Matthew H. Taylor, MD, Oregon Health and Science University, discusses the toxicities and impact of lenvatinib in the SELECT trial, which treated patients with 131I-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer.

Patients tolerated lenvatinib very well, says Taylor. They were able to stay on an average higher dose than those previously treated with a multikinase inhibitor, as well as those naive to treatment.

Taylor says that if patients have already undergone therapy with an anti-VEGF treatment, other than lenvatinib, and they have not responded or tolerated that treatment, then it is very reasonable for these patients to receive lenvatinib and respond well to it.
