6.1 Clinical 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.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypertension : Control blood pressure prior to treatment and monitor during treatment.
Withhold for Grade 3 hypertension despite optimal antihypertensive therapy.
Discontinue for Grade 4 hypertension.
( 2.7 , 5.1 ) Cardiac Dysfunction : Monitor for clinical symptoms or signs of cardiac dysfunction.
