Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How is lenvatinib indicated for use?

"Lenvatinib can be an effective treatment for various cancers, such as malignant neoplasms and unresectable melanoma. Additionally, it is sometimes used to treat patients with microsatellite instability high."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA given lenvatinib their stamp of approval?

"While there is some data supporting lenvatinib's safety, it is still in Phase 2 clinical trials and has not yet been proven effective."

Answered by AI

Does lenvatinib have a history of being studied in other medical trials?

"There are 1076 ongoing clinical trials researching lenvatinib. Of these, 134 have reached Phase 3. The majority of these studies taking place in Sacramento, California; however, there are 37371 locations running trials for this medication globally."

Answered by AI

Is this study taking place at a high number of locations within the US?

"More than a handful of locations are running this clinical trial; 10 in total. To name a few, there is Sunnybrook Research Institute (Site 0654) in Toronto, Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center (0316) in Lincoln and McGill University Health Centre (0651) in Montreal."

Answered by AI

Are there any patients who have not yet been enrolled in this research?

"No, this particular clinical trial is not currently looking for new patients. The study was initially posted on 1/30/2019, with the most recent edit taking place on 7/21/2022.
