1. What Lentulil is and what it is used for

Lentulil is a medicine containing an active substance called lenvatinib. It is used as a single agent in the treatment of adult patients with progressive or advanced thyroid cancer in whom radioactive iodine therapy has failed to halt disease progression.
Lentulil may also be used alone in the treatment of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in adult patients who have not previously been treated with systemic anticancer therapy. Lentulil is administered to patients in whom liver cancer has spread or cannot be surgically removed.
Lentulil may also be used in combination with another anticancer medicine called pembrolizumab in the treatment of advanced endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) in adult patients whose cancer has spread after prior systemic anticancer therapy and cannot be removed surgically or with radiotherapy.
Lentulil is also used in combination with pembrolizumab as first-line treatment in adult patients with advanced renal cell cancer (advanced kidney cancer). It is also used in combination with everolimus in the treatment of adult patients with advanced renal cell cancer in whom prior therapy (known as "anti-VEGF targeted therapy") has failed to halt disease progression.

How Lentulil works
Lentulil blocks the activity of proteins known as tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs), which are involved in the development of new blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to cells and support their growth. These proteins may be present in high amounts in tumor cells. By inhibiting their activity, Lentulil may slow down the rate of tumor cell division and tumor growth, and help cut off the blood supply required by tumor tissues.

2. Important information before taking Lentulil

When not to take Lentulil:

  • If the patient is allergic to lenvatinib or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If the patient is breastfeeding (see section below on pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility).

Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Lentulil, consult a doctor if the patient:

  • has high blood pressure;
  • is a woman of childbearing potential (see section below on pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility);
  • has a history of heart disease or stroke;
  • has liver or kidney disease;
  • recently underwent surgery or radiotherapy;
  • needs to undergo surgery. The doctor may consider interrupting treatment with Lentulil if the patient is scheduled for major surgery, as Lentulil may affect wound healing. Treatment with Lentulil can be resumed once adequate wound healing has been established;
  • is over 75 years of age;
  • belongs to an ethnic group other than White or Asian;
  • has body weight less than 60 kg;
  • has previously had abnormal connections (fistulas) between different organs or between organs and the skin;
  • has or has had an aneurysm (a bulge and weakening of a blood vessel wall) or arterial dissection (tear in the blood vessel wall);
  • experiences or has experienced pain in the mouth, tooth or jaw pain, swelling or ulceration inside the mouth, numbness or heaviness in the jaw, or has or has had loose teeth. The doctor may recommend a dental examination before starting treatment with Lentulil, as cases of jaw bone damage (osteonecrosis) have been reported in patients treated with Lentulil. If the patient requires an invasive dental procedure or dental surgery, the dentist should be informed that the patient is taking Lentulil, especially if the patient is also receiving or has received intravenous bisphosphonates (medicines used to treat bone diseases or to prevent bone complications);
  • is currently or has previously received certain medicines used to treat osteoporosis (bone resorption inhibitors) or anticancer medicines that regulate blood vessel formation (so-called angiogenesis inhibitors), as this may increase the risk of jaw bone damage. Before taking Lentulil, the doctor may perform certain blood tests, for example to check blood pressure, liver or kidney function, or to determine whether the patient has low salt levels or high levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood. The doctor will discuss the test results with the patient and decide whether Lentulil can be administered. Additional treatment with other medicines, dose reduction of Lentulil, or special precautions due to increased risk of adverse reactions may be necessary.

If the patient has any doubts, they should consult a doctor before taking Lentulil.
Conditions requiring attention
During cancer treatment, tumor cell breakdown may cause substances to leak into the bloodstream, potentially leading to complications known as tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). Tumor lysis syndrome may cause kidney changes and can be life-threatening. The doctor will monitor the patient and may initiate treatment to reduce the risk. Immediately inform the doctor if the patient experiences signs of tumor lysis syndrome (see section 4: Possible side effects).
Children and adolescents
Lentulil is not currently recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Lentulil with other medicines
Tell the doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking or has recently taken, as well as any medicines the patient plans to take. This includes herbal preparations and over-the-counter medicines.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, suspects she may be pregnant, or is planning to have a baby, she should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

  • Patients must use an effective method of contraception during treatment and for at least 1 month after treatment ends. It is not known whether Lentulil may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. If oral contraception is the standard method, mechanical contraceptive methods such as a diaphragm or condom should be used during sexual intercourse while taking Lentulil.
  • Do not take Lentulil if the patient plans to become pregnant during treatment. This is important because the medicine may severely harm the unborn child.
  • If a patient becomes pregnant during treatment with Lentulil, she must inform the doctor immediately. The doctor will help decide whether to continue treatment.
  • A patient taking Lentulil must not breastfeed. This is important because the medicine passes into human milk and may severely harm the breastfed infant.

Driving and operating machinery
Lentulil may cause side effects that could affect the ability to drive or operate machinery. Patients should avoid driving and operating machinery if they experience dizziness or feel tired.
Lentulil contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per hard capsule, meaning the medicine is considered "sodium-free".

3. How to take Lentulil

This medicine should always be taken according to your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions. If you are unsure, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist.

What dose should be taken

Thyroid cancer

  • The recommended dose of Lentulil is usually 24 mg once daily (two 10 mg capsules and one 4 mg capsule).
  • If the patient has severe liver or kidney disease, the recommended dose is 14 mg once daily (one 10 mg capsule and one 4 mg capsule).
  • If the patient experiences symptoms related to adverse effects, the doctor may reduce the dose of the medicine.

Liver cancer

  • The recommended dose of Lentulil depends on the patient’s body weight at the start of treatment. The dose is usually 12 mg once daily (three 4 mg capsules) for patients weighing 60 kg or more, and 8 mg once daily (two 4 mg capsules) for patients weighing less than 60 kg.
