Overview

Cabometyx is a cancer medicine used to treat adults with:

  • advanced renal cell carcinoma (a kidney cancer). It is used in patients who have been previously treated with a type of cancer medicine called ‘vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor’. It is also used in patients who have not had previous treatment and whose cancer is at moderate or high risk of rapidly getting worse.
  • hepatocellular carcinoma (a liver cancer). It is used on its own in patients who have already been treated with the cancer medicine sorafenib.
  • differentiated thyroid carcinoma (a type of cancer originating from the follicular cells of the thyroid gland). Cabometyx is used after systemic therapy (affecting the whole body) when the cancer has progressed or spread locally or to other parts of the body. It is used when the cancer does not respond to treatment with radioactive iodine or in patients who cannot have radioactive iodine.

Cabometyx contains the active substance cabozantinib.
