Patient case: 49-year-old female with lung cancer; genetic feature: ERBB2

Clinical trial: Study of Cabozantinib (XL184) in Adults With Advanced Malignancies

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not XL184 demonstrates anti-tumor activity in selected tumor types under a randomized discontinuation trial (RDT) design. Subjects who have responded to study drug after 12 weeks of open-label XL184 administration will continue to take XL184. Subjects who are clearly progressing will discontinue study treatment and subjects who demonstrate stable disease will be randomized to either XL184 or placebo. For individual patients, once disease progression is observed, the blind will be broken and subjects who were randomized to placebo will be offered the option to receive open-label XL184. Subjects who progressed while taking XL184 will discontinue study treatment.
  Emerging data may support enrollment in an open-label, non-randomized expansion cohort (NRE). There will be NRE cohorts for prostate and ovarian cancers.

  -  Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
  -  Certain requirements for prior therapies may apply
  -  The subject has documented progressive disease at screening
  -  Subjects having any tumor type of other than CRPC must have at least one lesion that is not within a previously irradiated field and is measurable on CT or MRI scan
  -  The subject has recovered to baseline or CTCAE ≤ Grade 1 from toxicities related to prior treatment (some exceptions apply)
  -  The subject is ≥ 18 years old on the day of consent
  -  Tissue samples from archival or fresh tissue, or a tissue block of the subject's tumor
  -  The subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  -  The subject has adequate organ function
  -  The subject is capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and has signed the informed consent document

  -  Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening
  Exclusion Criteria:
  -  The subject has experienced clinically-significant hematemesis or hemoptysis of >0.5 teaspoon of red blood, or other signs indicative of pulmonary hemorrhage within 3 months before the first dose of study treatment
  -  The subject has a cavitating pulmonary lesion(s) or a pulmonary lesion abutting or encasing a major blood vessel
  -  Certain restrictions on prior treatments apply
  -  The subject has received drugs used to control loss of bone mass within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment

  -  The subject requires concomitant treatment, in therapeutic doses, with anticoagulants such as warfarin or Coumadin-related agents, heparin, thrombin or FXa inhibitors, and antiplatelet agents (low-dose aspirin (≤81 mg/day), low-dose warfarin (≤1mg/day, and prophylactic low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are permitted)
  -  The subject has uncontrolled, significant intercurrent illness
  -  The subject is unable to swallow capsules
  -  The subject is pregnant or breastfeeding
  -  The subject has a previously-identified allergy or hypersensitivity to components of the study treatment formulation
