Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Ponatinib is a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits BCR-ABL, including T315I mutant form, and also inhibits VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, EPH receptors, and SRC family kinases.
Lenvatinib is a multikinase inhibitor that targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3), fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4), platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα), KIT, and RET. It inhibits angiogenesis, tumor growth, and progression by blocking these receptor tyrosine kinases.
45 mg orally once daily with or without food.
24 mg orally once daily for differentiated thyroid carcinoma; 18 mg orally once daily plus everolimus 5 mg orally once daily for renal cell carcinoma; 12 mg orally once daily plus pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for endometrial carcinoma; 8 mg orally once daily (or 10 mg for patients with body weight ≥60 kg) plus pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 7.5 hours in healthy subjects, supporting twice-daily dosing.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 28 hours, supporting once-daily dosing.
Primarily fecal (91%) as unchanged drug and metabolites; renal elimination accounts for less than 4% of the dose.
Approximately 71% of the dose is excreted in feces (34% as unchanged drug) and 25% in urine (0.4% as unchanged).
