Clinical Trials: Lenvatinib Efficacy in Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumours
Lenvatinib (LENVIMA) in Neuroendocrine Cancer — Updated January 2026 What is Lenvatinib? Lenvatinib is a targeted therapy known as a multikinase inhibitor. The brand name is LENVIMA. These drugs work by inhibiting multiple intracellular and cell‑surface kinases involved in tumour growth, angiogenesis, and metastatic progression. Targets include: VEGFR PDGFR FGFR c‑KIT Flt3 Because tumour progression typically involves multiple signalling pathways rather than a single driver, multikinase inhibition is a logical therapeutic strategy. How does it compare with other targeted therapies used in NETs? Sunitinib (Sutent) – a multikinase inhibitor targeting VEGF pathways; approved for pancreatic NETs. Everolimus (Afinitor) – an…
