Overview

Generic Name(s):
cabozantinib
Trade Name(s):
Cometriq
NCI Definition [1]:
An orally bioavailable, small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Cabozantinib strongly binds to and inhibits several RTKs, which are often overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types, including hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET), RET (rearranged during transfection), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor types 1 (VEGFR-1), 2 (VEGFR-2), and 3 (VEGFR-3), mast/stem cell growth factor (KIT), FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT-3), TIE-2 (TEK tyrosine kinase, endothelial), tropomyosin-related kinase B (TRKB) and AXL. This may result in an inhibition of both tumor growth and angiogenesis, and eventually lead to tumor regression.

Biomarker-Directed Therapies

Cabozantinib has been investigated in 91 clinical trials, of which 80 are open and 11 are closed. Of the trials investigating cabozantinib, 16 are phase 1 (15 open), 10 are phase 1/phase 2 (8 open), 52 are phase 2 (44 open), 12 are phase 3 (12 open), and 1 is phase 4 (1 open).

MET Amplification, ER Negative, and ER No Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for cabozantinib clinical trials.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in cabozantinib clinical trials [2].
