Section 4.4:

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ)

Cases of ONJ have been reported in patients treated with lenvatinib. Some cases were reported in patients who had received prior or concomitant treatment with antiresorptive bone therapy, and/or other angiogenesis inhibitors, e.g. bevacizumab, TKI, mTOR inhibitors. Caution should therefore be exercised when lenvatinib is used either simultaneously or sequentially with antiresorptive therapy and/or other angiogenesis inhibitors.

Invasive dental procedures are an identified risk factor. Prior to treatment with lenvatinib, a dental examination and appropriate preventive dentistry should be considered. In patients who have previously received or are receiving intravenous bisphosphonates, invasive dental procedures should be avoided if possible (see section 4.8).

Free text change information supplied by the pharmaceutical company

In section 4.5 (Interactions with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction), the potential for an interaction with CY3A4/Pgp substrates has been removed following a clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) study in cancer patients which showed that plasma concentrations of midazolam (a sensitive CYP3A and Pgp substrate) were not altered in the presence of lenvatinib. No significant drug-drug interaction is therefore expected between lenvatinib and other CYP3A4/Pgp substrates.

Section 4.4 has been updated to include special warnings/precautions on non-gastrointestinal fistula and diarrhoea.

 

In addition, hypertension, haemorrhage, QT interval prolongation and Impairment of thyroid stimulating hormone suppression/Thyroid dysfunction subheading have been updated with new information.

 

Following wording regarding hypertension has been removed from the SmPC: “For patients with hypertension and proteinuria, treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin-II receptor antagonist is preferred.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Section 4.8

 

“Arterial thromboembolism (3.9%)” has been added to the most important serious adverse reactions.

 

New adverse reaction frequency has been added to the SmPC as “Not known (cannot be estimated from available data)”.

 

The table of adverse reactions has been updated to include      “Non-Gastrointestinal fistulak ” as a general disorder and administration site AE under “Not known” frequency.

k:  Non-gastrointestinal fistula includes cases of fistula occurring outside of the stomach and intestines such as tracheal, tracheo-oesophageal, oesophageal, female genital tract fistula, and cutaneous fistula.

New adverse reaction descriptions have been added for:

·        Gastrointestinal perforation and fistula formation

·        Non-Gastrointestinal fistulae

·        QT interval prolongation

·        Diarrhoea

 

 

 

 

 

Description of following adverse reactions have been updated:

Section 5.2

Change of wording from severe hepatic impairment to severe renal impairment (see below):

 

Lenvatinib exposure, based on AUC0-inf data, was 101%, 90%, and 122% of normal for subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, respectively.  It is unknown whether there is a change in the plasma protein binding in renally impaired subjects.  See section 4.2 for dosing recommendation.
