Cabozantinib and Pembrolizumab in Metastatic Pancreas

Cabozantinib (XL184) is a potent inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) known to play important roles in tumor cell proliferation and/or tumor neovascularization.

Pembrolizumab is a potent humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody (mAb) with high specificity of binding to the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor, thus inhibiting its interaction with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2).
