Inclusion Criteria:

* Males or females of 18 years of age or older at the day of consenting to the study;
* I2. Patients with follicular cell-derived thyroid (papillary, vesicular or and poorly differentiated);
* Radioiodine-Refractory disease as defined by at least one of the following :

  * Loss by the tumor tissue of the ability to concentrate RAI after previous evidence of RAI-avid disease,
  * Concentration of RAI in some lesions but not in others,
  * Progression of metastatic disease despite significant concentration of RAI;
* Predominant bone metastases (without threatening extra-bone metastasis)
* Patient at risk of Skeletal-Related Event defined by the occurrence of at least one of the following event within 12 months prior to inclusion:

  * Skeletal-Related Event, including indication of loco regional procedure (i.e. radiation therapy, interventional radiology),
  * Progressive disease with measurable metastatic bone lesion(s) as per the RECIST1.1; Nota Bene: bone lesions with soft tissue involvement are considered as measurable.
* Performance Status of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤2;
* Adequate organ function within 14 days prior to treatment start, defined as the following:

  * Neutrophils count ≥ 1.5 Gi/l
  * Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dl
  * Platelets count ≥ 100 Gi/l
  * Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤ 1.2 x ULN or International Normalized Ratio ≤ 1.5 Nota bene: Subjects receiving anticoagulant therapy are eligible if their INR is stable and within the targeted anticoagulation.
  * Serum transaminases (ASAT and ALAT) ≤ 3.0 x upper limit of the normal (ULN) (5.0 x ULN in case of liver metastases)
  * Serum total bilirubin ≤ 2 x ULN
  * Creatinine clearance ≥ 30ml/min;
  * Absence of proteinuria Nota Bene: patients with proteinuria ≥1+ on dipstick urinalysis will have to undergo 24 hours urine collection. Subjects with urine protein ≥1g/24h will be ineligible;
  * Albumin-adjusted serum calcium ≥ 2.0 mmol/l (8.0mg/dl) and ≤ 2.9 mmol/l (11.5mg/dl)
* Patient and his/her partner using 2 forms of effective contraception:

  * For women of child-bearing potential: at least 4 weeks prior to study entry, during the study participation and for at least 1 month post-lenvatinib and at least 5 months post-denosumab,
  * For men: at least 4 weeks prior to study entry and during the study participation;
* Patient must be covered by a medical insurance;
* Willingness and ability to comply with the study requirements;
* Signed and dated informed consent indicating that the patient has been informed of all the aspects of the trial prior to enrolment.

Non-inclusion Criteria:

* Histological diagnosis of the following DTC subtypes: medullar, anaplastic, lymphoma or sarcoma;
* Prior history of malignancies other than study disease within the last 3 years, except locally curable disease with no sign of relapse;
* Prior or current treatment with denosumab or any other bone-directed agent (including bisphosphonates), regardless of the indication;
* Prior or current treatment with any tyrosine kinase inhibitor, including but not limited to lenvatinib and denosumab ;
* Patient with imminent or confirmed Skeletal-Related Event as defined in the protocol;
* Uncontrolled arterial hypertension (150mmHg/90mmHg) despite an optimal antihypertensive intervention; patients with high blood pressure can be enrolled provided that the hypertension is well controlled at a stable dose of antihypertensive therapy for at least 1 week prior to lenvatinib start;
* Any condition leading to an increased risk of bleeding or hemorrhage;
* Any other contraindication to lenvatinib and/or denosumab
* Major surgery within 3 weeks prior to the first study drug administration or major surgery planned during the course of the study;
* Unhealed lesion from dental or oral surgery;
* Any dental or jaw condition that may lead or already led to osteonecrosis of the jaw or to oral surgery; Nota Bene: a consultation with a specialist must confirm that dental and oral cavity assessment allows starting a treatment with denosumab.
* Any active infection, including known infection with HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C;
* Patient participating to a clinical trial that can interfere with the primary outcome assessment or treatment with any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to the start date of study drugs or planned during the study participation;
* Any organic or psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, might prevent the subject from completing the study or interfere with the interpretation of the study results;
* Pregnant or breast feeding women. Women of childbearing potential\* are required to have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to study treatment start. A positive urine test must be confirmed by a serum pregnancy test

  \*: Female patients who meet at least one of the following criteria are defined as women of non-childbearing potential:
  * ≥50 years old and naturally amenorrheic for ≥ 1 year
  * Permanent premature ovarian failure confirmed by a specialist gynecologist
  * Previous bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy
  * XY genotype, Turner's syndrome, or uterine agenesis Female patients who do not meet at least one of the above criteria are defined as women of childbearing potential.
* Patient with impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of lenvatinib (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection);
* Patient with history or active gastrointestinal or non-gastrointestinal fistula;
* Hypersensitivity or history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition of study drugs ;
* History or active significant cardiovascular impairment : congestive heart failure greater than New York Heart Association class II, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiac arrhythmia associated with impairment within 6 months of the first dose of study drug;
* Clinically significant electrocardiogram abnormality, including marked baseline prolonged QT/QTc interval (e.g., a repeated demonstration of a QTc interval \> 500 msec);
* Clinically significant unrelated systemic illness (e.g., serious infection or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or other organ dysfunction) that would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate study treatment or would likely interfere with study procedures or results.
* Patients using prohibited concomitant and/or concurrent medications.
* Patient requiring tutorship or curatorship.
