摘要: HGF/MET and VEGF/VEGFR pathways have emerged as rational therapeutic targets in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Preclinical studies support the role of inhibition these this challenging disease. Clinical trials using agents that inhibit either one but not both concurrently suggest modest activity with no overall survival benefit. Cabozantinib (Cabo) is a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor against MET, VEGFR2, RET. A phase II randomized discontinuation trial patients metastatic CRPC showed significant improvement bone scans, turnover markers, pain response. However, Cabo was associated adverse events resulting dose reduction treatment discontinuation. Ongoing two III are expected to define CRPC. The development biomarkers predictive response will further refine targeted therapies management
