Background: Cabozantinib (Cabo), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of c-Met and VEGFR2, modulates the tumor microenvironment in a therapeutically favorable manner. We combined Cabo with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients (pts) with androgen-dependent metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) (NCT01630590). Methods: Pts received Cabo (starting dose 60 mg PO daily) and ADT with a GnRH analogue. Pts could receive up to 3 months of ADT prior to initiating Cabo. Bone scan (BS) and CT scans were performed every 12 weeks (wks). Efficacy endpoints included response in markers, BS and RECIST, and time to castrate-resistant progression defined by radiographic progression, clinical progression, or receipt of additional anti-cancer therapy. Results:  From 01/27/2014 to 01/12/2016, 62 pts were enrolled:  94% (58/62) with bone metastasis, 56% (35/62) with measurable disease, 15% (9/62) with visceral involvement and 26% (16/62) with prior treatment of their primary tumor. 79% (49/62) of pts have high volume disease defined by > 4 bone lesions and/or involvement of viscera. Median time from start of ADT to start of Cabo was 3.4 wks. Improvements in BS were observed in 81% (44/54) of evaluable pts including complete responses (CR) in 15% (8/54). In evaluable pts with measurable disease, best response was stable disease in 9% (3/33), PR in 61% (20/33) and CR in 30% (10/33). Reductions in PSA >  90%, bone specific alkaline phosphatase >  50% and urine N-telopeptides >  50% occurred in 83% (50/60), 87% (34/39), 86% (19/22) of evaluable pts, respectively. With a median follow up of 21.4 months (mo), median PFS is 15.6 mo. Median duration of Cabo treatment is 13 mo. Most common toxicities are Grade 3 hypertension (16%), pulmonary embolus (6%), diarrhea (4%), fatigue (3%), nausea (3%), and deep venous thrombosis (3%) with no Grade 4 events. Cabo dose reductions to 40 and 20 mg occurred in 68% and 18% of pts, respectively, with discontinuations due to toxicity in 10% of pts. Conclusions: Cabo plus ADT has potent clinical activity in pts with high volume androgen-dependent PCa including improvements BS and reduction in markers of bone stromal function. Studies are underway to identify biomarkers predictive of best response.
