  • Human immunodeficiency virus (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies)
  • Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody \[anti-HBc\] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible.
  • Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as well as male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to use effective contraception from the time of screening until 5 months following the final dose of lenvatinib.
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to the investigational drug or any of its components.
