CI Scientists Remarks:
Cabometyx, is approved in the US as monotherapy for advanced RCC and HCC patients who have been previously treated with Sorafenib
CheckMate-9ER is an open-label, randomized, multi-national Phase 3 trial evaluating Cabometyx + Opdivo vs sunitinib in patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) combinations with 75% market share dominate the 1L mRCC space. The approval of this combination will have significant growth opportunity for Cabometyx in 1L space and also as a approved product for 2L RCC, growth will be continued as patients treated with ICI regimens progress
Apart from this, Cabometyx is also being evaluated in wide range of cancers across different lines of therapy and combinations (NSCLC, mCRPC, HCC, RCC)
