Cabozantinib As Salvage Therapy for Patients With Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: Results of a Multicenter Phase II International Thyroid Oncology Group Trial.

ABSTRACT: Purpose Sorafenib and lenvatinib are oral multikinase inhibitors targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and approved for radioiodine (RAI)-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, there are no approved second- or third-line therapies. MET is implicated in resistance to VEGFR inhibitors. Cabozantinib is an oral multikinase inhibitor targeting MET in addition to VEGFR and is approved for medullary thyroid cancer. In a phase I study of cabozantinib, five of eight patients with DTC previously treated with a VEGFR-targeted therapy had an objective response to cabozantinib. Patients and Methods Patients with RAI-refractory disease with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) measurable disease and evidence of progression on prior VEGFR-targeted therapy were enrolled in this single-arm phase II study. The cabozantinib starting dose was 60 mg/day orally but could be escalated to 80 mg if the patient did not experience a response. Patients underwent tumor assessment according to RECIST v1.1 every 8 weeks. In this study, if at least five of 25 response-evaluable patients had an objective response, cabozantinib would be considered a promising agent in this patient population. Results Twenty-five patients were enrolled. The median age was 64 years, and 64% of patients were men. Twenty-one patients had received only one prior VEGFR-targeted therapy (sorafenib, pazopanib, or cediranib), and four patients had received two such therapies. The most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue, weight loss, diarrhea, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, and hypertension. One drug-related death was noted. Of the 25 patients, 10 (40%) had a partial response, 13 (52%) had stable disease, and two (8%) had nonevaluable disease. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 12.7 months and 34.7 months, respectively. Conclusion Cabozantinib demonstrated clinically significant, durable objective response activity in patients with RAI-refractory DTC who experienced disease progression while taking prior VEGFR-targeted therapy.

Project description:BackgroundAt an interim analysis (median follow-up, 6.2 months; n = 187), the phase 3 COSMIC-311 trial met the primary end point of progression-free survival (PFS): cabozantinib improved PFS versus a placebo (median, not reached vs. 1.9 months; p < .0001) in patients with previously treated radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC). The results from an exploratory analysis using an extended datacut are presented.MethodsPatients 16 years old or older with RAIR-DTC who progressed on prior lenvatinib and/or sorafenib were randomized 2:1 to oral cabozantinib tablets (60 mg/day) or a placebo. Placebo patients could cross over to open-label cabozantinib upon radiographic disease progression. The objective response rate (ORR) in the first 100 randomized patients and the PFS in the intent-to-treat population, both according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 by blinded, independent review, were the primary end points.ResultsAt the data cutoff (February 8, 2021), 258 patients had been randomized (cabozantinib, n = 170; placebo, n = 88); the median follow-up was 10.1 months. The median PFS was 11.0 months (96% confidence interval [CI], 7.4-13.8 months) for cabozantinib and 1.9 months (96% CI, 1.9-3.7 months) for the placebo (hazard ratio, 0.22; 96% CI, 0.15-0.32; p < .0001). The ORR was 11.0% (95% CI, 6.9%-16.9%) versus 0% (95% CI, 0.0%-4.1%) (p = .0003) with one complete response with cabozantinib. Forty placebo patients crossed over to open-label cabozantinib. Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 62% and 28% of the cabozantinib- and placebo-treated patients, respectively; the most common were hypertension (12% vs. 2%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (10% vs. 0%), and fatigue (9% vs. 0%). There were no grade 5 treatment-related events.ConclusionsAt extended follow-up, cabozantinib maintained superior efficacy over a placebo in patients with previously treated RAIR-DTC with no new safety signals.

Project description:Background and objectiveIn the USA, cabozantinib was approved for the treatment of patients aged ≥ 12 years with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who progressed on prior vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR)-targeted therapy based on the Phase 3 COSMIC-311 trial, which evaluated cabozantinib 60 mg/day versus placebo. Approved dosing is 60 mg/day for adults and for pediatric patients aged ≥ 12 years with body surface area (BSA) ≥ 1.2 m2, and 40 mg/day for pediatric patients aged ≥ 12 years with BSA < 1.2 m2. This report describes a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) and exposure-response analysis of COSMIC-311.MethodsA PopPK model was developed using concentration-time data from COSMIC-311 and 6 other cabozantinib studies. The final (full) PopPK model was used to simulate the effect of sex, body weight, race, and patient population. For exposure-response analysis, derived datasets from COSMIC-311 were constructed for time-to-event analyses of progression-free survival (PFS) and safety endpoints.ResultsThe PopPK analysis included 4746 cabozantinib PK samples from 1745 patients and healthy volunteers. Body weight had minimal impact on cabozantinib exposure but increasing body weight was associated with increased apparent volume of distribution. Based on model-based simulation, adolescents < 40 kg had higher maximum plasma concentration at steady state of cabozantinib 60 mg/day compared to adults. Allometric scaling simulation in adolescents < 40 kg demonstrated higher exposure with 60 mg/day relative to adults receiving the same dose, while exposure with 40 mg/day in adolescents < 40 kg was similar to 60 mg/day in adults. The exposure-response analysis included 115 patients. There was no clear relationship between PFS or dose modification and cabozantinib exposure. A statistically significant relationship was demonstrated for cabozantinib exposure and hypertension (Grade ≥ 3) and fatigue/asthenia (Grade ≥ 3).ConclusionsThese results support the dosing strategy implemented in COSMIC-311 and the BSA-based label recommendations for adolescents. The cabozantinib dose should be reduced to manage adverse events as indicated.
