Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) At Week 16 per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Criteria (for High Grade Glioma [HGG] only), by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Week 16 of treatment ]
    ORR at Week 16 is defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters [SOD] of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD) as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1 at 16 Weeks. For participants with HGG, response is assessed according to RANO criteria whereby overall response is based on both radiographic response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions, PR: sum of products of diameters [SPD] decreased by ≥ 50% from baseline value) and clinical performance status with steroid dose information.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. ORR per RECIST 1.1 or RANO Criteria (for HGG only), by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD) as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1. For participants with HGG, response will be assessed according to RANO criteria whereby overall RANO response is based on both radiographic response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions, PR: SPD decreased by ≥ 50% from baseline value) and clinical performance status with steroid dose information.

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 or RANO (for HGG only), by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the date of the first administration of study drug until the date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD) per RECIST 1.1 or RANO (for HGG) or death (whichever occurs first).

  3. Best Overall Response (BOR) per RECIST 1.1 or RANO (for HGG only), by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
    BOR is defined as the participant's best confirmed response (CR or PR) over the treatment period as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1 or RANO. As per RECIST 1.1, CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions and PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. For participants with HGG, response will be assessed according to RANO criteria whereby overall RANO response is based on both radiographic response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions, PR: SPD decreased by ≥ 50% from baseline value) and clinical performance status with steroid dose information.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR) per RECIST 1.1 or RANO (for HGG only), by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
    DOR defined as the time from the date of the first documented CR or PR to the date first documentation of progressive disease or death (whichever occurs first). As per RECIST 1.1, CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions and PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. For participants with HGG, response will be assessed according to RANO criteria whereby overall RANO response is based on both radiographic response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions, PR: SPD decreased by ≥ 50% from baseline value) and clinical performance status with steroid dose information.

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR) per RECIST 1.1 or RANO (for HGG only), by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
    DCR is defined as a BOR of CR or PR, or stable disease (SD). To be assigned a BOR of SD, the time from the first administration of study drug until the date of documented SD should be ≥7 weeks. As per RECIST 1.1, CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions, PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD, and SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. For participants with HGG, response is assessed according to RANO criteria whereby overall response is based on both radiographic response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions, PR: SPD decreased by ≥ 50% from baseline value and SD: SPD <50% decreased from baseline, but <25% increased from nadir) and clinical performance status with steroid dose information.

  6. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) per RECIST 1.1 or RANO (for HGG only), by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
    CBR is defined as a BOR of CR or PR, or durable SD (Duration of SD should be ≥23 weeks since the first dose of the study treatment. As per RECIST 1.1, CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions, PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD and SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. For participants with HGG, response is assessed according to RANO criteria whereby overall response is based on both radiographic response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions, PR: SPD decreased by ≥ 50% from baseline value and SD: SPD <50% decreased from baseline, but <25% increased from nadir) and clinical performance status with steroid dose information.

  7. Number of Participants who Experience an Adverse Event (AE) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants who experience at least one AE will be reported.

  8. Number of Participants who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 43 months ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported.

  9. Palatability Questionnaire Score For Lenvatinib Suspension Formulation [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 (cycle = 28 days) ]
    A hedonic Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to assess taste likability or "palatability" of a lenvatinib suspension formulated with water. Palatability will be rated based on 5 categories: taste, appearance, smell, mouth feel, and overall acceptability. Participants will score each category on a scale from 1-7 ranging from super bad (score = 1) to super good (score = 7). The VAS hedonic scale scores will be summarized using descriptive statistics for each cohort and the median score will be reported for each palatability category.

  10. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve of lenvatinib From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC 0-inf) [ Time Frame: At designated time points on Cycle 1 Day 1 (post-dose), Cycle 1 Day 15 (pre-dose and post-dose), and Cycle 2 Day 1 (pre-dose and post-dose). A cycle is 28 days. ]
    Blood samples taken predose and at specified times postdose on Days 1-28 to determine the AUC 0-inf of Lenvatinib.
