LID - 10.7573/dic.2023-4-1 [doi] LID - 2023-4-1 AB - BACKGROUND: There is a lack of real-world data on the use of cabozantinib in Asian patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study to investigate the toxicity and efficacy of cabozantinib in this patient population who progressed on tyrosine kinase inhibitors and/or immune-checkpoint inhibitors from six oncology centres in Hong Kong. The primary endpoint was the incidence of serious adverse events (AEs) attributed to cabozantinib. Secondary safety endpoints included dose reductions and AE-led treatment terminations. Secondary effectiveness endpoints included overall survival, progression-free survival, and objective response rate. RESULTS: A total of 24 patients were included. Half received cabozantinib as a third-line or later-line treatment, whilst 50% received prior immune-checkpoint inhibitors, primarily nivolumab. Overall, 13 (54.2%) patients reported at least one cabozantinib-related AE of grades 3-4. The most commonly reported AEs were hand-foot skin reactions (9; 37.5%) and anaemia (4; 16.7%). Fifteen (65.2%) patients required dose reductions. Three patients discontinued treatment because of AEs. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 10.3 months and 13.2 months, respectively; 6 (25%) patients achieved partial responses, and 8 (33.3%) achieved stable disease. CONCLUSION: Cabozantinib was generally well tolerated and efficacious in Asian patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who were heavily pretreated.
