Cabozantinib: synergistic approach of VEGF/c-Met
blockade
Oral TKI targeting VEGFR2, MET, RET
•
c-Met constitutively phosphorilated in
clear cell RCC
•
Activated c-Met promotes tumor
growth, invasion, metastasis 1
•
High levels of HGF associated with
decreased survival in RCC
•
MET has been implicated in acquired
resistance to VEGF TT

Cabozantinib and
bone mets
•
Both HGF and MET are expressed by osteoblasts and osteoclasts in vitro and mediate
cellular responses such as proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
•
Cabozantinib targets both MET and VEGFR2 in osteoblast/osteoclast cells.
Targeting both the tumor and the bone microenvironment
•
Whether bone metastases in other tumors such as renal cancer will behave similarly is
unknown at present.
However, clinical trials in kidney cancer patients with bone
metastases, appear to demonstrate similar clinical responses on bone scans.

Immunotherapy: PD-1 receptor and nivolumab
Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is an immune checkpoint
receptor that negatively regulates T-cell activation,
suppresses T-cell activation by interacting with its
ligands (PD-L1/2) expressed by tumor cells, stromal
cell or both.
An estimated 24–37% of patients with ccRCC have
high levels of PD-L1 expression and these patients are
characterized by an aggressive tumor phenotype and
poor prognosis.
Pts with PD-1-positive tumor infiltrating
lymphocytes (TILs) have poor prognosis

Nivolumab: adverse events
(immune-related causes)
Divisione di Oncologia Medica, IRCCS Candiolo
1. McDermott DF, et al. J Clin Oncol 2013;31 (suppl 6; abstr 351).
A phase I study of nivolumab (anti-PD-1; BMS-936558; ONO-4538)
in combination with sunitinib, pazopanib, or ipilimumab in patients
(pts) with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
Ongoing Phase 1 dose-escalation and expansion study evaluating combination
of nivolumab with sunitinib, pazopanib or ipilimumab in pts with mRCC.
The primary objectives are to assess safety and tolerability, and to determine
the recommended Phase 2 dose in pts with mRCC.
The secondary objective is to assess preliminary antitumor activity (objective
response rate and response duration per RECIST 1.1).
Exploratory objectives are to evaluate overall survival, pharmacodynamics, and
predictive biomarkers for the combinations, and pharmacokinetics and
immunogenicity of nivolumab. Clinical trial information: NCT01472081.

Conclusions
Cabozantinib: for selected bone mets patients?
Nivolumab: opportunity for selection of patients for
immunotherapy on the basis of tumor markers (PD-1
and PD-L1 expression in tumors)
Tumor vaccines?
