  • Objective:

    Primary Objectives:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of molecular characterization based on TMB for
      participant stratification, as assessed by the proportion of participants with less
      than or equal to a 21-day turnaround time for biopsy results in Stage I of the study.

      and unconfirmed partial responses plus complete responses) of cabozantinib plus
      nivolumab in each disease cohort, both across and within tumor biomarker
      subgroups.
