Pharmacology
In vitro biochemical and/or cellular assays have shown that Cabozantinib inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of MET, VEGFR-1, -2 and -3, AXL, RET, ROS1, TYRO3, MER, KIT, TRKB, FLT-3, and TIE-2. These receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in both normal cellular function and pathologic processes such as oncogenesis, metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, drug resistance, and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment.
Absorption: Median time to peak cabozantinib concentrations (Tmax) ranged from 3 to 4 hours post-dose. A 19% increase in the Cmax of Cabozantinib compared to a Cabozantinib capsule formulation was observed following a single 140 mg dose. A less than 10% difference in the AUC was observed between Cabozantinib and a Cabozantinib capsule formulation.
Distribution: The oral volume of distribution (Vz/F) of Cabozantinib is approximately 319 L. Cabozantinib is highly protein-bound in human plasma (≥99.7%).
Elimination: The predicted terminal half-life is approximately 99 hours and the clearance (CL/F) at steady state is estimated to be 2.2 L/hr.
Metabolism: Cabozantinib is a substrate of CYP3A4 in vitro.
Excretion: Approximately 81% of the total administered radioactivity was recovered within a 48-day collection period following a single dose of radiolabeled 14 C- Cabozantinib in healthy subjects. Approximately 54% was recovered in feces and 27% in urine. Unchanged Cabozantinib accounted for 43% of the total radioactivity in feces and was not detectable in urine following a 72-hour collection.

Interaction
Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Coadministration of a Caboz capsule formulation with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the exposure of Caboz, which may increase the risk of exposure-related adverse reactions. Avoid coadministration of Caboz with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Reduce the dosage of Caboz if coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors cannot be avoided. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice which may also increase exposure of Caboz.
Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of a Caboz capsule formulation with a strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased the exposure of Caboz, which may reduce efficacy. Avoid coadministration of Caboz with strong CYP3A4 inducers. Increase the dosage of Caboz if coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inducers cannot be avoided. Avoid St. John's Wort which may also decrease exposure of Caboz.

Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy: Cabozantinib can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk.
Lactation: There is no information regarding the presence of Cabozantinib or its metabolites in human milk, or their effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, women should be advised not to breastfeed during treatment with Cabozantinib and for 4 months after the final dose.
Contraception: Cabozantinib can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
Females: Females of reproductive potential should be advised to use effective contraception during treatment with Cabozantinib and for 4 months after the final dose.
Infertility: Females and Males: Based on findings in animals, Cabozantinib may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential.

Precautions & Warnings
Hemorrhage: Severe and fatal hemorrhages occurred with Caboz. Discontinue Caboz for Grade 3 or 4 hemorrhage. Do not administer Caboz to patients who have a recent history of hemorrhage, including hemoptysis, hematemesis, or melena.
Perforations and Fistulas: Fistulas, including fatal cases, occurred in 1% of Caboz-treated patients. Gastrointestinal (GI) perforations, including fatal cases, occurred in 1% of Caboz-treated patients. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of fistulas and perforations, including abscess and sepsis. Discontinue Caboz in patients who experience a fistula that cannot be appropriately managed or a GI perforation.
Thrombotic Events: Caboz increased the risk of thrombotic events. Venous thromboembolism occurred in 7% (including 4% pulmonary embolism) and arterial thromboembolism occurred in 2% of Caboz
-treated patients. Fatal thrombotic events occurred in Caboz-treated patients. Discontinue Caboz in patients who develop an acute myocardial infarction or serious arterial or venous thromboembolic events that require medical intervention.
Hypertension and Hypertensive Crisis: Caboz can cause hypertension, including hypertensive crisis. Do not initiate Caboz in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Monitor blood pressure regularly during Caboz treatment. Withhold Caboz for hypertension that is not adequately controlled with medical management; when controlled, resume Caboz at a reduced dose. Discontinue Caboz for severe hypertension that cannot be controlled with anti-hypertensive therapy or for hypertensive crisis.
Diarrhea: Diarrhea occurred in 63% of patients treated with Caboz. Withhold Caboz until improvement to Grade 1 and resume Caboz at a reduced dose for intolerable Grade 2 diarrhea, Grade 3 diarrhea that cannot be managed with standard antidiarrheal treatments, or Grade 4 diarrhea.
Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia: Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) occurred in 44% of patients treated with Caboz. Withhold Caboz until improvement to Grade 1 and resume Caboz at a reduced dose for intolerable Grade 2 PPE or Grade 3 PPE.
Proteinuria: Proteinuria was observed in 7% of patients receiving Caboz. Monitor urine protein regularly during Caboz treatment. Discontinue Caboz in patients who develop nephrotic syndrome.
Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) occurred in <1% of patients treated with Caboz. ONJ can manifest as jaw pain, osteomyelitis, osteitis, bone erosion, tooth or periodontal infection, toothache, gingival ulceration or erosion, persistent jaw pain or slow healing of the mouth or jaw after dental surgery. Perform an oral examination prior to initiation of Caboz and periodically during Caboz. Advise patients regarding good oral hygiene practices. Withhold Caboz for at least 28 days prior to scheduled dental surgery or invasive dental procedures, if possible. Withhold Caboz for development of ONJ until complete resolution.
