“We are excited to progress zanzalintinib, our next-generation multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, into this population of patients who otherwise are relegated to immunotherapy plus chemotherapy, but may benefit from a chemo-free option,” said Amy Peterson, M.D., Executive Vice President, Product Development & Medical Affairs, and Chief Medical Officer, Exelixis. “This study is based on encouraging data from a phase 2 investigator-initiated trial of cabozantinib and pembrolizumab and demonstrates our agility to move quickly into indications with sound rationale from our flagship asset.”
