WHAT KISPLYX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT KISPLYX IS
Kisplyx is a medicine that contains the active substance lenvatinib.
It is used in combination with
pembrolizumab as the first treatment for adults with advanced kidney
cancer (advanced renal cell
carcinoma). It is also used in combination with everolimus to treat
adults with advanced kidney cancer
where other treatments (so-called “VEGF-targeted therapy”) have
not helped stop the disease.
HOW KISPLYX WORKS
Kisplyx blocks the action of proteins called receptor tyrosine kinases
(RTKs), which are involved in
the development of new blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients
to cells and help them to grow.
These proteins can be present in high amounts in cancer cells, and by
blocking their action Kisplyx
may slow the rate at which the cancer cells multiply and the tumour
grows and help to cut off the
blood supply that the cancer needs.
