Cabozantinib represents an established vascular endothelial growth factor- (VEGF-) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in the treatment paradigm of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Its activity in mRCC patients with brain metastases (BMs) has been largely underreported in prospective clinical trials. We present the unique case of a heavily pretreated mRCC patient with BMs who achieved a brain complete response to cabozantinib prior to receiving radiation therapy. We end with a literature review and discussion of the biologic rationale and growing evidence supporting the intracranial activity of cabozantinib.

BackgroundTyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and checkpoint inhibitors have been established as effective treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), but only a minority of patients achieve complete response. Additional strategies are necessary to improve these agents’ efficacy.MethodsPatients with stable disease for at least 4 months on TKI or checkpoint inhibitors were included. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) was delivered to an organ with comparable lesions, where one lesion was in the treatment target and the other one was intentionally left untreated (control lesion). Response in both lesions was scored using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors V.1.1 criteria 2 months after completion of SBRT. The primary endpoint was the rate of SBRT adverse events, and the secondary endpoints included the rate of reduction in target lesion size.Results17 patients were enrolled (14 men and 3 women, median age: 54.5 years old). SBRT was delivered to the lungs (n=5), bones (n=4), lymph nodes (n=4), liver (n=1), primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (n=1) and locally recurrent RCC (n=2). The equivalent dose in 2 Gy with an alpha to beta ratio of 2.6 was 114 Gy. With a median follow-up of 8 months, the cumulative rate of SBRT-related toxicity (grade 1) was 12% (n=2), consisting of oesophagitis and skin erythema. No grade 2 or higher toxicity was detected. Radiographic response in the target lesion was seen in 13 patients (76%), with complete response in 5 (29%) patients and partial response in 8 (47%), including abscopal effect in 1 patient. Control lesions remained stable in 16 patients. The difference between response in the target and control lesions as judged by the mean sizes of these lesions before and at 2 months after SBRT was statistically significant (p<0.01). Fraction size of 10 Gy or greater was associated with complete response (p<0.01).ConclusionExtracranial SBRT in patients with mRCC treated with TKI or checkpoint inhibitors is well tolerated and could be effective.Trial registration numberNCT02864615

In recent years, the management of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has been revolutionized by the advent of targeted therapies. Multitargeted kinase inhibitors (such as sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib, and axitinib), the vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor bevacizumab, and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (such as everolimus and temsirolimus) have become the standard of care for the palliation of metastatic disease. Unfortunately, cumulative toxicities and the lack of marked benefits have prevented the combined use of most molecularly targeted agents. Selected patients with mRCC benefit from immunotherapy, as subsets of patients can experience long-term disease remission or complete response with high-dose interleukin-2. In order to optimize the value of immunotherapy, improvements in the selection of drugs and combinations with novel immunomodulatory agents must be pursued.
