The data in the Warnings and Precautions reflect exposure to LENVIMA as a single agent in 261 patients with DTC (SELECT) and 476 patients with HCC (REFLECT), LENVIMA with pembrolizumab in 406 patients with endometrial carcinoma (Study 309), LENVIMA with everolimus in 62 patients with RCC (Study 205), and LENVIMA with pembrolizumab in 352 patients with RCC (CLEAR). Safety data obtained in 1823 patients with advanced solid tumors who received LENVIMA as a single agent across multiple clinical studies was used to further characterize the risks of serious adverse reactions. Among the 1823 patients who received LENVIMA as a single agent, the median age was 61 years (20 to 89 years), the dose range was 0.2 mg to 32 mg daily, and the median duration of exposure was 5.6 months. The data below reflect exposure to LENVIMA in 1557 patients enrolled in randomized, active-controlled trials (REFLECT; Study 205; CLEAR; Study 309), and a randomized, placebo-controlled trial (SELECT). The median duration of exposure to LENVIMA across these five studies ranged from 6 to 16 months. The demographic and exposure data for each clinical trial population are described in the subsections below. Differentiated Thyroid Cancer The safety of LENVIMA was evaluated in SELECT, in which patients with radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer were randomized (2:1) to LENVIMA (n=261) or placebo (n=131) [ see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 ) ] . The median treatment duration was 16.1 months for LENVIMA. Among 261 patients who received LENVIMA, median age was 64 years, 52% were females, 80% were White, 18% were Asian, and 2% were Black; and 4% were Hispanic/Latino. The most common adverse reactions observed in LENVIMA-treated patients (≥30%) were, in order of decreasing frequency, hypertension, fatigue, diarrhea, arthralgia/myalgia, decreased appetite, decreased weight, nausea, stomatitis, headache, vomiting, proteinuria, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) syndrome, abdominal pain, and dysphonia. The most common serious adverse reactions (at least 2%) were pneumonia (4%), hypertension (3%), and dehydration (3%). Adverse reactions led to dose reductions in 68% of patients receiving LENVIMA; 18% of patients discontinued LENVIMA for adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions (at least 10%) resulting in dose reductions of LENVIMA were hypertension (13%), proteinuria (11%), decreased appetite (10%), and diarrhea (10%); the most common adverse reactions (at least 1%) resulting in discontinuation of LENVIMA were hypertension (1%) and asthenia (1%). Table 3 presents adverse reactions occurring at a higher rate in LENVIMA-treated patients than patients receiving placebo in the double-blind phase of the study.

LENVIMA (n = 253 to 258), Placebo (n = 129 to 131) The following laboratory abnormalities (all Grades) occurred in >5% of LENVIMA-treated patients and at a rate that was two-fold or higher than in patients who received placebo: hypoalbuminemia, increased alkaline phosphatase, hypomagnesemia, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, hypercalcemia, hypercholesterolemia, increased serum amylase, and hyperkalemia. First-Line Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma in Combination with P embrolizumab (CLEAR) The safety of LENVIMA in combination with pembrolizumab was investigated in CLEAR [ s ee Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . Patients received LENVIMA 20 mg orally once daily in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks (n=352), or LENVIMA 18 mg orally once daily in combination with everolimus 5 mg orally once daily (n=355), or sunitinib 50 mg orally once daily for 4 weeks then off treatment for 2 weeks (n=340). The median duration of exposure to the combination therapy of LENVIMA and pembrolizumab was 17 months (range: 0.1 to 39). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4.3% of patients receiving LENVIMA in combination with pembrolizumab, including cardio-respiratory arrest (0.9%), sepsis (0.9%), and one case (0.3%) each of arrhythmia, autoimmune hepatitis, dyspnea, hypertensive crisis, increased blood creatinine, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, myasthenic syndrome, myocarditis, nephritis, pneumonitis, ruptured aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

LENVIMA/pembrolizumab (n= 343 to 349) and sunitinib (n= 329 to 335). Grade 3 and 4 increased ALT or AST was seen in 9% of patients. Grade ≥2 increased ALT or AST was reported in 64 (18%) patients, of whom 20 (31%) received ≥40 mg daily oral prednisone equivalent. Recurrence of Grade ≥2 increased ALT or AST was observed in 3 patients on rechallenge in patients receiving LENVIMA and 10 patients receiving both LENVIMA and pembrolizumab. Previously T reated Renal Cell Carcinoma in Combination with Everolimus (Study 205) The safety of LENVIMA was evaluated in Study 205, in which patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were randomized (1:1:1) to LENVIMA 18 mg orally once daily with everolimus 5 mg orally once daily (n=51), LENVIMA 24 mg orally once daily (n=52), or everolimus 10 mg orally once daily (n=50) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 ) ] . This data also includes patients on the dose escalation portion of the study who received LENVIMA with everolimus (n=11). The median treatment duration was 8.1 months for LENVIMA with everolimus. Among 62 patients who received LENVIMA with everolimus, the median age was 61 years, 71% were men, and 98% were White. The most common adverse reactions observed in the LENVIMA with everolimus-treated group (≥30%) were, in order of decreasing frequency, diarrhea, fatigue, arthralgia/myalgia, decreased appetite, vomiting, nausea, stomatitis/oral inflammation, hypertension, peripheral edema, cough, abdominal pain, dyspnea, rash, decreased weight, hemorrhagic events, and proteinuria. The most common serious adverse reactions (≥5%) were renal failure (11%), dehydration (10%), anemia (6%), thrombocytopenia (5%), diarrhea (5%), vomiting (5%), and dyspnea (5%). Adverse reactions led to dose reductions or interruption in 89% of patients receiving LENVIMA with everolimus.

LENVIMA with Everolimus (n = 62), Everolimus (n = 50). Hepatocellular Carcinoma The safety of LENVIMA was evaluated in REFLECT, which randomized (1:1) patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to LENVIMA (n=476) or sorafenib (n=475) [ see Clinical Studies ( 14.3 ) ] . The dose of LENVIMA was 12 mg orally once daily for patients with a baseline body weight of ≥60 kg and 8 mg orally once daily for patients with a baseline body weight of <60 kg. The dose of sorafenib was 400 mg orally twice daily. Duration of treatment was ≥6 months in 49% and 32% of patients in the LENVIMA and sorafenib groups, respectively. Among the 476 patients who received LENVIMA in REFLECT, the median age was 63 years, 85% were men, 28% were White and 70% were Asian. The most common adverse reactions observed in the LENVIMA-treated patients (≥20%) were, in order of decreasing frequency, hypertension, fatigue, diarrhea, decreased appetite, arthralgia/myalgia, decreased weight, abdominal pain, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, proteinuria, dysphonia, hemorrhagic events, hypothyroidism, and nausea. The most common serious adverse reactions (≥2%) in LENVIMA-treated patients were hepatic encephalopathy (5%), hepatic failure (3%), ascites (3%), and decreased appetite (2%). Adverse reactions led to dose reduction or interruption in 62% of patients receiving LENVIMA. The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) resulting in dose reduction or interruption of LENVIMA were fatigue (9%), decreased appetite (8%), diarrhea (8%), proteinuria (7%), hypertension (6%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (5%). Treatment discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients in the LENVIMA-treated group. The most common adverse reactions (≥1%) resulting in discontinuation of LENVIMA were fatigue (1%), hepatic encephalopathy (2%), hyperbilirubinemia (1%), and hepatic failure (1%). Table 9 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in ≥10% of patients receiving LENVIMA in REFLECT. REFLECT was not designed to demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in adverse reaction rates for LENVIMA, as compared to sorafenib, for any specified adverse reaction listed in Table 9.

LENVIMA (n=278 to 470) and sorafenib (n=260 to 473) Endometrial Carcinoma The safety of LENVIMA in combination with pembrolizumab was investigated in Study 309, a multicenter, open-label, randomized (1:1), active-controlled trial in patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma previously treated with at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen in any setting, including in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings [see Clinical Studies ( 14.4 ) ]. Patients with endometrial carcinoma that are pMMR or not MSI-H received LENVIMA 20 mg orally once daily with pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks (n=342); or received doxorubicin or paclitaxel (n= 325). For patients with pMMR or not MSI-H status, the median duration of study treatment was 7.2 months (range 1 day to 26.8 months) and the median duration of exposure to LENVIMA was 6.7 months (range: 1 day to 26.8 months). Fatal adverse reactions among these patients occurred in 4.7% of those treated with LENVIMA and pembrolizumab, including 2 cases of pneumonia, and 1 case of the following: acute kidney injury, acute myocardial infarction, colitis, decreased appetite, intestinal perforation, lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage, malignant gastrointestinal obstruction, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, myelodysplastic syndrome, pulmonary embolism, and right ventricular dysfunction. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 50% of these patients receiving LENVIMA and pembrolizumab. Serious adverse reactions with frequency ≥3% were hypertension (4.4%), and urinary tract infection (3.2%). Discontinuation of LENVIMA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 26% of these patients. The most common (≥1 %) adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of LENVIMA were hypertension (2%), asthenia (1.8%), diarrhea (1.2%), decreased appetite (1.2%), proteinuria (1.2%), and vomiting (1.2%). Dose reductions of LENVIMA due to adverse reactions occurred in 67% of patients. The most common (≥5%) adverse reactions resulting in dose reduction of LENVIMA were hypertension (18%), diarrhea (11%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (9%), proteinuria (7%), fatigue (7%), decreased appetite (6%), asthenia (5%), and weight decreased (5%). Dose interruptions of LENVIMA due to an adverse reaction occurred in 58% of these patients. The most common (≥2%) adverse reactions leading to interruption of LENVIMA were hypertension (11%), diarrhea (11%), proteinuria (6%), decreased appetite (5%), vomiting (5%), increased alanine aminotransferase (3.5%), fatigue (3.5%), nausea (3.5%), abdominal pain (2.9%), weight decreased (2.6%), urinary tract infection (2.6%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (2.3%), asthenia (2.3%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (2%).

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Drugs That Prolong the QT Interval LENVIMA has been reported to prolong the QT/QTc interval. Avoid coadministration of LENVIMA with medicinal products with a known potential to prolong the QT/QTc interval [ see Warnings and Precaution s ( 5.9 ) ] .

Clinical Pharmacology

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Lenvatinib is a kinase inhibitor that inhibits the kinase activities of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors VEGFR1 (FLT1), VEGFR2 (KDR), and VEGFR3 (FLT4). Lenvatinib 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. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, lenvatinib decreased tumor-associated macrophages, increased activated cytotoxic T cells, and demonstrated greater antitumor activity in combination with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody compared to either treatment alone. The combination of lenvatinib and everolimus showed increased antiangiogenic and antitumor activity as demonstrated by decreases in human endothelial cell proliferation, tube formation, and VEGF signaling in vitro, and by decreases in tumor volume in mouse xenograft models of human renal cell cancer that were greater than those with either drug alone. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Relationships In a multicenter randomized (1:1) double blind trial of 152 patients with radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory DTC, a dose-response relationship for overall response rate (ORR) was observed over the dose range of 18 mg (0.75 times the recommended dose of 24 mg) and 24 mg. A higher ORR was observed at the recommended lenvatinib dose. No dose-response relationships for adverse reactions, serious adverse reactions, adverse reactions leading to study drug discontinuation, and adverse reactions leading to study drug interruption were observed over the same dose range. 12. 3 Pharmacokinetics In patients with solid tumors administered single and multiple doses of LENVIMA once daily, the maximum lenvatinib plasma concentration (C max ) and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) increased proportionally over the dose range of 3.2 mg (0.1 times the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg) to 32 mg (1.33 times the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg) with a median accumulation index of 0.96 (20 mg) to 1.54 (6.4 mg). Geometric mean C max and AUC values at steady state for RCC, DTC and HCC are summarized in the Table 13. Table 13: Lenvatinib C max and AUC in Patients with Solid Tumors a Tumor Type Dose Parameter N Geometric Mean %CV RCC 18 mg C max (ng/mL) 350 267 36.7 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 350 3148 42.5 20 mg C max (ng/mL) 346 275 32.6 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 346 3135 41.3 DTC 24 mg C max (ng/mL) 251 323 33.3 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 251 3483 34.7 HCC (body weight < 60 kg) 8 mg C max (ng/mL) 150 154 25.4 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 150 1835 34.0 HCC (body weight ≥ 60 kg) 12 mg C max (ng/mL) 318 172 23.1 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 318 2013 29.3 a Model-predicted steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters are presented. Absorption The time to peak plasma concentration (T max ) typically occurred from 1 to 4 hours post-dose. Food Effect Administration with a high fat meal (approximately 900 calories of which approximately 55% were from fat, 15% from protein, and 30% from carbohydrates) did not affect the extent of absorption, but decreased the rate of absorption and delayed the median T max from 2 hours to 4 hours. Distribution Model-predicted geometric mean steady state volume of distribution is 97 L (%CV, 30.2%). Protein binding of lenvatinib is 97% to 99%, which is independent of concentration, and is not impacted by hepatic or renal function. The blood-to-plasma concentration ratio ranged from 0.59 to 0.61 at concentrations of 0.1 to 10 μg/mL in vitro. Elimination The terminal elimination half-life of lenvatinib was approximately 28 hours. Metabolism The main metabolic pathways for lenvatinib in humans were identified as enzymatic (CYP3A and aldehyde oxidase) and non-enzymatic processes. Excretion Ten days after a single administration of radiolabeled lenvatinib, approximately 64% and 25% of the radiolabel were eliminated in the feces and urine, respectively. Specific Populations Age (18 to 92 years), sex, race/ethnicity (White, Black and Asian), tumor types (DTC, RCC, HCC and other tumor types) and renal impairment (creatinine clearance: 15-89 mL/min) did not have a significant effect on apparent oral clearance (CL/F). Subjects with end stage renal disease were not studied. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The pharmacokinetics of lenvatinib following a single 10 mg dose were evaluated in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh A) or moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment. The pharmacokinetics of a single 5 mg dose were evaluated in subjects with severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment. Compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, the dose-adjusted AUC 0-inf of lenvatinib for subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment were 119%, 107%, and 180%, respectively. Apparent oral clearance of lenvatinib in patients with HCC and mild hepatic impairment was similar to patients with HCC and moderate hepatic impairment. Body Weight Lenvatinib exposures in patients with HCC in REFLECT were comparable between those weighing <60 kg who received a starting dose of 8 mg and those ≥60 kg who received a starting dose of 12 mg. Drug Interaction Studies Effect of Other D rugs on L envatinib CYP3A, P-gp, and BCRP Inhibitor s : Ketoconazole (400 mg daily for 18 days) increased lenvatinib (administered as a single 5 mg dose on Day 5) AUC by 15% and C max by 19%. P-gp Inhibitor : Rifampicin (600 mg as a single dose) increased lenvatinib (24 mg as a single dose) AUC by 31% and C max by 33%. CYP3A and P-gp Inducers : Rifampicin (600 mg daily for 21 days) decreased lenvatinib (24 mg as a single dose on Day 15) AUC by 18%. The C max was unchanged. Population pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that neither everolimus nor pembrolizumab meaningfully affect the pharmacokinetics of lenvatinib. In Vitro Studies with Transporters: Lenvatinib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP but not a substrate for organic anion transporter (OAT) 1, OAT3, organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, OATP1B3, organic cation transporter (OCT) 1, OCT2, multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) 1, MATE2-K, or the bile salt export pump (BSEP). Effect of L envatinib on O ther D rugs CYP2C8 Substrate : There is no projected significant drug-drug interaction risk between lenvatinib and repaglinide. CYP3A4 Substrate : Co-administration of lenvatinib with midazolam had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam. Population pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that lenvatinib does not meaningfully affect the pharmacokinetics of either everolimus or pembrolizumab. In Vitro Studies with Substrates of CYP or UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) : Lenvatinib inhibits CYP2C8, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A. Lenvatinib does not inhibit CYP2A6 and CYP2E1. Lenvatinib induces CYP3A, but it does not induce CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP2C9. Lenvatinib inhibits UGT1A1, UGT1A4, and UGT1A9 in vitro, but likely only inhibits UGT1A1 in vivo in the gastrointestinal tract based on the expression of the enzyme in tissues. Lenvatinib does not inhibit UGT1A6, UGT2B7 or aldehyde oxidase. Lenvatinib does not induce UGT1A1, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, or UGT2B7. In Vitro Studies with Substrates of Transporter s : Lenvatinib does not have the potential to inhibit MATE1, MATE2-K, OCT1, OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, BSEP, OATP1B1, or OATP1B3 in vivo.

Mechanism Of Action

12.1 Mechanism of Action Lenvatinib is a kinase inhibitor that inhibits the kinase activities of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors VEGFR1 (FLT1), VEGFR2 (KDR), and VEGFR3 (FLT4). Lenvatinib 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. In syngeneic mouse tumor models, lenvatinib decreased tumor-associated macrophages, increased activated cytotoxic T cells, and demonstrated greater antitumor activity in combination with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody compared to either treatment alone. The combination of lenvatinib and everolimus showed increased antiangiogenic and antitumor activity as demonstrated by decreases in human endothelial cell proliferation, tube formation, and VEGF signaling in vitro, and by decreases in tumor volume in mouse xenograft models of human renal cell cancer that were greater than those with either drug alone.

Pharmacodynamics

12.2 Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Relationships In a multicenter randomized (1:1) double blind trial of 152 patients with radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory DTC, a dose-response relationship for overall response rate (ORR) was observed over the dose range of 18 mg (0.75 times the recommended dose of 24 mg) and 24 mg. A higher ORR was observed at the recommended lenvatinib dose. No dose-response relationships for adverse reactions, serious adverse reactions, adverse reactions leading to study drug discontinuation, and adverse reactions leading to study drug interruption were observed over the same dose range.

Pharmacokinetics

12. 3 Pharmacokinetics In patients with solid tumors administered single and multiple doses of LENVIMA once daily, the maximum lenvatinib plasma concentration (C max ) and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) increased proportionally over the dose range of 3.2 mg (0.1 times the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg) to 32 mg (1.33 times the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg) with a median accumulation index of 0.96 (20 mg) to 1.54 (6.4 mg). Geometric mean C max and AUC values at steady state for RCC, DTC and HCC are summarized in the Table 13. Table 13: Lenvatinib C max and AUC in Patients with Solid Tumors a Tumor Type Dose Parameter N Geometric Mean %CV RCC 18 mg C max (ng/mL) 350 267 36.7 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 350 3148 42.5 20 mg C max (ng/mL) 346 275 32.6 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 346 3135 41.3 DTC 24 mg C max (ng/mL) 251 323 33.3 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 251 3483 34.7 HCC (body weight < 60 kg) 8 mg C max (ng/mL) 150 154 25.4 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 150 1835 34.0 HCC (body weight ≥ 60 kg) 12 mg C max (ng/mL) 318 172 23.1 AUC (ng∙h/mL) 318 2013 29.3 a Model-predicted steady-state pharmacokinetic parameters are presented. Absorption The time to peak plasma concentration (T max ) typically occurred from 1 to 4 hours post-dose. Food Effect Administration with a high fat meal (approximately 900 calories of which approximately 55% were from fat, 15% from protein, and 30% from carbohydrates) did not affect the extent of absorption, but decreased the rate of absorption and delayed the median T max from 2 hours to 4 hours. Distribution Model-predicted geometric mean steady state volume of distribution is 97 L (%CV, 30.2%). Protein binding of lenvatinib is 97% to 99%, which is independent of concentration, and is not impacted by hepatic or renal function. The blood-to-plasma concentration ratio ranged from 0.59 to 0.61 at concentrations of 0.1 to 10 μg/mL in vitro. Elimination The terminal elimination half-life of lenvatinib was approximately 28 hours. Metabolism The main metabolic pathways for lenvatinib in humans were identified as enzymatic (CYP3A and aldehyde oxidase) and non-enzymatic processes. Excretion Ten days after a single administration of radiolabeled lenvatinib, approximately 64% and 25% of the radiolabel were eliminated in the feces and urine, respectively. Specific Populations Age (18 to 92 years), sex, race/ethnicity (White, Black and Asian), tumor types (DTC, RCC, HCC and other tumor types) and renal impairment (creatinine clearance: 15-89 mL/min) did not have a significant effect on apparent oral clearance (CL/F). Subjects with end stage renal disease were not studied. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The pharmacokinetics of lenvatinib following a single 10 mg dose were evaluated in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh A) or moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment. The pharmacokinetics of a single 5 mg dose were evaluated in subjects with severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment. Compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, the dose-adjusted AUC 0-inf of lenvatinib for subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment were 119%, 107%, and 180%, respectively. Apparent oral clearance of lenvatinib in patients with HCC and mild hepatic impairment was similar to patients with HCC and moderate hepatic impairment. Body Weight Lenvatinib exposures in patients with HCC in REFLECT were comparable between those weighing <60 kg who received a starting dose of 8 mg and those ≥60 kg who received a starting dose of 12 mg. Drug Interaction Studies Effect of Other D rugs on L envatinib CYP3A, P-gp, and BCRP Inhibitor s : Ketoconazole (400 mg daily for 18 days) increased lenvatinib (administered as a single 5 mg dose on Day 5) AUC by 15% and C max by 19%. P-gp Inhibitor : Rifampicin (600 mg as a single dose) increased lenvatinib (24 mg as a single dose) AUC by 31% and C max by 33%. CYP3A and P-gp Inducers : Rifampicin (600 mg daily for 21 days) decreased lenvatinib (24 mg as a single dose on Day 15) AUC by 18%. The C max was unchanged. Population pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that neither everolimus nor pembrolizumab meaningfully affect the pharmacokinetics of lenvatinib. In Vitro Studies with Transporters: Lenvatinib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP but not a substrate for organic anion transporter (OAT) 1, OAT3, organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1, OATP1B3, organic cation transporter (OCT) 1, OCT2, multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) 1, MATE2-K, or the bile salt export pump (BSEP).

Population pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that lenvatinib does not meaningfully affect the pharmacokinetics of either everolimus or pembrolizumab. In Vitro Studies with Substrates of CYP or UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) : Lenvatinib inhibits CYP2C8, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A. Lenvatinib does not inhibit CYP2A6 and CYP2E1. Lenvatinib induces CYP3A, but it does not induce CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP2C9. Lenvatinib inhibits UGT1A1, UGT1A4, and UGT1A9 in vitro, but likely only inhibits UGT1A1 in vivo in the gastrointestinal tract based on the expression of the enzyme in tissues. Lenvatinib does not inhibit UGT1A6, UGT2B7 or aldehyde oxidase. Lenvatinib does not induce UGT1A1, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, or UGT2B7. In Vitro Studies with Substrates of Transporter s : Lenvatinib does not have the potential to inhibit MATE1, MATE2-K, OCT1, OCT2, OAT1, OAT3, BSEP, OATP1B1, or OATP1B3 in vivo.

    Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of F ertility Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with lenvatinib. Lenvatinib mesylate was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay. Lenvatinib was not clastogenic in the in vitro mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase assay or the in vivo rat micronucleus assay. No specific studies with lenvatinib have been conducted in animals to evaluate the effect on fertility; however, results from general toxicology studies in rats, monkeys, and dogs suggest there is a potential for lenvatinib to impair fertility. Male dogs exhibited testicular hypocellularity of the seminiferous epithelium and desquamated seminiferous epithelial cells in the epididymides at lenvatinib exposures approximately 0.02 to 0.09 times the AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg once daily. Follicular atresia of the ovaries was observed in monkeys and rats at exposures 0.2 to 0.8 times and 10 to 44 times the AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg once daily, respectively. In addition, in monkeys, a decreased incidence of menstruation was reported at lenvatinib exposures lower than those observed in humans at the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg once daily.

    PATIENT INFORMATION LENVIMA® (lehn-veema) (lenvatinib) capsules
    What is LENVIMA? LENVIMA is a prescription medicine that is used to treat people with certain kinds of cancer.
  • LENVIMA is used by itself to treat differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), a type of thyroid cancer that can no longer be treated with radioactive iodine and is progressing.
  • LENVIMA is used to treat adults with a type of kidney cancer called advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC): ○ along with the medicine pembrolizumab as your first treatment when your kidney cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. ○ along with the medicine everolimus after one course of treatment with another anti-cancer medicine.
  • LENVIMA is used by itself as the first treatment for a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) when it cannot be removed by surgery.
  • LENVIMA is used along with another medicine called pembrolizumab to treat advanced endometrial carcinoma (EC), a type of uterine cancer: ○ when a laboratory test shows that your tumor is mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) or not microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), and ○ you have received anti-cancer treatment, and it is no longer working, and ○ your cancer cannot be cured by surgery or radiation.
  • It is not known if LENVIMA is safe and effective in children.
    Before you take LENVIMA, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
  • have high blood pressure
  • have heart problems
  • have a history of blood clots in your arteries (type of blood vessel), including stroke, heart attack, or change in vision
  • have or have had liver or kidney problems
  • have a history of a tear (perforation) in your stomach or intestine, or an abnormal connection between two or more body parts (fistula)
  • have headaches, seizures, or vision problems
  • have any bleeding problems
  • plan to have surgery, a dental procedure, or have had a recent surgery. You should stop taking LENVIMA at least 1 week before planned surgery. See “What are the possible side effects of LENVIMA?”
  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. LENVIMA can harm your unborn baby. Females who are able to become pregnant: ○ Your healthcare provider should do a pregnancy test before you start treatment with LENVIMA. ○ You should use an effective method of birth control during treatment with LENVIMA and for 30 days after the last dose of LENVIMA. Talk with your healthcare provider about birth control methods you can use during this time. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you are pregnant during treatment with LENVIMA.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if LENVIMA passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment with LENVIMA and for 1 week after the last dose.
  • Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you are taking, or have taken, an osteoporosis medicine. Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines to show to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.
    How should I take LENVIMA?
  • Take LENVIMA exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it.
  • Your healthcare provider will tell you how much LENVIMA to take and when to take it. Your healthcare provider may change your dose during treatment, stop treatment for some time, or completely stop treatment with LENVIMA if you have side effects.
  • Take LENVIMA 1 time each day at the same time, with or without food.
  • If you miss a dose of LENVIMA, take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is due within 12 hours, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at your regular time.
  • Swallow LENVIMA capsules whole. Do not crush or chew the LENVIMA capsules.
  • If you cannot swallow LENVIMA capsules whole, LENVIMA capsules can be mixed with water or apple juice, then taken by mouth, or mixed with water and given through a feeding tube.
  • How to take LENVIMA by mouth if you cannot swallow whole capsules:
  • Place your daily dose, up to 5 capsules, in a small container or oral syringe (approximately 20 mL capacity).
  • Add 3 mL of water or apple juice to the container or oral syringe. Wait 10 minutes for the capsule shell (outer surface) to dissolve completely, then stir or shake the mixture for 3 minutes until capsules are fully dissolved. Do not break or crush the capsules.
  • Drink the liquid mixture or use an oral syringe to take directly into the mouth.
  • Next, using a second syringe, add an additional 2 mL of liquid to the container or oral syringe (cap the first oral syringe before adding the additional water) then swirl or shake and take the liquid mixture. Repeat this step at least one time and until you cannot see any of the LENVIMA mixture left in the container or oral syringe to make sure all of the medicine is taken.
  • If 6 capsules are required for your daily dose, follow the above instructions using 3 capsules at a time.
  • How to give LENVIMA through a feeding tube:
  • LENVIMA should be given in feeding tubes of at least 5 French diameter (polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane tube) and at least 6 French diameter (silicone tube). ○ Place your daily dose, up to 5 capsules, in a syringe (20 mL capacity). ○ Add 3 mL of water to the syringe. Wait 10 minutes for the capsule shell (outer surface) to dissolve completely, then stir or shake the mixture for 3 minutes until capsules are fully dissolved. Do not break or crush the capsules. ○ Give the mixture through a feeding tube. ○ Next, cap the syringe and remove the plunger. Use a second syringe and add an additional 2 mL of liquid to the syringe. Swirl or shake and give the mixture in the feeding tube. Repeat this step at least one time and until you cannot see any of the LENVIMA mixture left in the syringe to make sure all of the medicine is taken. ○ If 6 capsules are required for your daily dose, follow the above instructions using 3 capsules at a time.
  • LENVIMA mixture may be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator at 36ºF to 46ºF (2ºC to 8ºC) for a maximum of 24 hours. Throw away the LENVIMA mixture if not used within 24 hours of mixing.
  • If you take too much LENVIMA, call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.
  • What are the possible side effects of LENVIMA? LENVIMA may cause serious side effects, including:
  • High blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is a common side effect of LENVIMA and can be serious. Your blood pressure should be well controlled before you start taking LENVIMA. Your healthcare provider should check your blood pressure regularly during treatment with LENVIMA. If you develop blood pressure problems, your healthcare provider may prescribe medicine to treat your high blood pressure.
  • Heart problems. LENVIMA can cause serious heart problems that may lead to death. Call your healthcare provider right away if you get symptoms of heart problems, such as shortness of breath or swelling of your ankles.
  • Problem with blood clots in your blood vessels (arteries). Get emergency medical help right away if you get any of the following symptoms:
  • severe chest pain or pressure
  • pain in your arms, back, neck or jaw
  • shortness of breath
  • numbness or weakness on one side of your body
  • trouble talking
  • sudden severe headache
  • sudden vision changes
  • Liver problems. LENVIMA may cause liver problems that may lead to liver failure and death. Your healthcare provider will check your liver function before and during treatment with LENVIMA. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms: ○ your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow (jaundice) ○ dark “tea colored” urine ○ light-colored bowel movements (stools) ○ feeling drowsy, confused or loss of consciousness
  • Kidney problems. Kidney failure, which can lead to death, has happened with LENVIMA treatment. Your healthcare provider should do regular blood tests to check your kidneys.
  • Increased protein in your urine (proteinuria). Proteinuria is a common side effect of LENVIMA and can be serious. Your healthcare provider should check your urine for protein before and during your treatment with LENVIMA.
  • Diarrhea. Diarrhea is a common side effect of LENVIMA and can be serious. If you get diarrhea, ask your healthcare provider about what medicines you can take to treat your diarrhea. It is important to drink more water when you get diarrhea. Tell your healthcare provider or go to the emergency room if you are unable to drink enough liquids and your diarrhea is not able to be controlled.
  • An opening in the wall of your stomach or intestines (perforation) or an abnormal connection between two or more body parts (fistula). Get emergency medical help right away if you have severe stomach (abdomen) pain.
  • Changes in the electrical activity of your heart called QT prolongation. QT prolongation can cause irregular heartbeats that can be life threatening. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests before and during your treatment with LENVIMA to check the levels of potassium, magnesium, and calcium in your blood, and may check the electrical activity of your heart with an ECG.
  • Low levels of blood calcium (hypocalcemia). Your healthcare provider will check your blood calcium levels during treatment with LENVIMA and may tell you to take a calcium supplement if your calcium levels are low.
  • A condition called Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome (RPLS). Call your healthcare provider right away if you get severe headache, seizures, weakness, confusion, or blindness or change in vision.
  • Bleeding. LENVIMA may cause serious bleeding problems that may lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any signs or symptoms of bleeding during treatment with LENVIMA, including:
  • severe and persistent nose bleeds
  • vomiting blood
  • red or black (looks like tar) stools
  • blood in your urine
  • coughing up blood or blood clots
  • heavy or new onset vaginal bleeding
  • Change in thyroid hormone levels. Your healthcare provider should check your thyroid hormone levels before starting and every month during treatment with LENVIMA.
  • Wound healing problems. Wound healing problems have happened in some people who take LENVIMA. Tell your healthcare provider if you plan to have any surgery before or during treatment with LENVIMA. ○ You should stop taking LENVIMA at least 1 week before planned surgery. ○ Your healthcare provider should tell you when you may start taking LENVIMA again after surgery.
  • Severe jawbone problems (osteonecrosis). Severe jawbone problems have happened in some people who take LENVIMA. Certain risk factors such as taking a bisphosphonate medicine or the medicine denosumab, having dental disease, or an invasive dental procedure may increase your risk of getting jawbone problems. Your healthcare provider should examine your mouth before you start and during treatment with LENVIMA. Tell your dentist that you are taking LENVIMA. It is important for you to practice good mouth care during treatment with LENVIMA. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get signs or symptoms of jawbone problems during treatment with LENVIMA, including jaw pain, toothache, or sores on your gums. Tell your healthcare provider if you plan to have any dental procedures before or during treatment with LENVIMA. You should avoid having invasive dental procedures if possible, during treatment with LENVIMA. Stopping your bisphosphonate medicine before an invasive dental procedure may help decrease your risk of getting these jaw problems. ○ You should stop taking LENVIMA at least 1 week before planned dental surgery or invasive dental procedures. ○ Your healthcare provider should tell you when you may start taking LENVIMA again after dental procedures.

Radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory was defined as 1 or more measurable lesions with no iodine uptake on RAI scan, iodine uptake with progression within 12 months of RAI therapy, or having received cumulative RAI activity >600 mCi (22 GBq) with the last dose administered at least 6 months prior to study entry. Patients were randomized to receive LENVIMA 24 mg once daily (n=261) or placebo (n=131) until disease progression. Randomization was stratified by geographic region, prior VEGF/VEGFR-targeted therapy, and age. The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) as determined by blinded independent radiologic review using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Independent review confirmation of disease progression was required prior to discontinuing patients from the randomization phase of the study. Other efficacy outcome measures included objective response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS). Patients in the placebo arm could receive lenvatinib following independent review confirmation of disease progression. Of the 392 patients randomized, 51% were male, the median age was 63 years, 40% were 65 years or older, 79% were White, 54% had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0, and 24% had received 1 prior VEGF/VEGFR-targeted therapy. Metastases were present in 99% of the patients: lungs in 89%, lymph nodes in 52%, bone in 39%, liver in 18%, and brain in 4%. The histological diagnoses were papillary thyroid cancer (66%) and follicular thyroid cancer (34%); of those with follicular histology, 44% had Hürthle cell and 11% had clear cell subtypes. In the LENVIMA arm, 67% of patients did not demonstrate iodine uptake on any RAI scan compared to 77% in the placebo arm. Additionally, 59% of patients on the LENVIMA arm and 61% of patients on placebo arm progressed, according to RECIST 1.1, within 12 months of prior I 131 therapy; 19.2% of patients on the LENVIMA arm and 17.6% of patients on placebo arm received prior cumulative activity of >600 mCi or 22 GBq I 131, with the last dose administered at least 6 months prior to study entry. The median cumulative RAI activity administered prior to study entry was 350 mCi (12.95 GBq). A statistically significant prolongation in PFS was demonstrated in LENVIMA-treated patients compared to those receiving placebo (Table 14 and Figure 1). Upon confirmation of progression, 83% of patients that were randomly assigned to placebo crossed over to receive open-label LENVIMA.

Patients were enrolled regardless of PD-L1 tumor expression status. Patients with active autoimmune disease or a medical condition that required immunosuppression were ineligible. Randomization was stratified by geographic region (North America and Western Europe versus “Rest of the World”) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) prognostic groups (favorable, intermediate and poor risk). Patients were randomized (1:1:1) to one of the following treatment arms: LENVIMA 20 mg orally once daily in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks up to 24 months. LENVIMA 18 mg orally once daily in combination with everolimus 5 mg orally once daily. Sunitinib 50 mg orally once daily for 4 weeks then off treatment for 2 weeks. Treatment continued until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Administration of LENVIMA with pembrolizumab was permitted beyond RECIST-defined disease progression if the patient was clinically stable and considered by the investigator to be deriving clinical benefit. Pembrolizumab dosing was continued for a maximum of 24 months; however, treatment with LENVIMA could be continued beyond 24 months. Assessment of tumor status was performed at baseline and then every 8 weeks. The study population characteristics were: median age of 62 years (range: 29 to 88 years); 42% age 65 or older, 75% male; 74% White, 21% Asian, 1% Black, and 2% other races; 18% and 82% of patients had a baseline KPS of 70 to 80 and 90 to 100, respectively; patient distribution by MSKCC risk categories was 27% favorable, 64% intermediate and 9% poor. Common sites of metastases in patients were lung (68%), lymph node (45%), and bone (25%). The major efficacy outcome measures were PFS, as assessed by independent radiologic review (IRC) according to RECIST v1.1, and OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures included confirmed ORR as assessed by IRC. At the protocol-specified interim analysis, LENVIMA in combination with pembrolizumab demonstrated statistically significant improvements in PFS, OS, and ORR compared with sunitinib. An updated OS analysis was conducted when approximately 304 deaths were observed based on the planned number of deaths for the pre-specified final analysis. Table 15 and Figures 2 and 3 summarize the efficacy results for CLEAR.

Figure 3: Kaplan-Meier Curves for Updated Overall Survival in CLEAR Previously T reated RCC in Combination w ith E verolimus (Study 205) The efficacy was evaluated in a multicenter, randomized (1:1:1) study (Study 205: NCT01136733), in which 153 patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma who have previously received anti-angiogenic therapy received LENVIMA 18 mg orally once daily with everolimus 5 mg orally once daily, LENVIMA 24 mg orally once daily, or everolimus 10 mg orally once daily. Patients were required to have histological confirmation of clear cell RCC and ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Patients were stratified by hemoglobin level (≤ or >13 g/dL for males and ≤ or >11.5 g/dL for females) and corrected serum calcium (≥10 mg/dL vs. <10 mg/dL). The major efficacy outcome measure was investigator-assessed PFS evaluated according to RECIST 1.1. Of the 101 patients randomized to the LENVIMA with everolimus arm or everolimus arm, 72% were male, the median age was 60 years, 31% were older than 65 years, and 96% were White. Metastases were present in 95% of the patients and unresectable advanced disease was present in 5%. All patients had a baseline ECOG PS of either 0 (54%) or 1 (46%) with similar distribution across these two treatment arms. MSKCC favorable, intermediate, and poor risk categories were observed respectively, in 24%, 37%, and 39% of patients in the LENVIMA with everolimus arm, and 24%, 38%, and 38% of patients in the everolimus arm. Efficacy results from Study 205 are summarized in Table 16 and Figures 4 and 5. The treatment effect of the combination on PFS was supported by a retrospective independent review of radiographs with an observed hazard ratio (HR) of 0.43 (95% CI: 0.24, 0.75) compared with the everolimus arm.

The study enrolled adults with Child-Pugh A and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage C or B HCC who were ineligible for local liver-directed therapy; had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1; had received no prior systemic therapy for HCC; and had at least one measurable target lesion according to modified RECIST for HCC. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive LENVIMA (12 mg for baseline body weight ≥60 kg or 8 mg for baseline body weight <60 kg) orally once daily or sorafenib 400 mg orally twice daily until radiological disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Randomization was stratified by region (Western vs Asia Pacific), presence of macroscopic portal vein invasion or extrahepatic spread (yes vs no), ECOG PS (0 vs 1), and body weight (<60 kg vs ≥60 kg). The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS). REFLECT was designed to show the non-inferiority of LENVIMA to sorafenib for OS. Additional efficacy outcome measures were progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) according to modified RECIST for HCC. A total of 954 patients were randomized, 478 to the LENVIMA arm and 476 to the sorafenib arm. The demographics of the study population were: median age of 62 years (range: 20 to 88 years); 84% male; 69% Asian and 29% White; 63% ECOG PS of 0; and 69% weighed ≥60 kg. Of the 590 (62%) patients with at least one site of documented distant metastatic disease, 52% had lung metastasis, 45% had lymph node metastasis, and 16% had bone metastasis. Macroscopic portal vein invasion, extra-hepatic spread, or both were present in 70% of patients. HCC was categorized as Child-Pugh A and BCLC Stage C in 79% and Child-Pugh A and BCLC Stage B in 21% of patients. Seventy-five percent (75%) of patients had radiographic evidence of cirrhosis at baseline. Investigator-documented primary risk factors for the development of HCC were hepatitis B (50%), hepatitis C (23%), alcohol use (6%), other (7%), and unknown (14%). REFLECT demonstrated that LENVIMA was non-inferior to sorafenib for OS. REFLECT did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in OS for patients randomized to LENVIMA as compared to those in the sorafenib arm. LENVIMA was statistically significantly superior to sorafenib for PFS and ORR. Efficacy results are summarized in Table 17 and Figure 6.

Figure 6 : Kaplan-Meier Curves for Overall Survival in REFLECT 14.4 Endometrial Carcinoma (EC) The efficacy of LENVIMA in combination with pembrolizumab was investigated in Study 309 (NCT03517449), a multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-controlled trial that enrolled 827 patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma who had been previously treated with at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen in any setting, including in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. Patients with endometrial sarcoma, including carcinosarcoma, or patients who had active autoimmune disease or a medical condition that required immunosuppression were ineligible. Patients with endometrial carcinoma that were pMMR (using the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel test) or not MSI-H were stratified by ECOG performance status, geographic region, and history of pelvic radiation. Patients were randomized (1:1) to one of the following treatment arms: LENVIMA 20 mg orally once daily in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks. Investigator’s choice consisting of either doxorubicin 60 mg/m 2 every 3 weeks, or paclitaxel 80 mg/m 2 given weekly, 3 weeks on/1 week off. Treatment with LENVIMA and pembrolizumab continued until RECIST v1.1-defined progression of disease as verified by BICR, unacceptable toxicity, or for pembrolizumab, a maximum of 24 months. Treatment was permitted beyond RECIST v1.1-defined disease progression if the treating investigator considered the patient to be deriving clinical benefit and the treatment was tolerated. Assessment of tumor status was performed every 8 weeks. The major efficacy outcome measures were OS and PFS as assessed by BICR according to RECIST v1.1, modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. Additional efficacy outcome measures included ORR and DOR, as assessed by BICR. Among the 697 pMMR or not MSI-H patients, 346 patients were randomized to LENVIMA in combination with pembrolizumab, and 351 patients were randomized to investigator’s choice of doxorubicin (n=254) or paclitaxel (n=97). The population characteristics of these patients were: median age of 65 years (range: 30 to 86), 52% age 65 or older; 62% White, 22% Asian, and 3% Black; 60% ECOG PS of 0 and 40% ECOG PS of 1. The histologic subtypes were endometrioid carcinoma (55%), serous (30%), clear cell carcinoma (7%), mixed (4%), and other (3%). All 697 of these patients received prior systemic therapy for endometrial carcinoma: 67% had one, 30% had two, and 3% had three or more prior systemic therapies. Thirty-seven percent of patients received only prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. Efficacy results for these patients are summarized in Table 18 and Figures 7 and 8.

    Geriatric Use

    8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 261 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who received LENVIMA in SELECT, 45% were ≥65 years of age and 11% were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. Of the 352 patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who received LENVIMA with pembrolizumab in CLEAR, 45% were ≥65 years of age and 13% were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these elderly patients and younger patients. Of the 62 patients with RCC who received LENVIMA with everolimus in Study 205, 36% were ≥65 years of age. Conclusions are limited due to the small sample size, but there appeared to be no overall differences in safety or effectiveness between these subjects and younger subjects. Of the 476 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who received LENVIMA in REFLECT, 44% were ≥65 years of age and 12% were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between patients ≥65 and younger subjects. Patients ≥75 years of age showed reduced tolerability to LENVIMA. Of 406 adult patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC) who were treated with LENVIMA in combination with pembrolizumab in Study 309, 201 (50%) were 65 years and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between elderly patients and younger patients.

    Pediatric Use

    8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LENVIMA in pediatric patients have not been established. Juvenile Animal Data Daily oral administration of lenvatinib mesylate to juvenile rats for 8 weeks starting on postnatal day 21 (approximately equal to a human pediatric age of 2 years) resulted in growth retardation (decreased body weight gain, decreased food consumption, and decreases in the width and/or length of the femur and tibia) and secondary delays in physical development and reproductive organ immaturity at doses greater than or equal to 2 mg/kg (approximately 1.2 to 5 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg). Decreased length of the femur and tibia persisted following 4 weeks of recovery. In general, the toxicologic profile of lenvatinib was similar between juvenile and adult rats, though toxicities including broken teeth at all dose levels and mortality at the 10 mg/kg/day dose level (attributed to primary duodenal lesions) occurred at earlier treatment time-points in juvenile rats.

    Pregnancy

    8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, LENVIMA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of lenvatinib during organogenesis at doses below the recommended human doses resulted in embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity, and teratogenicity in rats and rabbits ( see Data ) . There are no available human data informing the drug-associated risk. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryofetal development study, daily oral administration of lenvatinib mesylate at doses ≥0.3 mg/kg [approximately 0.14 times the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg based on body surface area (BSA)] to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in dose-related decreases in mean fetal body weight, delayed fetal ossifications, and dose-related increases in fetal external (parietal edema and tail abnormalities), visceral, and skeletal anomalies. Greater than 80% postimplantation loss was observed at 1.0 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg based on BSA). Daily oral administration of lenvatinib mesylate to pregnant rabbits during organogenesis resulted in fetal external (short tail), visceral (retroesophageal subclavian artery), and skeletal anomalies at doses greater than or equal to 0.03 mg/kg (approximately 0.03 times the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg based on BSA). At the 0.03 mg/kg dose, increased post-implantation loss, including 1 fetal death, was also observed. Lenvatinib was abortifacient in rabbits, resulting in late abortions in approximately one-third of the rabbits treated at a dose level of 0.5 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg based on BSA).

Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women to discontinue breastfeeding during treatment with LENVIMA and for 1 week after the last dose. Data Animal Data Following administration of radiolabeled lenvatinib to lactating Sprague Dawley rats, lenvatinib-related radioactivity was approximately 2 times higher [based on area under the curve (AUC)] in milk compared to maternal plasma. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Based on animal data and its mechanism of action, LENVIMA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating LENVIMA [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )]. Contraception Females Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment with LENVIMA and for 30 days after the last dose. Infertility LENVIMA may impair fertility in males and females of reproductive potential [ see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )]. 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LENVIMA in pediatric patients have not been established. Juvenile Animal Data Daily oral administration of lenvatinib mesylate to juvenile rats for 8 weeks starting on postnatal day 21 (approximately equal to a human pediatric age of 2 years) resulted in growth retardation (decreased body weight gain, decreased food consumption, and decreases in the width and/or length of the femur and tibia) and secondary delays in physical development and reproductive organ immaturity at doses greater than or equal to 2 mg/kg (approximately 1.2 to 5 times the human exposure based on AUC at the recommended clinical dose of 24 mg).

No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between elderly patients and younger patients. 8.6 Renal Impairment No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild (CLcr 60-89 mL/min) or moderate (CLcr 30-59 mL/min) renal impairment. Lenvatinib concentrations may increase in patients with DTC, RCC, or endometrial carcinoma and severe (CLcr 15-29 mL/min) renal impairment. Reduce the dose of lenvatinib for patients with RCC, DTC, or endometrial carcinoma and severe renal impairment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.7 )] . There is no recommended dose of LENVIMA for patients with HCC and severe renal impairment. LENVIMA has not been studied in patients with end stage renal disease [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ) , Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ] . 8.7 Hepatic Impairment No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with HCC and mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). There is no recommended dose for patients with HCC with moderate or severe hepatic impairment. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with DTC, RCC, or endometrial carcinoma and mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A or B). Lenvatinib concentrations may increase in patients with DTC, RCC, or endometrial carcinoma and severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C). Reduce the dose of lenvatinib for patients with DTC, RCC, or endometrial carcinoma and severe hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.7 ) , Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ] .
