• One or more evaluable or measurable lesions that do not demonstrate iodine uptake on any radioiodine scan; or
• One or more evaluable or measurable lesions that have progressed based on RECIST 1.1, within 12 months of 131 iodine therapy, despite demonstration of radioiodine avidity at the time of that treatment by pre- or post-treatment scanning. These participants must not be eligible for possible curative surgery; or

• Adequate renal function as evidenced by: a) Serum creatinine based on age/gender as below. If serum creatinine is greater than maximum serum creatinine for age/gender as shown in the table below, then creatinine clearance (or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate [GFR]) must be greater than 70 milliliter/minute/1.73 square meter (mL/min/1.73 m2). Maximum Serum Creatinine in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) for male: i. Age 2 to less than 6 years = 0.8 ii. Age 6 to less than 10 years = 1.0 iii. Age 10 to less than 13 years = 1.2 iv. Age 13 to less than 16 years = 1.5 v. Age greater than or equal to 16 years = 1.7 Maximum Serum Creatinine (mg/dL) for Female: vi. Age 2 to less than 6 years = 0.8 vii. Age 6 to less than 10 years = 1.0 viii. Age 10 to less than 13 years = 1.2 ix. Age 13 to less than 16 years = 1.4 x. Age greater than or equal to 16 years = 1.4 The threshold creatinine values in this Table were derived from the Schwartz formula for estimating glomerular filtration rate using child length and stature data published by the CDC. b) Urine dipstick less than 2+ for proteinuria. Participants who have greater than or equal to 2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis should undergo a spot protein-creatinine (P/C) ratio that should be Grade less than 2. c) No clinical evidence of nephrotic syndrome.

Participants must have recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior anticancer therapy before enrollment into the study.
• Written and signed informed consent from the parent(s) or legal representative (guardian) and assent from the minor participant. Written informed consent from subjects ≥18 years.

• Known hypersensitivity to any component of the product (lenvatinib or ingredients).
• Concurrent administration of any other antitumor therapy.
