Aim: Lenvatinib (LEN)—an oral multikinase inhibitor of VEGFR1–3, FGFR1–4, PDGFRα, RET, and KIT—significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) vs placebo (PBO) in patients ( pts) with 131I-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer in the phase 3 SELECT study. This analysis investigated potential LEN efficacy biomarkers from SELECT. Methods: Blood samples were collected at baseline, Cycle 1/Day 15 (C1D15), Day 1 of subsequent cycles, and at treatment end. Circulating cytokine/angiogenic factors (CAFs) were measured by ELISA. Tumor tissues were analyzed for mutations of BRAF, NRAS, KRAS and HRAS (Ion Torrent PGM® Sequencer). For prognostic (disease) and predictive (response) biomarker analyses (P for interaction) of baseline CAFs, pts were dichotomized: low (1st quartile) vs high (others). Results: CAF and tissue samples were analyzed from 387 (99%) and 183 (47%) of all randomized pts (N = 392), respectively. PFS hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI were similar between these groups and the overall study; LEN PFS benefit was maintained in all assessments. Low baseline angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) was significantly associated with tumor shrinkage in LEN (P = 0.017), but not PBO. PFS HR of LEN to PBO for low Ang2 (0.08, 95% CI 0.04–0.17; P < 0.001) was lower than high Ang2 (0.24, 95% CI 0.18–0.33; P < 0.001); low Ang2 was a positive predictive factor for LEN PFS (P = 0.018). High baseline thyroglobulin (Tg) was a negative prognostic factor for PFS (P = 0.023); PFS HR of LEN to PBO for high Tg (0.14, 95% CI 0.10–0.21; P < 0.001) was lower than low Tg (0.32, 95% CI 0.18–0.58; P < 0.001). With LEN, Tg rapidly decreased by C1D15; a large change correlated to better objective response (C1D15 and later). In mutation analyses, no significant differences in clinical outcomes were observed; BRAFMU was an independent positive prognostic factor for PFS in papillary thyroid cancer (P = 0.019). BRAFMU and NRASMU have significantly low and high baseline Tg, respectively, compared with wild type. Conclusions: LEN PFS benefit vs PBO was maintained regardless of baseline CAF or BRAF/RAS mutational status. Baseline Ang2 was predictive of tumor shrinkage and PFS in a subset of patients (lowest quartile, 0-25%) with LEN, indicating that Ang2 may play a predictive role in defining sensitivity to LEN. Additionally, BRAFMU may be a positive prognostic factor in RR-DTC.
