- Number of Participants With Hepatotoxicity Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) With Lenvatinib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]
- Number of Participants With SAEs With Lenvatinib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]
- Number of Participants With Grade 3 to 5 AEs With Lenvatinib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]AEs are defined as undesirable events not present prior to medical treatment, or an already present event that worsens either in intensity or frequency following the treatment with lenvatinib. AEs will be graded using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Here Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activity of daily living, Grade 4: life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated and Grade 5: death related to AEs.
- Number of Participants with one or More TEAEs Leading to Dose Modifications and Treatment Discontinuations of Lenvatinib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]Number of participants with one or more TEAEs Leading to Dose Modifications and Treatment Discontinuations of Lenvatinib will be collected at the discretion of the treating physician and in accordance with the prescribing information.
- Duration of Lenvatinib and Sorafenib Treatment [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]
- Number of Participants With Dose Interruption and Dose Reduction for Lenvatinib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]
- Relative Dose Intensity of Lenvatinib and Sorafenib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]Relative Dose Intensity is defined as the amount of drug administered divided by the total dose specified by the corresponding standard regimen.
- Overall Survival (OS) For Lenvatinib and Sorafenib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]OS is defined as the time from the start of lenvatinib and sorafenib treatment to date of death from any cause.
- Number of Participants With Dose Interruption and Dose Reduction for Sorafenib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]
- Number of Participants With Hepatotoxicity TEAEs With Sorafenib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]
- Number of Participants With SAEs With Sorafenib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]
- Number of Participants With Grade 3 to 5 AEs With Sorafenib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]AEs are defined as undesirable events not present prior to medical treatment, or an already present event that worsens either in intensity or frequency following the treatment with sorafenib. AEs will be graded using NCI CTCAE. Here Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activity of daily living, Grade 4: life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated and Grade 5: death related to AEs.
- Number of Participants with one or More TEAEs Leading to Dose Modifications and Treatment Discontinuations of Sorafenib [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ]Number of participants with one or more TEAEs Leading to Dose Modifications and Treatment Discontinuations of Sorafenib will be collected at the discretion of the treating physician and in accordance with the prescribing information.
