Indications of Caboz 20 mg

Renal Cell Carcinoma: Caboz 20 mg is indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Caboz 20 mg is indicated for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have been previously treated with Sorafenib.

Theropeutic Class

Cytotoxic Chemotherapy

Pharmacology

In vitro biochemical and/or cellular assays have shown that Caboz 20 mg inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of MET, VEGFR-1, -2 and -3, AXL, RET, ROS1, TYRO3, MER, KIT, TRKB, FLT-3, and TIE-2. These receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in both normal cellular function and pathologic processes such as oncogenesis, metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, drug resistance, and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment.

Dosage of Caboz 20 mg

Recommended Dosage for Renal Cell Carcinoma: The recommended dosage of Caboz 20 mg is 60 mg once daily without food until the patient no longer experiences clinical benefit or experiences unacceptable toxicity.Recommended Dosage for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The recommended dosage of Caboz 20 mg is 60 mg once daily without food until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Or, as directed by the registered physicians. Stop treatment with Caboz 20 mg at least 28 days prior to scheduled surgery, including dental surgery. Do not substitute Caboz 20 mg tablets with Caboz 20 mg capsules. Do not administer Caboz 20 mg with food. Administer at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after eating. Swallow Caboz 20 mg tablets whole. Do not crush Caboz 20 mg tablets. Do not take a missed dose within 12 hours of the next dose. Modify the dose for certain patients with hepatic impairment and for patients taking drugs known to strongly induce or inhibit CYP450. Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Caboz 20 mg in pediatric patients have not been established.

Administration of Caboz 20 mg

Interaction of Caboz 20 mg

Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Coadministration of a Caboz 20 mg capsule formulation with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the exposure of Caboz 20 mg, which may increase the risk of exposure-related adverse reactions. Avoid coadministration of Caboz 20 mg with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Reduce the dosage of Caboz 20 mg if coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors cannot be avoided. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice which may also increase exposure of Caboz 20 mg.Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of a Caboz 20 mg capsule formulation with a strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased the exposure of Caboz 20 mg, which may reduce efficacy. Avoid coadministration of Caboz 20 mg with strong CYP3A4 inducers. Increase the dosage of Caboz 20 mg if coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inducers cannot be avoided. Avoid St. John's Wort which may also decrease exposure of Caboz 20 mg.

Contraindications

It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Caboz 20 mg or any other components of this product.

Side Effects of Caboz 20 mg

Hemorrhage Perforations and Fistulas Thrombotic Events Hypertension and Hypertensive Crisis Diarrhea Palmar-plantar Erythrodysesthesia Proteinuria Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Wound Complications Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome

Pregnancy & Lactation

Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, Caboz 20 mg can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There is no information regarding the presence of Caboz 20 mg or its metabolites in human milk, or their effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with Caboz 20 mg and for 4 months after the final dose.

Precautions & Warnings

Hemorrhage: Severe and fatal hemorrhages occurred with Caboz 20 mg. Discontinue Caboz 20 mg for Grade 3 or 4 hemorrhage.

Gastrointestinal (GI) perforations, including fatal cases, occurred in 1% of Caboz 20 mg-treated patients. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of fistulas and perforations, including abscess and sepsis. Discontinue Caboz 20 mg in patients who experience a fistula that cannot be appropriately managed or a GI perforation.Thrombotic Events: Caboz 20 mg increased the risk of thrombotic events. Venous thromboembolism occurred in 7% (including 4% pulmonary embolism) and arterial thromboembolism occurred in 2% of Caboz 20 mg-treated patients. Fatal thrombotic events occurred in Caboz 20 mg-treated patients. Discontinue Caboz 20 mg in patients who develop an acute myocardial infarction or serious arterial or venous thromboembolic events that require medical intervention.Hypertension and Hypertensive Crisis: Caboz 20 mg can cause hypertension, including hypertensive crisis. Do not initiate Caboz 20 mg in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Monitor blood pressure regularly during Caboz 20 mg treatment. Withhold Caboz 20 mg for hypertension that is not adequately controlled with medical management; when controlled, resume Caboz 20 mg at a reduced dose. Discontinue Caboz 20 mg for severe hypertension that cannot be controlled with anti-hypertensive therapy or for hypertensive crisis.Diarrhea: Diarrhea occurred in 63% of patients treated with Caboz 20 mg. Withhold Caboz 20 mg until improvement to Grade 1 and resume Caboz 20 mg at a reduced dose for intolerable Grade 2 diarrhea, Grade 3 diarrhea that cannot be managed with standard antidiarrheal treatments, or Grade 4 diarrhea.Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia: Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) occurred in 44% of patients treated with Caboz 20 mg. Withhold Caboz 20 mg until improvement to Grade 1 and resume Caboz 20 mg at a reduced dose for intolerable Grade 2 PPE or Grade 3 PPE.Proteinuria: Proteinuria was observed in 7% of patients receiving Caboz 20 mg. Monitor urine protein regularly during Caboz 20 mg treatment. Discontinue Caboz 20 mg in patients who develop nephrotic syndrome.Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) occurred in <1% of patients treated with Caboz 20 mg.

Mode Of Action

In vitro biochemical and/or cellular assays have shown that Caboz 20 mg inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of MET, VEGFR-1, -2 and -3, AXL, RET, ROS1, TYRO3, MER, KIT, TRKB, FLT-3, and TIE-2. These receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in both normal cellular function and pathologic processes such as oncogenesis, metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, drug resistance, and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment.Absorption: Median time to peak Caboz 20 mg concentrations (Tmax) ranged from 3 to 4 hours post-dose. A 19% increase in the Cmax of Caboz 20 mg compared to a Caboz 20 mg capsule formulation was observed following a single 140 mg dose. A less than 10% difference in the AUC was observed between Caboz 20 mg and a Caboz 20 mg capsule formulation.Distribution: The oral volume of distribution (Vz/F) of Caboz 20 mg is approximately 319 L. Caboz 20 mg is highly protein-bound in human plasma (≥99.7%).Elimination: The predicted terminal half-life is approximately 99 hours and the clearance (CL/F) at steady state is estimated to be 2.2 L/hr.Metabolism: Caboz 20 mg is a substrate of CYP3A4 in vitro.Excretion: Approximately 81% of the total administered radioactivity was recovered within a 48-day collection period following a single dose of radiolabeled 14 C- Caboz 20 mg in healthy subjects. Approximately 54% was recovered in feces and 27% in urine. Unchanged Caboz 20 mg accounted for 43% of the total radioactivity in feces and was not detectable in urine following a 72-hour collection.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy: Caboz 20 mg can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. Lactation: There is no information regarding the presence of Caboz 20 mg or its metabolites in human milk, or their effects on the breastfed child or milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, women should be advised not to breastfeed during treatment with Caboz 20 mg and for 4 months after the final dose.Contraception: Caboz 20 mg can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.Females: Females of reproductive potential should be advised to use effective contraception during treatment with Caboz 20 mg and for 4 months after the final dose.Infertility: Females and Males: Based on findings in animals, Caboz 20 mg may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential.
