CABOMETYXTM (cabozantinib) Tablets Approved for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma, available at Biologics, Inc.

CARY, N.C. — October 5, 2016 —Biologics, Inc. has been selected by Exelixis, Inc. to be a specialty pharmacy provider in the limited distribution network for CABOMETYX^TM (cabozantinib) tablets.

Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 25, 2016, CABOMETYX is indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy.

RCC is the seventh most common cancer in men and the ninth most common in women. An estimated 65,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United Statesⁱ.

CABOMETYX is a kinase inhibitor that targets multiple tyrosine kinases involved in the development of RCC, including MET, AXL and three VEGF receptors. The approval of CABOMETYX is based on results of the pivotal phase 3 METEOR trial, which met its primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival (PFS) with a median PFS of 7.4 months. The drug received Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designation from the FDAⁱⁱ.

“We are excited to be able to support another treatment option for RCC patients,” said Shayne Malone, vice president, Biopharma Services, Biologics, Inc. “Our clinical care team’s high-touch approach to patient care will allow us to support CABOMETYX patients throughout their treatment journey.”

CABOMETYX is the tablet formulation of cabozantinib. Cabozantinib is also approved in a capsule formulation under the brand name of COMETRIQ^® for the treatment of progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer.

Biologics’ oncology specialty pharmacy is supported by a multidisciplinary care team that includes a financial counselor, pharmacist and oncology nurse.
