Summary

This study tested whether taking the kidney cancer drug cabozantinib with a light breakfast changes how much drug gets into the body. Twelve patients with advanced kidney cancer took the drug both with and without breakfast to compare drug levels. The goal is to find a dosing schedule that reduces side effects like nausea and diarrhea, and may allow skipping some doses to lower costs.
