Exelixis announced today that the US FDA has approved cabozantinib (cabozantinib, English trade name Cabometyx) for extended indications for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) adults and children over 12 years of age
.
These patients progressed after receiving VEGFR-targeted therapy, and were not suitable for radioiodine therapy or developed resistance to it
For this indication, Cabometyx has obtained breakthrough therapy designation and priority review qualifications, and the approval time was more than two months earlier than the target PDUFA day (December 4)
.
Cabozantinib is an oral small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that can inhibit the activities of c-Met, VEGFR2, and AXL and RET
.
This approval is based on the positive results obtained from the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial COSMIC-311
.
At a median follow-up of 10.
Cancerous thyroid tumors include differentiated, medullary, and undifferentiated types.
Differentiated thyroid tumors account for about 90% of cases, including papillary, follicular, and Hürthle cell carcinomas
.
The standard treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer is surgery first, followed by ablation of the remaining thyroid tissue with radioactive iodine, but about 5% to 15% of patients show resistance to radioactive iodine therapy
