Indications of Lenvanix 4mg
Lenvanix 4 is a kinase inhibitor that is indicated:
- For the treatment of patients with locally recurrent or metastatic, progressive, radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
- In combination with everolimus, for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following one prior antiangiogenic therapy.
- For the first-line treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Pharmacology
Based on x-ray crystallography and kinetic interaction studies, Lenvanix binds to the adenosine 5′-triphosphate binding site of VEGFR2 and to a neighboring region via a cyclopropane ring and thereby inhibits tyrosine kinase activity and associated signaling pathways.
Lenvatinib is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that inhibits the kinase activities of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors VEGFR1 (FLT1), VEGFR2 (KDR), and VEGFR3 (FLT4). Lenvanix inhibits other RTKs 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; the platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα), KIT, and RET.
Dosage & Administration
Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC): The recommended dosage is 24 mg orally once daily.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC): The recommended dosage is 18 mg orally once daily with everolimus 5 mg orally once daily.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): The recommended dosage is based on actual body weight:
- 12 mg orally once daily for patients greater than or equal to 60 kg
- 8 mg orally once daily for patients less than 60 kg.
Modify the recommended daily dose for certain patients with renal or hepatic impairment.
