Abstract 604P
Background
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are standard of care for radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer(RAIR-DTC). Cabozantinib (Cabo) is a TKI approved for RAIR-DTC in the US (patients [pts] aged ≥12 years who progressed after VEGFR-targeted therapy) and in the EU (adult pts who progressed after systemic therapy), based on significant progression-free survival (PFS) improvement vs placebo in the phase 3 COSMIC-311 study (NCT03690388). BRAF mutations are common in thyroid cancer, but limited data are available to inform treatment in BRAF-mutated RAIR-DTC. BRAF- and MEK-directed therapies are approved in the US for pts with BRAF-mutated solid tumors, but supportive studies in DTC are lacking. In this planned exploratory analysis of COSMIC-311, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of Cabo vs placebo by BRAF status.
Methods
Pts with RAIR-DTC previously treated with 1-2 VEGFR-targeted therapies (lenvatinib or sorafenib required) were randomized to Cabo 60 mg PO QD or placebo. Primary endpoints were PFS and objective response rate (ORR), both per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent review. For this analysis, outcomes were evaluated by BRAF status (BRAF-V600E or -wild type [wt]).
Results
Of258 randomized pts, BRAF status (V600E or wt) was determined for 101 pts: 27 were BRAF-V600E (Cabo 17, placebo 10) and 74 were BRAF-wt (Cabo 44, placebo 30). The PFS benefit of Cabo vs placebo was maintained irrespective of BRAF status (Table). Safety data by BRAF status were consistent with the overall study population. Table: 604P
BRAF-V600E | BRAF-wt | |||
Cabo (n=17) | Placebo (n=10) | Cabo (n=44) | Placebo (n=30) | |
PFS, median (95% CI), mo | 9.2 (3.6– NE) | 1.9 (1.0–NE) | 11.1 (7.4–NE) | 1.9 (1.8–3.6) |
Hazard ratio (95% CI) | 0.15 (0.04–0.59) | 0.23 (0.12–0.44) | ||
ORR, % (95% CI) | 18 (3.8–43.4) | 0 (0–30.8) | 11 (3.8–24.6) | 0 (0–11.6) |

Conclusions
In this subgroup analysis, Cabo was associated with improved PFS vs placebo irrespective of BRAF-V600E or wt status. These data, together with the manageable safety profile, support Cabo as a treatment option for RAIR-DTC after prior VEGFR-targeted therapy, including in BRAF-V600E disease.
