LENVATINIB vs PONLIMSI
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Lenvatinib is a kinase inhibitor that inhibits the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) including VEGFR1 (FLT1), VEGFR2 (KDR), VEGFR3 (FLT4), FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, PDGFRα, KIT, and RET. It also inhibits the kinase activities of other RTKs involved in tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth.
Ponlimsi is a small molecule inhibitor of the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family of proteins, specifically BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT. It binds to acetyl-lysine recognition motifs, displacing BET proteins from chromatin, thereby inhibiting transcription of oncogenes such as MYC and BCL2.
24 mg orally once daily for differentiated thyroid carcinoma; 8 mg twice daily or 12 mg once daily in combination with everolimus for renal cell carcinoma; 12 mg once daily in combination with pembrolizumab for advanced endometrial carcinoma.
100 mg IV over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle.
