Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Systemic Therapy and Sequencing Options in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 12, 2021 Network meta-analysis showed the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab was superior in patients with HCC treated in the first-line setting compared with lenvatinib (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.44-0.89), sorafenib (HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.42-0.80), and nivolumab (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.48-0.98)...Regorafenib and cabozantinib are preferred options in refractory patients, with ramucirumab as an additional option in those with levels of AFP of 400 ng/mL or higher. Future trials should focus on other potential combinations and best treatment strategy in patients with prior VEGFi/CPI exposure.

report the incidence of treatment-related hypertension in patients treated with lenvatinib, a newer TKI, for non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma...These findings contribute to a better understanding of TKI-associated hypertension and help in choosing the most appropriate antihypertensive agents in this setting. Active control of hypertension may help more patients benefit from longer TKI therapy, possibly resulting in better cancer outcomes.

Journal: Changes in blood pressure during treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor lenvatinib. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 11, 2021 Furthermore, patients with fluid retention had significantly higher BP or required more intensive BP treatment compared with those without fluid retention. Lenvatinib might lead to HT without fluid retention soon after the initiation of treatment, subsequently leading to a reduction in urinary sodium excretion, thereby contributing to a rise in BP by fluid retention.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Sequencing of systemic treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma: Second line competitors. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 9, 2021 Other TKIs for second line treatment include cabozantinib and ramucirumab (specifically for patients with Alpha-fetoprotein values ≥ 400 ng/mL). The combination of TKIs with immunotherapy may represent a big step forward for these patients in the near future.

Journal, HEOR: Lenvatinib versus sorafenib for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: a cost-effectiveness analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 9, 2021 Lenvatinib treatment resulted in 2.916 QALYs for patients weighing <60 and ≥60 kg at a cost of $57,049.43 and $75,900.36, The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio to the sorafenib treatment group was $11,825.94/QALY and $28,627.12/QALY, respectively. According to WHO's triple GDP per capita, the use of lenvatinib by providing drugs is a cost-effective strategy.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Clinical use of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitors for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 5, 2021 Six small molecules that inhibit VEGFR1/2/3, namely, sunitinib, sorafenib, axitinib, pazopanib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib, have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of RCC...To some extent, these drugs improve quality of life and prolong the survival of patients. This paper presents a review of the systemic targeted therapies against VEGFRs that have been approved so far or are undergoing trials as treatments for RCC.

The results of our study provide insights to design more potent and selective RET kinase inhibitors.

Journal: Passive Diffusion vs Active pH-Dependent Encapsulation of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Vandetanib and Lenvatinib into Folate-Targeted Ferritin Delivery System. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 30, 2021 Importantly, the long-term cytotoxic experiments revealed that compared to the pH-dependent encapsulation, the passively-loaded TKIs exert markedly higher anticancer activity, most likely due to undesired influence of harsh acidic environment used for the pH-dependent encapsulation on the TKIs' structural and functional properties. Since the passive loading does not require a reassembly step for which acids are needed, the presented investigation serves as a solid basis for future studies focused on encapsulation of small hydrophobic molecules.
