But the risk of an additional pharmacokinetic interaction between anti-VEGF TKI and DOACs must be considered, in case of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition by the TKI. We describe a case report with a major bleeding event in a renal metastatic cancer patient treated with cabozantinib and rivaroxaban. This case highlights the difficult therapeutic decision in a complex patient with cancer-associated thrombosis, who refused the anticoagulant subcutaneous route. Accumulation of bleeding risk factors (genito-urinary tumor localization) was additive to several pharmacodynamic interactions (acetylsalicylic acid, venlafaxine) and a potential pharmacokinetic interaction between cabozantinib and rivaroxaban. Indeed, cabozantinib-related P-glycoprotein inhibition could have led to a supratherapeutic level of rivaroxaban, contributing partly to the bleeding event.
