* Prior treatment with lenvatinib
* Any of the following conditions:
* Active peptic ulcer disease
* Inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) or other gastrointestinal conditions which increase the risk of perforation
* History of new abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess =\< 84 days prior to registration; NOTE: enrollment of patients with chronic/canalized fistulous tracts (present for \> 84 days) is allowed
