Cabozantinib exposure-response analysis for the phase 3 CheckMate 9ER trial of nivolumab plus cabozantinib versus sunitinib in first-line advanced renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

In the phase 3 CheckMate 9ER trial, intravenous nivolumab (240 mg every 2 weeks) plus oral cabozantinib (40 mg/day) improved progression-free survival (PFS) versus sunitinib as first-line therapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To support cabozantinib dosing with the combination, this exposure-response analysis characterized the relationship of cabozantinib exposure with clinical endpoints.

Methods

Dose modification was allowed with cabozantinib (holds and reductions) to manage adverse events (AEs). The population pharmacokinetics analysis was updated and used to generate individual predicted cabozantinib exposure measures. Kaplan-Meier plots and time-to-event Cox proportional hazard (CPH) exposure-response models characterized the relationship of cabozantin
