Identification
- Summary
Cabozantinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and medullary thyroid cancer.
- Brand Names
- Cabometyx, Cometriq
- Generic Name
- Cabozantinib
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB08875
- Background
Cabozantinib was first approved in 2012 and is a non-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It was initially approved in the US under the brand name Cometriq, which is indicated for the treatment of metastatic medullary thyroid cancer.6 In 2016, a capsule formulation (Cabometyx) was approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma, and this same formulation gained additional approval in both the US and Canada in 2019 for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in previously treated patients.7,8

- Pharmacodynamics
Cabozantinib suppresses metastasis, angiogenesis, and oncognesis by inhibiting receptor tyrosine kinases.
- Mechanism of action
Cabozantinib inhibits specific receptor tyrosine kinases such as VEGFR-1, -2 and -3, KIT, TRKB, FLT-3, AXL, RET, MET, and TIE-2.
Target Actions Organism AHepatocyte growth factor receptor antagonistHumans AVascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 antagonistHumans AProto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret antagonistHumans - Absorption
After oral administration, peak plasma concentration was achieved in 2-5 hours.
- Volume of distribution
The volume of distribution is 349L.
- Protein binding
Cabozantinib has extensive plasma protein binding (≥ 99.7%).
- Metabolism
Cabozantinib is metabolized mostly by CYP3A4 and, to a minor extent, by CYP2C9. Both enzyme produce an N-oxide metabolite.
- Route of elimination
Cabozantinib is eliminated mostly by the feces (54%) and also by the urine (27%).
- Half-life
Cabozantinib has a long half-life of 55 hours.
- Clearance
At steady state, the clearance is 4.4 L/hr.

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbametapir The serum concentration of Cabozantinib can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir. Abatacept The metabolism of Cabozantinib can be increased when combined with Abatacept. Abrocitinib The metabolism of Abrocitinib can be decreased when combined with Cabozantinib. Acenocoumarol The metabolism of Cabozantinib can be decreased when combined with Acenocoumarol. Acetaminophen The serum concentration of Acetaminophen can be increased when it is combined with Cabozantinib. - Food Interactions
- Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism, which may increase levels of cabozantinib.
- Avoid St. John's Wort. This herb induces CYP3A4 metabolism, which may reduce serum levels of cabozantinib.
- Take on an empty stomach. Separate the administration of cabozantinib from food by at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating.
- Take with a full glass of water.
