🩺 Clinical
Lenvatinib is used to treat a certain type of thyroid cancer that has returned or that has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be treated with radioactive iodine. Lenvatinib is also used along with everolimus (Afinitor, Zortress) to treat renal cell carcinoma (RCC, a type of cancer that begins in the kidney) in people who have previously received treatment with another chemotherapy medication. Lenvatinib is also used along with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) as an initial treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma. Lenvatinib is also used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; a type of l...

⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. 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…

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1Drugs 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 ) ] .
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy 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% post-implantation 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).
8.2Lactation Risk Summary It is not known whether LENVIMA is present in human milk; however, lenvatinib and its metabolites are excreted in rat milk at concentrations higher than those in maternal plasma ( see Data ) . 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.
8.3Females 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 )].
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LENVIMA in pediatric patients have not been established. The safety and efficacy of LENVIMA alone and in combination were investigated but not established in four open label studies (NCT02432274, NCT04154189, NCT04447755, NCT03245151) in 232 patients aged 2 to <17 years with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, including osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and high-grade glioma. Hypothyroidism and pneumothorax were observed at a higher rate in pediatric patients compared to that of adult patients.

8.1Pregnancy 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% post-implantation 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).
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LENVIMA in pediatric patients have not been established. The safety and efficacy of LENVIMA alone and in combination were investigated but not established in four open label studies (NCT02432274, NCT04154189, NCT04447755, NCT03245151) in 232 patients aged 2 to <17 years with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, including osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and high-grade glioma. Hypothyroidism and pneumothorax were observed at a higher rate in pediatric patients compared to that of adult patients.
The pharmacokinetics (PK) of lenvatinib in pediatric patients were within range of values previously observed in adults at the approved recommended dose of 24 mg. 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.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric 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.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Due to the high plasma protein binding, lenvatinib is not expected to be dialyzable [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Death due to multiorgan dysfunction occurred in a patient who received a single dose of LENVIMA 120 mg orally.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism 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 (PDGFRA), 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 2 alpha (FRS2) 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.
12.2Pharmacodynamics 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.

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.
