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)
