Medical Description
Cabtiro 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).
Cabtiro 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.

Quick Tips
- Always take Cabtiro 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 Cabtiro tablet tablets with cabozantinib capsules, as they are different formulations with different dosing and are not interchangeable

- Avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and St. John's Wort throughout your treatment course
