Abstract 241P
Background
Cabozantinib is approved in first-line metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab. In real-world setting, only a miniscule proportion of Indian patients with mRCC manage to afford nivolumab, and majority of the patients end up receiving first-line cabozantinib monotherapy. Unfortunately, even though cabozantinib has been approved for long time, there is no published data from India regarding the experience of first-line cabozantinib in mRCC.
Methods
From February 2022 to August 2023, consecutive patients of mRCC who were treated with first-line cabozantinib monotherapy, were prospectively followed. Response rates, survival outcomes and toxicity were analyzed for patients who received at least 3 months of cabozantinib. The adverse events were classified based on the CTCAE v 4.0.
Results
Of the 21 mRCC patients, 18 (86%) were males. Median age at diagnosis was 56 years (range: 35-72); and 20 (95%) patients had clear cell histology. Most common site of metastasis was lungs (n=14) followed by bone (n=12), non-regional lymph nodes (n=6) and liver (n=3). Two patients had favorable risk disease, whereas 15 had intermediate risk and 4 had poor risk disease according to IMDC risk criteria. Dose reductions due to toxicity were required in 8 (38%) patients. At initial evaluation (3 months after treatment initiation), 20 patients had disease control (partial response in 3 and stable disease in 17 patients), while one had progression of disease. At a median follow-up of 11.5 months (range: 3–19); median progression free survival was not reached (total number of progression events = 5) and all patients were surviving. Toxicities of cabozantinib were grade 1 or 2 in 12 patients and grade 3 or 4 in 7 patients. The most frequent grade 3-4 adverse events were diarrhea (n=3, 14.3%), hypertension (n=3, 14.3%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (n=2, 9.5%), stomatitis (n=1, 4.8%), and hepatic transaminitis (n=1, 4.8%).
Conclusions
Cabozantinib is a viable first-line option for Indian patients with mRCC. Keeping in mind the toxicity profile and need for dose reduction; starting with 40 mg daily dose and careful tailoring as per tolerance, seems to be practically more feasible in our setting.
