On Friday, Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXEL)s shares inclined 3.95% to $5.79.

Exelixis, Inc. (EXEL) declared the company has initiated submission of its rolling New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for cabozantinib for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients who have received one preceding therapy. Cabozantinib was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA in August 2015. Exelixis agreed with FDA that the submission would be a rolling NDA and the company has filed the first component of the application for potential approval of cabozantinib in the United States. The rolling NDA allows accomplished portions of an NDA to be presented and reviewed by the FDA on an ongoing basis. Exelixis plans to complete the NDA submission before the end of 2015.

The rolling NDA submission is based on results of METEOR, a phase 3 pivotal trial comparing cabozantinib to everolimus in patients with advanced RCC who practiced disease progression following treatment with a VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In July 2015, Exelixis declared top-line results from METEOR demonstrating that the trial had met its primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival (PFS); contrast with everolimus, cabozantinib was associated with a 42% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death. These data were later presented at the European Cancer Congress in September 2015 and co presently published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Cabozantinib is presently marketed in capsule form under the brand name COMETRIQ® in the United States for the treatment of progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), and in the European Union for the treatment of adult patients with progressive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic MTC. COMETRIQ is not indicated for patients with RCC. In the METEOR trial, and all other cancer trials presently underway, Exelixis is investigating a tablet formulation of cabozantinib distinct from the COMETRIQ capsule form. The tablet formulation of cabozantinib is the subject of the NDA for advanced RCC.

Exelixis, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, develops and sells small molecule therapies for the treatment of cancer in the United States. The company offers COMETRIQ, an inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases for the treatment of patients with progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer.
