Pharmacodynamics
Lenvanix 4mg or 10mg capsules are receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors as they block the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors. It also inhibits other growth factors that are responsible for angiogenesis and tumor growth. As a result, it stops the formation of blood vessels that are important for the cancer cells. Therefore Lenvanix stops the progression of the cancer to the other parts of the body.
