Medical Description

Cabozanib tablet contains cabozantinib as its active ingredient. It is a prescription cancer medicine that belongs to a class of medicines called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking multiple proteins involved in cancer cell growth, the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumours (angiogenesis), and the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. It comes as a yellow film-coated tablet taken by mouth.

This medicine is used in adults with advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) previously treated with sorafenib, and for adults and young people aged 12 years and older with locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer that has progressed following prior treatment and is no longer responsive to radioactive iodine. It is also used for adults and young people aged 12 years and older with previously treated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNET) and extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (epNET).

Cabozanib tablet is an oral medicine prescribed and supervised by a specialist doctor experienced in treating cancer. For advanced renal cell carcinoma, it can be given alone or in combination with another medicine called nivolumab.

Uses

Cabozanib tablet is used to treat adults with:
  • Advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), alone or in combination with nivolumab as a first-line treatment

Other General Warnings

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • You notice any unusual bleeding, such as coughing up blood, vomiting blood, blood in your stools, or any other unexpected bleeding, as Cabozanib tablet can cause serious or fatal haemorrhage that may require permanent treatment discontinuation
  • You develop persistent or severe abdominal pain, as this may indicate a serious complication such as a hole in the stomach or intestine (gastrointestinal perforation) or an abnormal connection between organs (fistula)
  • You experience sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, or swelling in a limb, as these may indicate a serious blood clot in the lungs or veins
  • You have uncontrolled high blood pressure or your blood pressure becomes difficult to manage during treatment, as Cabozanib tablet can cause severe hypertension and hypertensive crisis

  • Swallow the tablets whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split them
  • Do not substitute Cabozanib tablet tablets with cabozantinib capsules, as they are different formulations and are not interchangeable
  • Tell your doctor at least 3 weeks before any planned surgery, including dental surgery, as treatment must be stopped in advance to reduce the risk of bleeding and wound healing problems

Storage and disposal

  • Do not freeze.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Quick Tips

  • Always take Cabozanib tablet on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating, as food significantly changes how much medicine is absorbed into the body
  • Never substitute Cabozanib tablet tablets with cabozantinib capsules, as they are different formulations with different dosing and are not interchangeable
  • Tell your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual bleeding, such as coughing up blood, vomiting blood, or black or tarry stools, as this medicine can cause serious or life-threatening haemorrhage
  • Tell your doctor right away if you develop painful redness, swelling, or blisters on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet, as hand-foot syndrome is very common with this medicine and needs early management
  • Maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular dental check-ups, and inform your dentist that you are on this medicine, as osteonecrosis of the jaw is a known risk; avoid invasive dental procedures where possible
  • Monitor your blood pressure regularly during treatment, as high blood pressure is very common and may need to be managed with additional medicines
  • Avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and St. John's Wort throughout your treatment course
  • Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during treatment and for 4 months after the last dose
  • Inform all your doctors, dentists, and emergency care providers that you are taking Cabozanib tablet, as it requires special precautions around surgery and interacts with many medicines

Dosage

Overdose

  • One case of overdose has been reported, where a patient accidentally took twice the intended dose for 9 days. This led to severe memory impairment, changes in mental status, cognitive disturbance, weight loss, and elevated kidney markers in blood tests. There is no known specific antidote for a Cabozanib tablet overdose.
  • If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor or go to the nearest emergency department right away. Your doctor will stop the medicine and provide supportive monitoring and care as needed.

Missed a Dose

  • If you miss a dose of Cabozanib tablet and it is more than 12 hours until your next scheduled dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is within 12 hours of your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time.
  • Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. If you are unsure what to do, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

How does this medicine work?

Cabozanib tablet works by blocking multiple proteins called kinases, including MET, VEGFR, AXL, and RET, that cancer cells and blood vessels rely on to grow, spread, and form new blood supply networks. By inhibiting these proteins simultaneously, it cuts off the signals cancer cells need to survive and blocks the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumour growth, slowing or stopping cancer progression.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Avoid strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and certain HIV medicines), as these can raise the amount of Cabozanib tablet in the blood and increase the risk of serious side effects; if co-administration cannot be avoided, your doctor will reduce the dose
  • Avoid strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers (such as rifampicin, carbamazepine, and phenytoin), as these can significantly reduce the effectiveness of Cabozanib tablet; your doctor may increase the dose if co-administration cannot be avoided
  • Avoid St. John's Wort throughout your treatment, as it can reduce the effectiveness of Cabozanib tablet
  • Always tell your doctor about all medicines, supplements, vitamins, and herbal products you are taking before starting treatment

Interactions with food items

  • Cabozanib tablet must be taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after eating, as food significantly increases the amount of medicine absorbed into the body and can raise the risk of side effects
  • Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice throughout your treatment course, as these can increase the amount of Cabozanib tablet in the blood and raise the risk of side effects
  • Drink enough water and fluids throughout the day to support kidney function and overall health during treatment
  • Avoid alcohol during treatment, as it can worsen fatigue and diarrhoea, which are already common side effects

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Cabozanib tablet is approved for five types of cancer: advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma), liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in patients previously treated with sorafenib, advanced thyroid cancer (differentiated thyroid cancer) that has progressed after prior VEGFR-targeted treatment, and two types of neuroendocrine tumours affecting the pancreas and other organs. For kidney cancer, it can be given alone or in combination with nivolumab. For thyroid cancer and neuroendocrine tumours, it is also approved for young people aged 12 years and older.
Food significantly increases the absorption of cabozantinib into the bloodstream. Taking the tablet with or shortly after food can raise the amount of medicine in the body considerably, increasing the risk of serious side effects. Cabozanib tablet must always be taken at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after eating, even if this requires adjusting your daily routine.
Hand-foot syndrome (palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia or PPE) is a very common side effect in which the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet becomes red, sore, swollen, and in more severe cases, blistered or peeling. It affects up to 45% of patients. To reduce discomfort, keep affected areas well moisturised, avoid tight footwear, and use cushioned insoles and protective gloves during activities that put pressure on the hands and feet. Tell your doctor at the first sign of any redness or soreness, as early management, including dose adjustment if necessary, can prevent it from worsening.
Cabozanib tablet can impair wound healing and increase the risk of serious bleeding, which are significant concerns around the time of any surgical or dental procedure. Treatment must be stopped at least 3 weeks before any planned procedure and cannot be restarted until at least 2 weeks after major surgery and once wound healing is confirmed to be adequate. Always inform your doctor and surgeon well in advance of any planned procedure.
