Clinical trial: Cabozantinib-S-Malate in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Endometrial Cancer

Summary: This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib-s-malate works in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has come back (recurrent) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Cabozantinib-s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  I. Determine efficacy of single agent cabozantinib-s-malate (cabozantinib) in women previously receiving one line of chemotherapy for metastatic endometrial cancer or with progression within 12 months of completing adjuvant therapy, with co-primary endpoints of objective response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and progression-free-survival at 12 weeks (PFS).
  SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  I. Correlation of clinical response with: baseline molecular status of archival tumor (hepatocyte growth factor receptor [c-met] amplification & mutation status).
  OUTLINE:
  Patients receive cabozantinib-s-malate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 weeks.

Eligibility: Inclusion Criteria:
