Cabozantinib-s-malate in Treating Patients with Metastatic or Refractory Solid Tumors and Bone Metastases
This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib-s-malate works in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or have not responded to previous treatment (refractory) and cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to the bone (bone metastases). Cabozantinib-s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Inclusion Criteria
- The participant has a histologic or cytologic diagnosis of a solid tumor (non-prostate, non-breast) that is metastatic and is refractory to or progressed (or relapsed) following standard therapies, or has disease for which no standard therapy exists; presence of metastatic bone lesion(s) is required
- The participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1

- The participant has prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test results at screening >= 1.3 X the laboratory ULN
- The participant requires concomitant treatment, in therapeutic doses, with anticoagulants such as warfarin or warfarin-related agents, heparin, thrombin or factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors, or antiplatelet agents (e.g., clopidogrel); low dose aspirin (=< 81 mg/day), low-dose warfarin (=< 1 mg/day), and prophylactic low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are permitted
- The participant has experienced any of the following within 3 months before the first dose of study treatment: * Clinically-significant hematemesis or lower gastrointestinal bleeding * Hemoptysis of >= 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of red blood * Any other signs indicative of pulmonary hemorrhage
- The participant has radiographic evidence of cavitating pulmonary lesion(s) or tumor in contact with, invading or encasing major blood vessels

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the effect of cabozantinib (cabozantinib-s-malate) on bone biomarkers of osteoblast and osteoclast activity (urinary N-terminal telopeptide [NTx], serum NTx, serum carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks [CTx], among others).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess rate of skeletal-related events (SRE) and time to SRE in patients treated with cabozantinib. (SRE defined as pathologic fracture, cord compression, radiation or surgery to bone, hypercalcemia).
II. To assess quality of life as measured by pain and analgesic scores and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G).
III. To assess overall tumor response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) if patient has RECIST evaluable disease.
IV. To correlate response with tumor genotyping and met proto-oncogene (MET) amplification, where available.
V. To assess the response to cabozantinib in bone metastatic disease as measured by bone scan or positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) scan.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive cabozantinib-s-malate orally (PO) once daily (QD). Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up between 30-37 days.
