1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionCabozantinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that initially showed activity in medullary thyroid cancer and was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma after progression on first line therapy. Areas covered: In the METEOR trial, cabozantinib demonstrated significantly improved efficacy in all three endpoints; response rates, progression free survival and overall survival in a randomized trial with everolimus as an active comparator. Cabozantinib also showed activity in the front line setting in RCC within the CABOSUN trial. The study randomized untreated metastatic RCC patients to either cabozantinib or sunitinib and the former showed improved progression free survival which was the primary endpoint. The future holds promise for indications in other malignancies, given the preliminary efficacy and unique mechanism of action of cabozantinib. In this review we address the mechanism of action, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of cabozantinib, and also review the development pathway of this agent in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. The potential benefit in specific patient populations, such as poor risk patients and bone metastases subgroups is also discussed. Expert commentary: The clinical applications of cabozantinib will be addressed within the context of the current competitive therapeutic landscape of RCC.
