Clinical Trials Actively Recruiting

Having a large clinical trial portfolio means giving patients treatment options often not available anywhere else, and years before they become the standard of care.

  • 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.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of molecular characterization based on TMB and GEP
      (for TIS) for stratification in the overall study (Stage I and Stage II).
    • To evaluate the efficacy by overall response rate (ORR – defined as confirmed
      and unconfirmed partial responses plus complete responses) of cabozantinib plus
      nivolumab in each disease cohort, both across and within tumor biomarker
      subgroups.

    Secondary Objectives:

    • To assess the difference in ORR in each disease cohort between tumor marker
      subgroups separately for each disease cohort.
    • To assess safety and tolerability of this treatment in these populations.
    • To estimate disease control rate (DCR) in participants receiving cabozantinib plus
      nivolumab in each disease cohort, stratified by tumor biomarkers.
    • To estimate progression-free survival (PFS) in participants receiving cabozantinib
      plus nivolumab in each disease cohort, stratified by tumor biomarkers.
    • To estimate overall survival (OS) in participants receiving cabozantinib plus
      nivolumab in each disease cohort, stratified by tumor biomarkers.
    • To assess the proportion of patients with assay failure, and the time from the date
      of tissue collection to molecular group determination at the end of Stage I.
    • To assess turnaround time for TIS for at least 30 patients in Stage I to ensure that
      at least 75% have a turnaround time of <21 days. If TIS is not ready for real-time
      testing when 30 slots remain for Stage I, accrual will be paused until assay
      validation is complete
