Jennifer Chan, MD, MPH, senior physician, clinical director, Program in Carcinoid and Neuroendocrine Tumors, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, assistant professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, discusses a trial of cabozantinib (Cabometyx) in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
A phase II trial in patients with carcinoid and pancreatic NETs showed that treatment with cabozantinib was associated with objective tumor responses, as well as encouraging progression-free survival.
Chan says there is ongoing work to evaluate cabozantinib in a larger trial.
