Discontinue CABOMETYX in patients who develop an acute myocardial infarction or serious arterial or venous thromboembolic events that require medical intervention [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 5.4 Hypertension and Hypertensive Crisis
CABOMETYX can cause hypertension, including hypertensive crisis [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Hypertension was reported in 37% (16% Grade 3 and <1% Grade 4) of CABOMETYX-treated patients. In CABINET (n=195) [see Clinical Studies (14.4)], hypertension was reported in 65% (26% Grade 3) of CABOMETYX-treated patients.
Do not initiate CABOMETYX in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Monitor blood pressure regularly during CABOMETYX treatment. Withhold CABOMETYX for hypertension that is not adequately controlled with medical management; when controlled, resume CABOMETYX at a reduced dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Permanently discontinue CABOMETYX for severe hypertension that cannot be controlled with anti-hypertensive therapy or for hypertensive crisis [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 5.5 Cardiac Failure
CABOMETYX can cause severe and fatal cardiac failure [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Cardiac failure occurred in 0.5% of patients treated with CABOMETYX as a single agent, including fatal cardiac failure in 0.1% of patients. Median time to onset of cardiac failure was 73 days (range: 44 days to 159 days).
Consider baseline and periodic evaluations of left ventricular ejection fraction. Monitor for signs and symptoms of cardiovascular events. Withhold and resume at a reduced dose upon recovery or permanently discontinue CABOMETYX depending on the severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 5.6 Diarrhea

Withhold CABOMETYX until improvement to Grade 1 and resume CABOMETYX at a reduced dose for intolerable Grade 2 PPE or Grade 3 PPE [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 5.8 Hepatotoxicity
CABOMETYX in combination with nivolumab can cause hepatic toxicity with higher frequencies of Grades 3 and 4 ALT and AST elevations compared to CABOMETYX alone.
Monitor liver enzymes before initiation of and periodically throughout treatment. Consider more frequent monitoring of liver enzymes as compared to when the drugs are administered as single agents. For elevated liver enzymes, interrupt CABOMETYX and nivolumab and consider administering corticosteroids [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
With the combination of CABOMETYX and nivolumab, Grades 3 and 4 increased ALT or AST were seen in 11% of patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. ALT or AST >3 times ULN (Grade ≥2) was reported in 83 patients, of whom 23 (28%) received systemic corticosteroids; ALT or AST resolved to Grades 0-1 in 74 (89%). Among the 44 patients with Grade ≥2 increased ALT or AST who were rechallenged with either CABOMETYX (n=9) or nivolumab (n=11) as a single agent or with both (n=24), recurrence of Grade ≥2 increased ALT or AST was observed in 2 patients receiving CABOMETYX, 2 patients receiving nivolumab, and 7 patients receiving both CABOMETYX and nivolumab.
Withhold and then resume CABOMETYX at a reduced dose based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 5.9 Adrenal Insufficiency

Adrenal insufficiency led to permanent discontinuation of CABOMETYX and nivolumab in 0.9% and withholding of CABOMETYX and nivolumab in 2.8% of patients with RCC.
Approximately 80% (12/15) of patients with adrenal insufficiency received hormone replacement therapy, including systemic corticosteroids. Adrenal insufficiency resolved in 27% (n=4) of the 15 patients. Of the 9 patients in whom CABOMETYX with nivolumab was withheld for adrenal insufficiency, 6 reinstated treatment after symptom improvement; of these, all (n=6) received hormone replacement therapy and 2 had recurrence of adrenal insufficiency.
For Grade 2 or higher adrenal insufficiency, initiate symptomatic treatment, including hormone replacement as clinically indicated. Withhold CABOMETYX and/or nivolumab and resume CABOMETYX at a reduced dose depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 5.10 Proteinuria
CABOMETYX can cause proteinuria.
Proteinuria was observed in 8% of patients receiving CABOMETYX [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Monitor urine protein regularly during CABOMETYX treatment. For Grade 2 or 3 proteinuria, withhold CABOMETYX until improvement to ≤Grade 1 proteinuria, resume CABOMETYX at a reduced dose.

Monitor blood calcium levels and replace calcium as necessary during treatment. Withhold and resume at reduced dose upon recovery or permanently discontinue CABOMETYX depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. 5.16 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on data from animal studies and its mechanism of action, CABOMETYX can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Cabozantinib administration to pregnant animals during organogenesis resulted in embryolethality at exposures below those occurring clinically at the recommended dose, and in increased incidences of skeletal variations in rats and visceral variations and malformations in rabbits.
Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with CABOMETYX and for 4 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3), Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].
Dosage

Drug interactions
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: Reduce the CABOMETYX dosage if coadministration cannot be avoided. (2.4, 7.1)
• Strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers: Increase the CABOMETYX dosage if coadministration cannot be avoided. (2.5, 7.1) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on CABOMETYX
Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors
Coadministration of a cabozantinib capsule formulation with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased the exposure of cabozantinib, which may increase the risk of exposure-related adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Avoid coadministration of CABOMETYX with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Reduce the dosage of CABOMETYX if coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors cannot be avoided [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)]. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice which may also increase exposure of cabozantinib.
Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers
Coadministration of a cabozantinib capsule formulation with a strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased the exposure of cabozantinib, which may reduce efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Avoid coadministration of CABOMETYX with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers. Increase the dosage of CABOMETYX if coadministration with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers cannot be avoided [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Avoid St. John’s wort which may also decrease exposure of cabozantinib.
