Exelixis, Inc., from the Greek word for “evolution,” is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing small molecule therapies with the potential to improve the treatment of cancer.
Over the past decade, we have established a broad development platform, laying the foundation for our continued efforts to bring new therapies for cancer to patients in need. The history of our lead compounds, cabozantinib and cobimetinib, tells the story of our evolution as a company. Each of these compounds were discovered in our own laboratories and advanced by us into clinical development.
In addition, we have leveraged our earlier stage drug discovery and development capabilities to establish multiple partnerships and collaborations with leading pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical partners. These alliances are designed to advance the development of multiple Exelixis-discovered therapies, and allow Exelixis to focus on maximizing the potential of cabozantinib, our internally-discovered inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases.
We believe that cabozantinib has the potential to treat a wide variety of cancers. The medicine received its first regulatory approval in 2012; since then, alongside our collaborators, we have advanced a broad, global clinical development program that is exploring cabozantinib’s potential in approximately 45 planned or ongoing clinical trials. Most recently, data from a phase 3 pivotal trial led to a second U.S. approval for cabozantinib as a treatment for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy. Cabozantinib is marketed as CABOMETYX™ in the United States for that purpose. Click here for important safety information about CABOMETYX. Ipsen has an exclusive license to commercialize cabozantinib outside of the United States, Canada and Japan, and is pursuing European Union approval for the same indication.
A second Exelixis-discovered compound, cobimetinib, also has broad potential as a cancer treatment. It is subject to a worldwide collaboration between Exelixis and Genentech (a member of the Roche Group). Cobimetinib has received regulatory approval for its first indication in Switzerland, the United States, the European Union and Canada, where it is marketed under the trade name COTELLIC™. Genentech is also further exploring cobimetinib’s potential through a clinical development program pursuant to which it is being evaluated in combination with investigational and approved therapies, including immunotherapy agents.
Exelixis was founded and incorporated in 1994 and we are based in South San Francisco, California. Exelixis is dedicated to improving the care of, and outcomes for patients with cancer.
Our leadership team is united by an unwavering commitment to creating value through the development of innovative new therapies to improve the treatment of cancer. Bringing together years of industry experience, our dedicated team shares the same vision to create therapies that make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients.

The Exelixis pipeline includes our lead compounds, cabozantinib and cobimetinib, as well as other programs that are the subject of partnerships and collaborations with other biopharmaceutical companies. An additional wholly-owned compound, XL888, is the subject of ongoing clinical research through our Investigator-Sponsored Trial program. Safety and efficacy for these compounds in the unapproved uses or indications described below have not yet been established.
Exelixis focuses its internal development efforts primarily upon cabozantinib, a targeted agent that inhibits the activity of receptor tyrosine kinases including MET, VEGF Receptors, AXL, and RET. These receptor tyrosine kinases are involved in both normal cellular function and in pathologic processes such as oncogenesis, metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment. Exelixis discovered cabozantinib, internally and maintains exclusive rights to commercialize the product in the United States and Canada, and also in Japan, where it is seeking a commercial partner. Per an agreement announced in February 2016, Exelixis has granted Ipsen exclusive commercialization rights for current and future indications outside of those territories. Both companies will collaborate on the development of cabozantinib for current and future indications as well.
For information on approved uses of cabozantinib, please visit our Medicines page.
Cobimetinib, an Exelixis-discovered compound, is a selective inhibitor of MEK, part of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway that is frequently dysregulated in human tumors. Cobimetinib is being developed by Genentech (a member of the Roche Group) under a collaboration agreement with Exelixis and is the subject of a broad clinical development program in combination with a variety of investigational and approved therapies.
Cobimetinib is commercially available in the United States for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation, in combination with vemurafenib, where it is marketed as COTELLIC® for that use. COTELLIC is also approved in the European Union, Switzerland and Canada for the treatment of people with BRAF V600 mutation-positive advanced melanoma. For more information on COTELLIC, including important safety information, please click here.
XL888 is a highly potent, orally bioavailable ATP-competitive inhibitor of HSP90, a molecular chaperone protein that affects the activity and stability of a range of key regulatory proteins, including kinases such as BRAF, MET, and VEGFR2. Exelixis discovered XL888 and owns the compound exclusively.
We have established multiple partnerships and collaborations with other leading pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies. These partnerships are designed to advance the development of a variety of potential therapies for cancer and other serious diseases.
