on the SOD. 
SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT OF NONTARGET LESIONS   
Nontarget lesions are all other lesions, including malignant portal vein thrombosis, infiltrative 
type, and diffuse type HCC with ill-defined lesion borders and truly nonmeasurable lesions.  
Nontarget lesions will be assessed qualitatively, and the possible assessments are CR, Non-
CR/Non-PD (NN), and PD.  
If a hepatic nontarget lesion exhibits an enhancement pattern that is consistent with HCC, the 
determination of CR, NN, PD, or NE will be dependent on the enhancing portion of the lesion.  
All other nontarget lesions will be assessed following the conventional RECIST 1.1 criteria. 
If pleural effusions or ascites selected as nontarget lesions at Baseline are stable in size or 
minimally enlarging, they will be assessed as NN.  A cytopathological confirmation of any 
effusion that appears or worsens on treatment is required when the measurable tumor has met 
criteria for response or SD. 
NEW LESIONS 
New lesions are defined as: 
• 
Unequivocally new nonhepatic lesions seen at follow-up, without a corresponding 
lesion on the baseline imaging. 
• 
 New typical hepatic lesions displaying intratumoral arterial enhancement 
(hypervascularization in the arterial phase and washout in the portal venous phase 
on contrast-enhanced CT or MRI) that measure ≥ 1 cm in the longest diameter.

• 
New atypical hepatic lesions ≥ 1 cm in the longest diameter that show interval 
growth in subsequent scans of at least 1 cm. 
Any lesion that meets the requirements for unequivocal new lesions will trigger PD.  Any 
lesion that does not meet the above criteria (e.g., < 1 cm in longest diameter and/or does not 
show typical HCC vascular enhancement pattern) should be considered an equivocal new 
lesion.  If an equivocal lesion is later determined to be unequivocal, the time point of 
progression will be the time point the lesion was first noted as equivocal.

1. One blood pressure (BP) assessment is defined as the 
mean value of three measurements at least 5 minutes 
apart. 
2. For previously normotensive subjects, monotherapy 
with one of the classes of antihypertensives should be 
started when systolic BP ≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP 
≥90 mmHg is firstly observed  on 2 measurements 1 
hour apart.  For those subjects already on 
antihypertensive medication, the dose of the current 
agent may be increased, if appropriate, or one or more 
agents of a different class of antihypertensives should be 
added. 
3. If systolic BP ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg 
continues despite optimal management of hypertension, 
lenvatinib should be interrupted and resumed according 
to Table 3 at a dose of one-dose level reduction only 
when systolic BP ≤150 mmHg and diastolic BP ≤95 
mmHg and the subject has been on a stable dose of 
antihypertensive medication for at least 48 hours. 
4. If systolic BP ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg 
recurs despite the optimal management of hypertension, 
one-dose level reduction should be attempted. 
5. Discontinue lenvatinib administration when Grade 4 
hypertension (life-threatening) is present 
hypertension will be based on BP measurements only (and 
not on the number of antihypertensive medications). 
1. When blood pressure (BP) is elevated (systolic BP 
≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg), BP 
measurement should be repeated at least 5 min apart.  In 
this case, BP assessment is defined as the mean value of 
two measurements at least 5 minutes apart. 
2. When systolic BP ≥140 mmHg or diastolic BP 
≥90 mmHg is observed in the 1st BP assessment, the 
2nd BP assessment should be repeated at least 30 min 
apart.  The 2nd BP assessment is defined as the mean 
value of two measurements at least 5 minutes apart. For 
previously normotensive subjects, monotherapy with
