Pharmacology
Lenvatinib is a multi-kinase inhibitor that inhibits VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3 kinase activities as well as FGFR1-4, PDGFRA, KIT, and RET, suppressing pathogenic angiogenesis and tumor growth; in combination with pembrolizumab or everolimus, it demonstrates enhanced antiangiogenic and antitumor activity.
Regorafenib is a small molecule inhibitor of multiple membrane-bound and intracellular kinases involved in oncogenesis, tumor angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor immunity, including VEGFR1-3, KIT, PDGFR-alpha/beta, FGFR1/2, RAF-1, BRAF, and CSF1R.
