Abstrakt: Background: Lenvatinib and sorafenib are standard of care first-line treatments for advanced, radioiodine-refractory (RAIR) differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, most patients eventually become treatment-resistant and require additional therapies. The phase 3 COSMIC-311 study investigated cabozantinib in patients with RAIR DTC who progressed on lenvatinib, sorafenib, or both and showed that cabozantinib provided substantial clinical benefit. Presented in this study is an analysis of COSMIC-311 based on prior therapy and histology. Methods: Patients were randomized 2:1 (stratification: prior lenvatinib [yes/no]; age [≤65, >65 years]) to oral cabozantinib (60 mg tablet/day) or matched placebo. Eligible patients received 1–2 prior vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors for DTC (lenvatinib or sorafenib required), had a confirmed DTC diagnosis, and were refractory to or ineligible for radioiodine therapy. For this analysis, progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 by a blinded independent radiology committee were evaluated by prior therapy (lenvatinib only, sorafenib only, both) and histology (papillary, follicular, oncocytic, poorly differentiated). Results: Two hundred fifty-eight patients were randomized (170 cabozantinib/88 placebo) who previously received sorafenib only (n = 96), lenvatinib only (n = 102), or both (n = 60). The median follow-up was 10.1 months. The median PFS (months) with cabozantinib/placebo was 16.6/3.2 (sorafenib only: hazard ratio [HR] 0.13 [95% confidence interval, CI, 0.06–0.26]), 5.8/1.9 (lenvatinib only: HR 0.28 [95% CI 0.16–0.48]), and 7.6/1.9 (both: HR 0.27 [95% CI 0.13–0.54]). The ORR with cabozantinib/placebo was 21%/0% (sorafenib only), 4%/0% (lenvatinib only), and 8%/0% (both). Disease histology consisted of 150 papillary and 113 follicular, including 43 oncocytic and 36 poorly differentiated. The median PFS (months) with cabozantinib/placebo was 9.2/1.9 (papillary: HR 0.27 [95% CI 0.17–0.43]), 11.2/2.5 (follicular: HR 0.18 [95% CI 0.10–0.31]), 11.2/2.5 (oncocytic: HR 0.06 [95% CI 0.02–0.21]), and 7.4/1.8 (poorly differentiated: HR 0.18 [95% CI 0.08–0.43]). The ORR with cabozantinib/placebo was 15%/0% (papillary), 8%/0% (follicular), 11%/0% (oncocytic), and 9%/0% (poorly differentiated). Safety outcomes evaluated were consistent with those previously observed for the overall population. Conclusions: Results indicate that cabozantinib benefits patients with RAIR DTC, regardless of prior lenvatinib or sorafenib treatments or histology. Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT03690388.
