General Description

Lenvatinib 4mg, 10mg; caps.

Pharmacological Class

Kinase inhibitor.

Manufacturer

NO

Mechanism of Action

Lenvatinib inhibits the kinase activities of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors VEGFR1 (FLT1), VEGFR2 (KDR), and VEGFR3 (FLT4). It inhibits other kinases that have been implicated in pathogenic angiogenesis, tumor growth, and cancer progression in addition to their normal cellular functions, including fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors FGFR1, 2, 3, and 4; platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα), KIT, and RET. Lenvatinib also exhibited antiproliferative activity in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines dependent on activated FGFR signaling with a concurrent inhibition of FGF-receptor substrate 2α (FRS2α) phosphorylation.

Lenvima Indications

Indications

In combination with pembrolizumab, for the first-line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In combination with everolimus, for treatment of advanced RCC following one prior anti-angiogenic therapy.

Lenvima Dosage and Administration

Adult

Swallow whole or may dissolve capsule contents into liquid. First-line treatment: 20mg once daily (in combination with pembrolizumab 200mg IV every 3 weeks) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or up to 2yrs. After 2yrs completion, may give lenvatinib as a single-agent until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Previously treated: 18mg (in combination with everolimus 5mg) once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Severe renal impairment (CrCl <30mL/min) or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C): 10mg once daily. Dose modifications for adverse reactions: see full labeling.

Lenvima Warnings/Precautions

Warnings/Precautions

Control BP prior to treatment; monitor after 1 week, every 2 weeks for the first 2 months, and then at least monthly thereafter during therapy. Permanently discontinue if Grade 4 hypertension or cardiac dysfunction, arterial thrombotic event, hepatic failure, nephrotic syndrome, GI perforation, Grade 3 or 4 fistula, severe and persistent neurologic symptoms, or other Grade 4 reactions (eg, diarrhea, hemorrhage, hypocalcemia) occur. Withhold if Grade 3 hypertension persists despite therapy, Grade 3 cardiac dysfunction, Grade 3 or 4 liver/renal impairment, ≥2g of proteinuria/24hrs, QT prolongation >500ms, reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS), other persistent/intolerable Grade 2 or 3 reactions, or Grade 4 lab abnormality occurs. Monitor for signs/symptoms of cardiac dysfunction. Monitor liver function prior to treatment, every 2 weeks for the first 2 months, then at least monthly during treatment. Monitor for proteinuria prior to, and periodically during treatment. Monitor for dehydration and treat if diarrhea develops. Hypovolemia. Congenital long QT syndrome, CHF, bradyarrhythmias, or those taking Class Ia or III antiarrhythmic drugs; monitor ECGs. Monitor and correct electrolyte abnormalities. Monitor blood calcium levels at least monthly; replace as needed during treatment. Monitor thyroid function prior to initiation and at least monthly thereafter; treat hypothyroidism as needed. Concomitant exposure to other risk factors (eg, bisphosphonates, denosumab, dental disease/invasive procedures) may increase the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ); withhold Lenvima for ≥1 week prior to scheduled dental surgery/invasive procedures or for development of ONJ until resolution. Impaired wound healing: withhold for ≥1 week prior to elective surgery; do not give for ≥2 weeks after major surgery and until adequate healing. ESRD. Embryo-fetal toxicity. Pregnancy: exclude status prior to initiation. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during and for ≥30 days after the last dose. Nursing mothers: not recommended (during and for ≥1 week after the last dose).
