CABINET: Cabozantinib in Advanced pNET and Carcinoid Tumors

CABINET Randomized, Double-Blinded Phase III Study of Cabozantinib Versus Placebo in Patients with Advanced NETs After Progression on Prior Therapy

CLINICALTRIALS.GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT03375320

DRUG/TREATMENT: Cabozantinib 

PHASE: 3

STATUS: Closed

SPONSOR:  National Cancer Institute (NCI)

UPDATE - October 25, 2023

Dr. Jennifer Chan from Dana Farber Cancer Institute shared the CABINET trial data that showed cabozantinib (CABOMETYX®) helped those with advanced pancreatic NET and extra pancreatic NET (NET outside the pancreas). The results suggest that cabozantinib may be an effective option to treat NET patients, even those who have already tried other therapies. The NET patient community can be hopeful that there will likely be another FDA-approved oral treatment available in the near future.

UPDATE - Aug 24, 2023

The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology announced that the CABINET trial (NCT03375320) showed positive findings with cabozantinib having efficacy.

The CABINET trial is a phase 3 randomized, double-blinded study evaluating cabozantinib compared with placebo in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) or advanced extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoid tumors) who experienced progression after prior systemic therapy.

The trial is now being stopped early. It will be unblinded, meaning the patients will find out if they have been receiving placebo and those who have will have the possibility of receiving cabozantinib. The findings will be discussed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Detailed results from the trial will be presented at an upcoming scientific meeting.

Dr. Jennifer Chan Discusses CABINET: Cabozantinib

DESCRIPTION:

This phase III trial studies cabozantinib to see how well it works compared with placebo in treating patients with neuroendocrine or carcinoid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Cabozantinib is a chemotherapy drug known as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and it targets specific tyrosine kinase receptors that, when blocked, may slow tumor growth.
