Preclinical, Review, Journal: Lenvatinib for hepatocellular carcinoma: From preclinical mechanisms to anti-cancer therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2020 Positive outcomes have been achieved in the combination of lenvatinib plus ICIs, bringing broader prospects for HCC. This review presents an overview on the therapeutic mechanisms and clinical efficacy of lenvatinib in HCC, and we discuss the future perspectives of lenvatinib in HCC management with focus on biomarker-guided precision medicine.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Anti-Tumor Activity and Safety of Multikinase Inhibitors in Advanced and/or Metastatic Thyroid Cancer: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 24, 2020 We identified three therapies for RR-WDTC: sorafenib [disease control rate (DCR) odds ratio (OR): 0.11 (95% CI: 0.03-0.40); progression-free survival (PFS) hazard ratio (HR): 1.99 (95% CI: 1.62-2.46)], vandetanib [DCR_OR:0.26 (95% CI: 0.06-1.24); PFS_HR: 0.99 (95% CI: 0.82-1.20)] and lenvatinib [DCR_OR: 0.26 (95% CI: 0.05-1.33); PFS_HR: 0.99 (95% CI: 0.81-1.22)]; and the following therapies for MTC: vandetanib 300 mg [objective response rate (ORR)_OR: 3.31 (95% CI: 0.68-16.22); vandetanib 150 mg ORR_OR: 0.60 (95% CI: 0.16-2.33)]; and cabozantinib [ORR_OR: 85.32 (95% CI: 5.22-1395.15)]...This network meta-analysis on advanced and/or metastatic TC points towards a higher efficacy of lenvatinib in RR-WDTC. The included MKIs exhibit a varying SE profile across different organs/systems favoring a patient-tailored approach with the anticipated toxicities guiding clinicians' decisions.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Journal: Unusual metastases from differentiated thyroid cancers: A multicenter study in Korea. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 24, 2020 Unusual metastases from differentiated thyroid cancer are thought to be underestimated due to disease rarity and their metachronous nature with other distant metastases. The most of unusual metastases in differentiated thyroid cancer patients are existed with usual distant metastasis and clinical outcomes of those could not be significantly different from the prognosis of usual distant metastasis.

Journal, HEOR: Sequencing Systemic Therapy Pathways for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Cost Effectiveness Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 23, 2020 However, in recent years, 6 new treatments have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA): regorafenib, lenvatinib, cabozantinib, pembrolizumab, ramucirumab, and nivolumab...The pathway with the lowest CER was sorafenib, followed by pembrolizumab (USD 227,741.03/quality-adjusted life year [QALY])...All pathways exceeded a commonly accepted WTP of USD 100-150,000/QALY. Our preliminary results warrant further studies to best inform real-world practices.

Review, Journal: Recent progress in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 15, 2020 With some potential anti-HCC drugs being reported, many promising therapeutic targets in related taxonomic signaling pathways including cell cycle, epigenetics, tyrosine kinase and so on that affect the progression of HCC have also been found. Together, the rational application of existing therapies and drugs as well as the new strategies will bring a bright future for the global cure of HCC in the coming decades.

[VIRTUAL] REAL-WORLD SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY DATA FOR LENVATINIB USE IN UNRESECTABLE HEPATOCELLULAR CANCER () - Oct 11, 2020 - Abstract #AASLD2020AASLD_1167; Lenvatinib was used as first-line systemic therapy in 80% and second-line therapy in 20% (all had previously received sorafenib and were intolerant [n=7] or developed disease progression [n=3]). The safety profile of lenvatinib in patients with unresectable HCC was similar to those seen in initial clinical trials, however, hypothyroidism occurred more frequently (39%) in this real-world cohort.
