Overview

Generic Name(s):
lenvatinib
Trade Name(s):
Lenvima
NCI Definition [1]:
A synthetic, orally available inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2, also known as KDR/FLK-1) tyrosine kinase with potential antineoplastic activity. Lenvatinib blocks VEGFR2 activation by VEGF, resulting in inhibition of the VEGF receptor signal transduction pathway, decreased vascular endothelial cell migration and proliferation, and vascular endothelial cell apoptosis.

Biomarker-Directed Therapies

Lenvatinib has been investigated in 74 clinical trials, of which 71 are open and 3 are closed. Of the trials investigating lenvatinib, 8 are phase 1 (8 open), 10 are phase 1/phase 2 (10 open), 38 are phase 2 (35 open), 16 are phase 3 (16 open), and 2 are no phase specified (2 open).

EGFR A763_Y764insFQEA, EGFR Exon 19 Deletion, and EGFR Exon 19 Insertion are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for lenvatinib clinical trials.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and melanoma are the most common diseases being investigated in lenvatinib clinical trials [2].
