Conditions: Recurrent Malignant Solid Neoplasm Recurrent Melanoma Recurrent Primary Central Nervous System Neoplasm Recurrent Thyroid Gland Carcinoma Refractory Malignant Solid Neoplasm Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Neoplasm Thyroid Gland Medullary Carcinoma
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Start date: 2012-11-14; Completion date: 2019-12-31
Enrollment: 41 participants; Allocation: NA; Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP

Brief summary:
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cabozantinib S-malate in treating younger patients with solid tumors that have come back or no longer respond to treatment. Cabozantinib S-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose of XL184 (cabozantinib) (cabozantinib S-malate) administered orally to children with refractory solid tumors including central nervous system (CNS) tumors.

II. To define and describe the toxicities of XL184 (cabozantinib) administered on this schedule.

III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of XL184 (cabozantinib) in children with refractory solid tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To preliminarily define the antitumor activity of XL184 (cabozantinib) within the confines of a phase 1 study.

II. To assess the biologic activity of XL184 (cabozantinib). III. To assess the biomarker response (carcinoembryonic antigen \[CEA\] and calcitonin) in patients with medullary thyroid cancer treated with XL184.

IV. To evaluate overall survival from study entry through a five-year follow-up period.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. (Complete as of 4/16/2014)

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 at 30 days, 6 months, and then annually for up to 60 months.

Arms: arm 1: Patients receive cabozantinib S-malate PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Interventions: intervention 1: Cabozantinib S-malate intervention 2: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis intervention 3: Pharmacological Study
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Given PO intervention 2: Correlative studies intervention 3: Correlative studies

This trial is covered by a Certificate of Confidentiality from the federal government, which will help us 
protect the privacy of our research subjects.  The Certificate protects against the involuntary release of 
information about subjects collected during the course of our covered studies.  The researchers involved in 
the studies cannot be forced to disclose the identity or any information collected in the study in any legal 
proceedings at the federal, state, or local level, regardless of whether they are criminal, administrative, or 
legislative proceedings.  However, the subject or the researcher may choose to voluntarily disclose the 
protected information under certain circumstances.  For example, if the subject or his/her guardian requests 
the release of information in writing, the Certificate does not protect against that voluntary disclosure.  
Furthermore, federal agencies may review our records under limited circumstances, such as a DHHS 
request for information for an audit or program evaluation or an FDA request under the Food, Drug and 
Cosmetics Act. 
 
The Certificate of Confidentiality will not protect against mandatory disclosure by the researchers of 
information on suspected child abuse, reportable communicable diseases, and/or possible threat of harm to

ABSTRACT 
 
XL184 (cabozantinib) is an oral small molecule inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases including primarily 
MET, VEGFR2 and RET. Overexpression or dysregulation of these tyrosine kinases contribute to the 
pathogenesis of a number of pediatric and adult solid tumors. XL184 has been shown to inhibit these 
tyrosine kinases in vivo and has shown dose-dependent tumor suppression in a variety of xenograft models. 
Treatment with XL184 has also shown antitumor activity in clinical trials in adults assessing its activity in 
several tumor types. This is a limited dose-escalation study of XL184 in pediatric and adolescent patients 
with relapsed or refractory solid tumors including CNS tumors. We will evaluate the MTD or recommended 
phase 2 dose and toxicity of XL184 administered orally on a continuous dosing schedule in the pediatric 
population. We will also preliminarily define the antitumor effects of XL184 within the confines of a phase 
I study, with a particular focus on medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) given the activity of XL184 seen in 
adult patients with MTC. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies will be conducted to further 
define the properties of XL184 in pediatric and adolescent patients.

BACKGROUND 
 
2.1 
Introduction/Rationale for Development 
Overexpression or dysregulation of certain receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) including 
VEGFR, MET and RET have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of tumors. 
Molecularly targeted therapy against these receptors can interrupt this signaling leading to 
tumor shrinkage and in some cases prolonged survival as seen in colorectal and renal 
cancers.1 These RTKs are overexpressed in a variety of pediatric cancers; VEGFR in 
pediatric sarcomas2 and MET in osteosarcoma, glioma, and papillary thyroid cancer3,4. 
Activating RET mutations are the driving force for the development of medullary thyroid 
cancer (MTC) in patients with MEN2, where tumors can appear early in childhood, 
particularly in MEN2B.5  
XL184 is a small molecule inhibitor of multiple tyrosine kinases including primarily MET, 
VEGFR2 and RET and to a lesser extent KIT and TIE-2. In vitro models also show that 
XL184 also inhibits AXL a RTK thought to be involved in gliomagenesis.6  
Selective inhibition of VEGFR2 may lead to increased invasiveness and metastasis.7 
Preclinical models suggest that inhibition of VEGFR2 together with c-MET may not only 
decrease tumor size, but decrease invasiveness and metastases.8,9

Preclinical Studies 
 
2.2.1 
Antitumor Activity  
After treatment with XL184 in in vivo models, immunohistochemical analysis 
showed significant and sustained inhibition of MET, RET and VEGFR2 in solid 
tumors expressing high levels of these RTKs and inhibition of VEGFR2 and TIE-
2 in lung lysate.6  
XL184 has shown dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth in a variety of 
xenograft models including human breast, lung and MTC, transgenic RIP-Tag2 
model of pancreatic cancer and rat glioma.6 In vivo models showed that plasma 
exposures of XL184 were similar across the models tested and that peak 
concentrations between 2 and 27 mcM were required for target inhibition and anti-
tumor activity. However, much lower trough concentrations (as low as 0.1mcM) 
were seen in these models suggesting that sustained elevated plasma levels of 
XL184 are not needed for efficacy.6   
XL184 has also been shown to block both osteoblastic and osteolytic progression 
of murine xenograft prostate tumors that express both MET and the VEGF co-
receptor NP-1. 7  
 
2.2.2 
Animal Toxicology 
Cardiovascular toxicology studies in beagle dogs showed no significant effects on 
systolic blood pressure, heart rate, left ventricular pressure or QT/QTc 
prolongation at doses of 150 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg. There was a transient increase 
in diastolic blood pressure (22%) that led to a 12% increase in mean arterial 
pressure at the 1000 mg/kg dose.6  
In chronic dosing toxicity studies, XL184 was well tolerated in rats and dogs with 
daily dosing for 26 weeks.7 
 
2.2.3 
Preclinical Pharmacokinetic Studies 
Preclinical pharmacology showed that XL184 is metabolized by demethylation, 
oxidation and glucuronidation. It is an inhibitor of CYP2C8, CYP2C9*3 and 
CYP2C19 isoenzymes in vitro and is a substrate for CYP3A4 metabolism. 
CYP3A4 induction was seen in vitro in one of two studies with human hepatocytes 
but not with HEPG2 cell lines. XL184 is highly protein-bound (98%).6 
 
2.3 
Adult Studies 
 
2.3.1 
Phase 1 Studies 
As of May 2011, there have been 1333 adult subjects treated with XL184 in a 
variety of clinical trials. In the initial phase I study in adults, 85 patients were 
treated at doses ranging from 0.08 to 11.52 mg/kg/day with subsequent cohorts 
receiving fixed doses of 175 mg, 250 mg and 265 mg daily. The MTD in this study 
was 175 mg po daily (salt form; equivalent to 140 mg freebase form). However, a 
significant percentage of patients receiving this dose required dose-reductions for 
toxicity and a dose of 125 mg (100 mg freebase form) was found to be better 
tolerated. Other studies with XL184 have also found that patients required 
significant dose-reductions with long-term treatment and based on tolerability and 
response data at doses of 40 mg per day10, starting doses as low as 60 mg per day

are currently being studied in adults (personal communications Exelixis,11,12).  
DLTs in adult phase I studies were grade 3 lipase elevation, palmar-plantar 
erythrodysesthesia (PPE), and AST/ALT elevation at 11.25 mg/kg, grade 3 PPE 
and elevation of AST at 250 mg qd, and grade 2 and 3 mucositis at 265 mg per 
day. Other common but non dose-limiting toxicities seen with XL184 were fatigue, 
diarrhea, anorexia, nausea, constipation, vomiting, rash, hypertension, 
hypopigmentation of hair, and mucositis. Side effects associated with inhibition of 
VEGF signaling have also been seen including thrombotic events, hypertension, 
hemorrhage, and rare cases of GI perforation and rectal/perirectal abscess.6,11,12 
Thirty-seven patients with MTC were treated on the initial phase I study. 17/35 
(49%) had tumor shrinkage > 30% on at least one evaluation, 10 patients (29%) 
had a confirmed partial response and 15/37 (41%) had stable disease ≥ 6 months. 
Responses were seen in patients treated at doses between 75 and 175mg and in 
patients with and without RET mutations.  Patients with other tumor types 
experienced stable disease for at least 3 months including colorectal carcinoma 
(n=3), sarcoma (n=2), melanoma (n=2), carcinoid (n=2), and adenocyctic, 
follicular thyroid, papillary thyroid, parotid, appendiceal carcinoma, papillary 
renal cell carcinoma and mesothelioma.6,11-13 
 
2.3.2 
Phase 2 and 3 Studies 
In a phase II study in patients with relapsed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), 
patients were treated with either 125 or 175 mg of XL184 on a daily schedule. 
Interim results from 124 patients revealed progression free survival at 6 months 
(PFS6) in the 175 mg cohort was 21% for all patients. Overall response rate (ORR) 
in patients without prior antiangiogenic therapy (n=34) was 21% and 8% in 
patients who had previously received antiangiogenic drugs. Median duration of 
response was 5.9 months (range 1.9-12.8). In the 125 mg cohort, ORR in patients 
who had not received prior antiangiogenic therapy (n=25) was 32% and mediation 
duration of response had not been met. The most frequent grade 3 /4 AEs were 
fatigue, diarrhea, transaminitis, headache, and PPE. Patients in the 125 mg cohort 
had fewer dose reductions and lower rates of drug discontinuation with similar 
signs of activity.14 
In a phase 2 randomized discontinuation study in patients with advanced solid 
tumors 531 patients have been enrolled as of August 2011. Forty patients (8%) 
have had a confirmed PR, 17 ovarian, 7 prostate, 6 NSCLC, 4 melanoma, 3 HCC, 
2 breast and 1 SCLC. Fifty four percent of patients experienced disease control 
(PR + SD) at week 12.6,15  
Data from an ongoing phase III study in adults with medullary thyroid carcinoma 
(MTC) showed an increase in progression free survival in the XL184 arm 
compared to placebo. In this study 330 patients (median age 55 yrs (67% male) 
with RET mutation status: pos 48%; negative 12%; unknown 39%) with 
unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic MTC were randomized 2:1 to receive 
either XL184 or placebo in a double-blind randomized fashion. Statistically 
significant PFS prolongation of 7.2 months was observed; median PFS for XL184 
was 11.2 mo vs. 4.9 months with placebo (p<0.0001).  The ORR was 28% for 
XL184 and 0% for placebo (p<0.0001).16 
Ongoing studies with XL184 in adults include phase II studies for various solid

tumors including prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, breast cancer and phase 
III studies in adults with MTC, and adults with prostate cancer.  
 
2.3.3 
Pharmacology/Pharmacokinetics/Correlative and Biological Studies 
Pharmacokinetic studies in adults show dose-proportional increases in maximal 
concentration (Cmax) and drug exposure (AUC) from 0.08 to 11.52 mg/kg. Steady-
state (Day 19) Cmax in the initial phase I study at the MTD of 175mg capsule daily 
(n=19) was 2,310 ng/ml and AUC was 41,600 ng∙h/ml. Steady-state Cmax for 
patients with GBM treated with single agent XL184 at a dose of 175mg/d was 1950 
± 1050 ng/ml (n=27) and 1350 ± 589 ng/ml for patients treated with 125mg/d 
(n=78). Half-life is reported to be between 58 and 136 hours.6,11,13  
Effect of Food on the Bioavailability of cabozantinib in Healthy Adult Subjects 
(Study XL184-004). Study XL184-004 is a Phase 1, open-label, randomized, 
single-dose, two-treatment, two way crossover study to assess the effect of food 
on the bioavailability of cabozantinib in healthy adult subjects. According to a 
randomization scheme, 56 subjects received single oral doses of the assigned 
treatment of Test (175 mg cabozantinib, dosed as one 100 mg capsule and three 25 
mg capsules 30 minutes after administration of a high fat breakfast) or Reference 
(175 mg cabozantinib, dosed as one 100 mg capsule and three 25 mg capsules 
under fasting conditions). Blood samples were collected up to 504 hours post dose 
for each subject after each treatment to assess plasma cabozantinib 
pharmacokinetics.  
Based on the preliminary PK data from 46 subjects who completed both 
treatments, a high fat meal did not appear to alter the terminal t1/2, z of 
cabozantinib [mean t1/2, z : 131 hours (fed) vs. 128 hours (fasted)]. The high fat 
meal significantly increased the median tmax to 6 hours from 4 hours (fasted). The 
high fat meal also significantly increased both the cabozantinib Cmax and AUC 
values by 39% and 56%, respectively. The geometric mean ratio of Cmax 
fed/fasted was 1.39 (90% CI: 1.16-1.67), and the geometric mean ratio of AUC0-
last fed/fasted was 1.56 (90% CI: 1.34-1.80). Based on this result, cabozantinib 
should be taken on an empty stomach (fasting is required 2 hours before and 1 hour 
after each cabozantinib dose). 
Preliminary results from a clinical pharmacology study, XL184-006, showed that 
concurrent administration of cabozantinib with the strong CYP3A4 inducer, 
rifampin, resulted in an approximately 80% reduction in cabozantinib exposure 
(AUC values) after a single dose of cabozantinib in healthy volunteers.  Co-
administration of cabozantinib with strong inducers of the CYP3A4 family (e.g., 
dexamethasone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentin, 
phenobarbital, and St. John’s Wort) may significantly decrease cabozantinib 
concentrations.  The chronic use of strong CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided.  
Other drugs that induce CYP3A4 should be used with caution because these drugs 
have the potential to decrease exposure (AUC) to cabozantinib (e.g., chronic use 
of modafinil) should be avoided because of its potential to reduce cabozantinib 
exposure.  Selection of alternate concomitant medications with no or minimal 
CYP3A4 enzyme induction potential is recommended.  In addition, caution must 
be used when discontinuing treatment with a strong CYP3A4 inducer in a subject 
who has been concurrently receiving a stable dose of cabozantinib, as this could 
significantly increase the exposure to cabozantinib.

Preliminary results from a clinical pharmacology study, XL184-007, showed that 
concurrent administration of cabozantinib with the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, 
ketoconazole, resulted in a 33-39% increase in the cabozantinib exposure (AUC 
values) after a single dose of cabozantinib in healthy volunteers.  Co-
administration of cabozantinib with strong inhibitors of the CYP3A4 family (e.g., 
ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, indinavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, and 
ritonavir) may increase cabozantinib concentrations.  Grapefruit / grapefruit juice 
and Seville oranges may also increase plasma concentrations of cabozantinib.  
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and other drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 should be used 
with caution because these drugs have the potential to increase exposure (AUC) to 
cabozantinib. Selection of alternate concomitant medications with no or minimal 
CYP3A4 enzyme inhibition potential is recommended. 
Pharmacodynamic evaluation showed significantly increased PGF, VEGF-A, 
soluble MET and EPO and decreased sVEGFR2 in patient plasma after initiation 
of treatment with XL184.11 Preliminary analyses showed that baseline levels of 
Ang2, EPO and OPN significantly correlated with tumor response in a variety of 
tumor types (MTC, melanoma, colorectal carcinoma and others).6  Analysis of hair 
samples as surrogate markers revealed significant decreases in phosphorylated 
MET and downstream targets AKT and ERK (25-54%, 20-59% and 29-49% 
decrease from baseline, respectively).6

Pediatric Studies 
 
2.4.1 
Prior Experience in Children  
There is no prior experience with XL184 in the pediatric population.  
 
2.5 
Overview of Proposed Pediatric Study 
This is a phase 1 limited dose-escalation study of XL184 (cabozantinib) in pediatric and 
adolescent patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors including CNS tumors. The 
primary objectives of this study are to identify a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or 
recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), characterize the toxicity profile and describe the 
pharmacokinetics of XL184 in pediatric and adolescent patients with solid tumors. 
 
Patients ages 2 to 18, inclusive, with refractory or recurrent solid tumors including CNS 
tumors will be eligible. Dosing will be based on body surface area (BSA) and rounded to 
nearest tablet to achieve the most accurate weekly doses. Doses on some days of the week 
may differ. Refer to dosing nomogram in Appendix II for details. XL184 will be 
administered orally at a starting dose of 30 mg/m2/day, which is roughly equivalent to the 
well tolerated 60 mg daily dose currently being evaluated in several adult studies. Doses 
will then be escalated to 40 mg/m2 and 55 mg/m2 in subsequent cohorts. One cycle will be 
28 days in length and dosing will be continuous. The dose will be escalated using a rolling 
six design. 
 
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be determined from toxicities seen during the 
first cycle of therapy. The MTD will be the dose level immediately below the level in which 
≥ 2 out of 2 to 6 patients experience a DLT. To be eligible for the toxicity endpoint, patients 
must have received ≥ 85% of the prescribed study medication or have experienced a DLT 
during cycle 1.  
 


                           
ADVL1211 
THIS PROTOCOL IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, SEE PAGE 1 FOR USAGE POLICY 
 
Page 13 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
Doses will not be escalated beyond 55 mg/m2. If an MTD is not identified, a recommended 
dose will be established based on tolerability, pharmacokinetic parameters and response, if 
applicable. After the MTD or recommended phase 2 dose is determined in Part A, an 
additional 6 patients may be enrolled in an expansion phase and treated at this dose to gain 
additional PK and toxicity data in the pediatric population. Every attempt will be made to 
treat a minimum of 6 patients < 12 years of age and 6 patients ≥ 12 years of age at the MTD 
or recommended phase 2 dose. Given the activity seen in patients with medullary thyroid 
carcinoma (MTC), an additional cohort for MTC patients (Part B) will be open for 
enrollment if slots are filled for Part A, with the goal of enrolling at least four patients with 
MTC.  
 
Intra-patient dose-escalation will be allowed for patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma 
(MTC) remaining on study once an MTD or recommended dose is determined to allow 
patients who may be on study for extended periods of time, i.e. patients with MTC, the 
opportunity to receive the recommended dose.  
 
Pharmacokinetic sampling will be performed before drug administration, day 21-cycle 1 
for steady state parameters, pre C3, if possible at any time a patient experiences a DLT, pre 
C4 and with each disease evaluation for patients enrolled after Amendment #5A. 
Pharmacokinetic parameters including maximum concentration (Cmax) with the first dose 
and at steady state, area under the concentration time curve (AUC), apparent clearance and 
trough concentration will be measured or calculated. 
 
Given the antiangiogenic targeting of XL184 and concern for possible impact on growth 
in children, linear growth will be monitored and a baseline tibial x-ray for all patients, then 
prior to C2 and C5 and then 6 months later for patients with open growth plates remaining 
on study. MRIs will be obtained for patients with abnormal radiograph findings of the 
growth plate.   
 
Disease evaluations will be conducted after every other cycle starting after the end of cycle 
1 and then every third cycle if the patient has stable disease or better for 2 sets of restaging.  
 
Pharmacodynamic studies looking at markers of angiogenesis and components of the 
cMET pathway will be conducted. VEGF-A, soluble VEGFR2 (sVEGFR2), hepatocyte 
growth factor (HGF) and soluble MET (sMET) will be measured prior to and following 
XL184 dosing and expression of c-MET in archival tumor samples will be measured.  
 
2.6 
Amendment to Open PK Expansion (January 2014) 
As of January 2014, a total of 29 patients have been enrolled on ADVL1211: 6 patients at 
Dose Level 1, 11 patients at Dose Level 2 and 12 patients at Dose Level 3. During the dose 
escalation phase (Part A) during Cycle 1, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred in 0/6 
patients at 30 and 40 mg/m2 and 1/6 patients at 55 mg/m2 (Grade 3 fatigue and headache).  
Other Cycle 1 DLTs in expansion cohorts included Grade 2 palmar plantar 
erythrodysesthesia (PPE) and oral mucositis in 1 patient at 40 mg/m2, Grade 3 proteinuria 
and Grade 2 hypertension (HTN) in 1 patient at 55 mg/m2, and Grade 3 HTN and reversible 
posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome in 1 patient at 55mg/m2.  Later cycle DLTs 
occurred in 10 patients at all dose levels and included Grade 3 weight loss (n=2), Grade 3 
PPE (n=2), Grade 3 and 4 lipase increase (n=1 each), Grade 4 neutropenia (n=1),  Grade 2 
fatigue (n=1), Grade 2 arthralgia (n=1) and  Grade 3 anorexia, dyspnea, skin ulcer (n=1).  
 
Pharmacokinetic studies conducted in 18 patients during the dose-escalation phase showed

that cabozantinib exposure was not dose proportional.  The mean ± SD steady state AUC0-
24h at 30 mg/m2 (n=6), 40 mg/m2 (n=6) and 55 mg/m2 (n=6) was 31.9 ± 7.8, 33.3 ± 11.3 and 
33.7 ± 15 µg•h/mL, respectively. Given the toxicities seen at Dose Level 3 and in later 
cycles and comparable exposure of cabozantinib, the recommended Phase 2 dose for 
further evaluation in pediatric patients with solid tumors is 40 mg/m2 (Dose Level 2) and 
enrollment will be expanded at this dose level to gain additional pharmacokinetic and 
safety information in at least 6 patients under the age of 12 and 6 patients between 12 and 
18 years of age. We will also collect trough levels with each disease evaluation in all 
patients enrolled after Amendment #5A to gain additional information about steady state 
pharmacokinetics.-COMPLETE

Dose Assignment 
The dose level will be assigned via OPEN at the time of study enrollment. 
 
4.0 
PATIENT ELIGIBILITY  
 
All clinical and laboratory studies to determine eligibility must be performed within 7 days prior to 
enrollment unless otherwise indicated. Laboratory values used to assess eligibility must be no older 
than seven (7) days at the start of therapy.  Laboratory tests need not be repeated if therapy starts 
within seven (7) days of obtaining labs to assess eligibility.  If a post-enrollment lab value is outside 
the limits of eligibility, or laboratory values are older than 7 days, then the following laboratory 
evaluations must be re-checked within 48 hours prior to initiating therapy: CBC with differential, 
bilirubin, ALT (SGPT) and serum creatinine.  If the recheck is outside the limits of eligibility, the 
patient may not receive protocol therapy and will be considered off protocol therapy. Imaging 
studies must be obtained within 14 days prior to start of protocol therapy (repeat the tumor imaging 
if necessary).  
  
Clarification in timing when counting days: As an example, please note that if the patient’s last day 
of prior therapy is September 1st, and the protocol requires waiting at least 7 days for that type of 
prior therapy, then that patient cannot be enrolled until September 8th.   
 
Important note: The eligibility criteria listed below are interpreted literally and cannot be 
waived (per COG policy posted 5/11/01).  All clinical and laboratory data required for 
determining eligibility of a patient enrolled on this trial must be available in the patient’s 
medical or research record which will serve as the source document for verification at the 
time of audit.

TREATMENT PROGRAM 
 
5.1 
Overview of Treatment Plan 
Treatment Schedule Table 
Time 
Agent 
Days 1-28 
Oral XL184*  
*Refer to dosing nomogram in Appendix II for dosing schedule. 
 
XL184 will be administered orally at approximately the same time as prescribed. XL184 
should be taken on an empty stomach; patients should fast 2 hours before and 1 hour after 
taking the drug. Tablets should not be crushed or chewed; tablets should be swallowed whole. 
See also Section 9.1.6 for medications and foods to be avoided. 
 
A cycle of therapy is considered to be 28 days.   
 
Drug doses should be adjusted based on the BSA calculated from height and actual body 
weight measured within 7 days prior to the beginning of each cycle, and according to the 
dosing nomogram (see Appendix II).  Sites will fill out the number of prescribed tablets 
per day in the patient diary (see Appendix III). Patients must complete the patient diary 
with the date, time and number of XL184 tablets taken each day. The patient diary should 
be reviewed after completion of each treatment cycle. 
 
If a patient vomits after the dose of XL184 is administered, the dose should not be repeated. 
 
If a dose of XL184 is missed and less than 6 hours have passed since the scheduled dosing 
time, the dose should be taken immediately. If more than 6 hours have passed since the 
scheduled dosing time, the patient should not take the missed dose but should wait and take 
the next regularly scheduled dose. 
 
5.2 
Criteria for Starting Subsequent Cycles 
A cycle may be repeated every 28 days if the patient has at least stable disease, has again 
met laboratory parameters as defined in the eligibility sections 4.1.8.1- 4.1.8.3 and 4.1.8.5, 
and has not experienced study-drug related adverse events warranting permanent 
discontinuation.

Version Date: 1/31/2019 
Patients who have a delay in starting subsequent cycles for resolution of toxicity should 
also have the required observations in Section 8.1 until the start of the next cycle.   
 
5.3 
Dose Escalation Schema 
 
5.3.1 
Inter-Patient Escalation- (Part A) COMPLETE 
The starting dose will be 30 mg/m2 (Dose Level 1) with dose levels for 
subsequent groups of patients as follows. 
 
Dose Level 
XL184 Dose (mg/m2 po daily) 
-1 
23 
   1* 
30

40 
 3 
55 
* Starting Dose Level 
 
There will be no escalations beyond dose level 3 (55 mg/m2). 
 
If the MTD has been exceeded at the first dose level, then the subsequent cohort of 
patients will be treated at a dose of 23 mg/m2 (Dose Level -1).  
 
With Amendment #5A, patients enrolled onto Part A of the study will be treated 
at the recommended Phase 2 dose, which has been determined to be Dose Level 
2 (40 mg/m2). 
 
5.3.2 
Part B: Patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) can be accrued to a 
separate stratum if there are no available slots on Part A. These patients will be 
enrolled at one dose level below the dose level at which patients on Part A are 
actively enrolling, or at the starting dose level (Dose Level 1) if dose escalation 
has not yet occurred.    COMPLETE 
 
With Amendment #5A, patients enrolled onto Part B of the study will be treated 
at the recommended Phase 2 dose, which has been determined to be Dose Level 
2 (40 mg/m2). 
 
5.3.3 
Intra-Patient Escalation (Patients with MTC only) 
Intra-patient dose escalation will be allowed for patients with MTC remaining on 
study in cycles of therapy subsequent to Cycle 1, once an MTD or recommended 
Phase 2 dose is identified, if the patient has not experienced dose-limiting toxicity 
at the dose at which they began therapy. Patients who are one dose level below the 
MTD can escalate to the MTD. Patients who are more than one dose level below 
the MTD can escalate one dose level per cycle until they reach the MTD as long 
as they do not experience a DLT when escalating. Sites have to confirm with the 
Study Chair and the COG Phase 1 Operations office that their patient may proceed 
with an intra-patient dose escalation following the completion of Cycle 1 or 
subsequent cycles.   COMPLETE 
 
5.4 
Grading of Adverse Events 
Adverse events (toxicities) will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.  All appropriate treatment areas should 
have access to a copy of the CTCAE version 4.0.  A copy of the CTCAE version 4.0 can 
be downloaded from the CTEP website (http://ctep.cancer.gov). Any suspected or 
confirmed dose-limiting toxicity should be reported immediately (within 24 hours) to the

Study Chair. 
 
5.5 
Definition of Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) 
DLT will be defined as any of the following events that are possibly, probably or definitely 
attributable to XL184. The DLT observation period for the purposes of dose-escalation will 
be the first cycle of therapy. Any drug-related toxicity that requires a dose reduction in 
Cycle 1 will also be considered a DLT. 
 
Dose limiting hematological and non-hematological toxicities are defined differently.   
 
 
5.5.1 
Non-Hematological Dose-Limiting Toxicity 
 
5.5.1.1 Any Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-hematological toxicity attributable to the 
investigational drug with the specific exclusion of: 
• 
Grade 3 nausea and vomiting of < 3 days duration 
• 
Grade 3 diarrhea ≤ 3 days duration 
• 
Grade 3 liver enzyme elevation, including ALT/AST/GGT/bilirubin, 
that return to levels that meet initial eligibility criteria or baseline 
within 7 days of study drug interruption and that does not recur upon 
re-challenge with XL184. Note: For the purposes of this study the 
ULN for ALT is defined as 45 U/L. See section 6.6 for dose 
modifications for liver toxicity. 
• 
Grade 3 or 4 fever < 5 days duration. 
• 
Grade 3 infection < 5 days duration. 
• 
Grade 3 hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia or 
hypomagnesemia responsive to supplementation 
• 
Grade 3 asymptomatic amylase or lipase elevation that resolves to ≤ 
Grade 1 within 7 days of study drug interruption and that does not 
recur upon re-challenge with XL184.  See section 6.7 for dose 
modifications for pancreatic toxicity. 
• 
Grade 3 proteinuria (urine protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio > 1.9) unless 
it is confirmed with a second measurement within 72 hours.  
 
5.5.1.2 Dose-limiting hypertension 
• 
Any Grade 4 hypertension 
• 
A blood pressure >25 mmHg above the 95th percentile for age, 
height, and gender (Appendix VIII) confirmed by repeated 
measurement is dose limiting. 
• 
In patients who begin antihypertensive therapy a blood pressure > 10 
mmHg but ≤ 25 mmHg above the 95th percentile for age, height, and 
gender (Appendix VIII) for > 14 days is dose limiting. 
 
5.5.1.3 QTc prolongation > 500 ms that persists despite correction of serum 
electrolyte abnormalities will be considered dose limiting. 
 
5.5.1.4 Any Grade 2 non-hematological toxicity that persists for ≥ 7 days and is 
considered sufficiently medically significant or sufficiently intolerable by 
patients that it requires treatment interruption. 
 
5.5.1.5 Any toxicity requiring interruption of study drug during a cycle of therapy 


                           
ADVL1211 
THIS PROTOCOL IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, SEE PAGE 1 FOR USAGE POLICY

Version Date: 1/31/2019 
for ≥ 7 days or which recurs upon drug challenge. 
 
5.5.1.6 Note: Allergic reactions that necessitate discontinuation of study drug will 
not be considered a dose-limiting toxicity. 
 
5.5.2 
Hematological dose limiting toxicity  
 
5.5.2.1 Hematological dose limiting toxicity is defined as: 
 
• 
In patients evaluable for hematological toxicity (see Section 
4.1.8.1), Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 25,000/mm3) 
or Grade 4 neutropenia (see Section 6.1), not due to malignant 
infiltration. 
• 
Myelosuppression that causes a delay of > 14 days between 
treatment cycles.  
• 
In patients with CNS tumors, requirement of platelet 
transfusion(s) for platelets ≤ 50,000/mm3 on more than one 
occasion during a cycle will be considered a DLT. I.e. If a patient 
with a CNS tumor requires more than one platelet transfusion to 
achieve a count > 50,000/mm3 (poor initial response, etc.) on one 
occasion this is not a DLT, but if it occurs again during the cycle, 
it will be dose limiting.

6.0 
DOSE MODIFICATIONS FOR ADVERSE EVENTS 
 
The Study Chair must be notified of any dosage modification or use of myeloid growth 
factor. If a patient’s dose is reduced due to toxicity, any future XL184 total weekly dose 
should not exceed a previously un-tolerated dose. 
 
6.1 
Dose Modifications for Hematological Toxicity 
 
6.1.1 
If a patient experiences dose-limiting Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, 
the treatment will be withheld. Counts should be checked every 3 - 4 days for 
thrombocytopenia and every other day for neutropenia during this time. If the 
toxicity resolves to meet eligibility parameters within 14 days of drug 
discontinuation, the patient may resume treatment at the next lower dose level 
(See Appendix IIB). Doses reduced for toxicity will not be re-escalated, even if 
there is minimal or no toxicity with the reduced dose.  
 
6.1.2 
If dose-limiting toxicity does not resolve to meet eligibility or baseline 
parameters within 14 days of drug discontinuation, the patient must be removed 
from protocol therapy. 
 
6.1.3 
Two dose reductions will be allowed for toxicity. If a patient experiences a dose-
limiting toxicity after two dose reductions, they must be removed from protocol 
therapy. 
 
6.2 
Dose Modifications for Non-Hematological Toxicity 
 
6.2.1 
If a patient experiences non-hematological dose-limiting toxicity as defined in 
Section 5.5.1, the treatment will be withheld. If the toxicity resolves to meet 
eligibility or baseline parameters within 14 days of drug discontinuation, the 
patient may resume treatment at the next lower dose level (See Appendix IIB). 
Doses reduced for toxicity will not be re-escalated, even if there is minimal or no 
toxicity with the reduced dose. 
 
6.2.2 
If dose-limiting toxicity does not resolve to meet eligibility or baseline 
parameters within 14 days of drug discontinuation, the patient must be removed 
from protocol therapy.  
 
6.2.2.1 The exception to this is Grade 3 weight loss as it is unlikely that the patient 
would return to baseline within 14 days. Patients who experience Grade 3 
weight loss may resume study medication after 14 days with a dose-
reduction (see Appendix II-B) if the patient is deriving benefit from 
therapy, the weight loss has stabilized and the treating physician feels it is 
in the best interest of the patient. Patients should be removed from protocol 
therapy if their weight loss is ≥ 20% from baseline and persists for ≥ 28 
days after the introduction of supplemental NG/G tube feeding or TPN. 
 
6.2.3 
Two dose reductions will be allowed for toxicity. If a patient experiences a dose-
limiting toxicity after two dose reductions, they must be removed from protocol 
therapy. 
 
 
6.3 
Dose Modifications for Proteinuria

• If urinalysis shows ≥ trace protein then obtain UPC.   
• If the urine protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio ≤ 1.9 continue XL184. If patient has 
Grade 3 proteinuria (urine protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio > 1.9), a second 
measurement should be obtained within 72 hours. A second confirmation of 
Grade 3 proteinuria will be considered a DLT. 
• If the second measurement confirms Grade 3 proteinuria (urine 
protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio > 1.9), then interrupt XL184 treatment and re-
assess weekly.   
• If XL184 is held for ≥ 14 days then remove from protocol therapy.  If the urine 
protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio decreases to ≤ 1.9 in < 14 days then resume 
XL184 at a lower dose as outlined in Section 6.2.1.  
• Monitor the UPC weekly for 2 consecutive weeks once protocol therapy 
resumes.   
 
6.4 
Dose Modifications for Hypertension 
 
• Baseline blood pressure (BP) is defined as the blood pressure obtained at the 
examination used for study enrollment. This baseline BP should be obtained as 
follows: 1) Obtain 3 serial blood pressures from the same extremity with the 
patient in the same position at rest with an appropriately sized cuff that are 
separated by at least 5 minutes. Avoid using the lower extremity if possible. 2) 
Average the systolic blood pressure from the 2nd and 3rd measurements. 3) 
Average the diastolic blood pressure from the 2nd and 3rd measurements. 4) The 
baseline BP is the average of the systolic over the average of the diastolic 
measurements. 
• Elevation in either the systolic or diastolic blood pressure should be considered 
when following the algorithm below. 
• The upper limit of normal (ULN) is defined as a BP equal to the 95th 
percentile for age, height, and gender. See Appendix VIII. 
• The NCI CTCAE will be utilized to determine the grade of hypertension for 
reporting purposes. 
• Elevated BP measurements should be repeated on the same day to confirm the 
elevation. If confirmed, patients with elevated BP should have BP 
measurements performed at least twice weekly until BP is ≤ ULN. 
• The algorithm below will be used to manage XL184- related hypertension. 
• Hypertension should be managed with appropriate anti-hypertensive agent(s) 
as clinically indicated. It is strongly recommended that nephrology or 
cardiology be consulted in the evaluation and management of hypertension.

Arm 1 of algorithm: 
• 
If blood pressure (BP) ≤ 95% for age, height, and gender, continue XL184 at the same 
dose. 
 
Arm 2 of algorithm: 
• 
If BP ≤ 10 mm Hg above the ULN for age, height, and gender, continue XL184 at the 
same dose and recheck the BP within 72 hours. 
o If the BP is ≤ ULN on recheck, continue XL184 at the same dose. 
o If the BP remains above the ULN on recheck, then start antihypertensive therapy 
(Section 7.7) and follow Arm 3 of the algorithm from the point that anti-
hypertensive therapy is started. 
 
Arm 3 of algorithm: 
• 
If BP is 11 to 25 mm Hg above the 95% for age, height, and gender on ≥ 2 of 3 
measurements or > 35 mmHg above baseline on ≥ 2 of 3 measurements, start anti-
hypertensive therapy (see Section 7.7), continue XL184 at the same dose, and monitor 
BP at least twice weekly. 
o If the BP returns to ≤ ULN within 14 days, continue XL184 at the same dose and 
continue anti-hypertensive therapy.

o If the BP remains elevated ≤ 25 mm Hg above the 95% or > 35 mm Hg above 
baseline for more than 14 days after the institution of anti-hypertensive therapy, 
hold XL184, monitor BP at least every 3 days, and follow Arm 4 of the algorithm 
from the point that XL184 is held. The antihypertensive therapy should be 
continued until the BP is less than the ULN. 
▪ 
If the BP returns to ≤ ULN within 14 days, restart XL184 at a reduced dose 
(Section 6.1.1). 
▪ 
If the BP remains > ULN for more than 14 days, patient is Off Protocol 
Therapy. 
o  If the BP increases to > 25 mm Hg above the ULN despite anti-hypertensive 
therapy, hold XL184, but continue the anti-hypertensive agent(s). Monitor the BP 
as clinically indicated and follow Arm 4 of the algorithm from the point that 
XL184 is held. 
▪ 
If the BP is ≤ ULN within 14 days, XL184 may be restarted at a reduced dose 
(Section 6.2.2). 
▪ 
If the BP is > ULN for > 14 days, the patient is Off Protocol Therapy (Section 
10.1). 
 
Arm 4 of algorithm: 
• 
If BP is > 25 mm Hg above the 95% for age, height, and gender hold XL184, monitor 
BP and administer anti-hypertensive therapy as clinically indicated. 
o If the BP returns to ≤ ULN within 14 days, XL184 may be restarted at a reduced 
dose (Section 6.2.2). 
o If the BP is > ULN for >14 days, the patient is Off Protocol Therapy (Section 10.1). 
 
Arm 5 of algorithm: 
• 
If the participant develops Grade 4 hypertension, discontinue XL184, monitor BP and 
administer anti-hypertensive therapy as clinically indicated. The patient is Off Protocol 
Therapy (Section 10.1). 
 
 
6.5 
Dose Modifications for DVT  
If a patient develops a DVT while on study, XL184 should be held until adequate 
anticoagulation is established. Full dose anticoagulation with warfarin is not permitted.  
Heparins should be used for anticoagulation. The drug may be resumed with a dose 
reduction if the DVT is dose-limiting (i.e. ≥ grade 3) and if the patient is deriving clinical 
benefit. 
 
6.6 
Dose Modifications for Liver Toxicity 
XL184 should be held for grade 3 elevation of ALT, AST or bilirubin. Note: For the 
purposes of this trial the ULN for ALT is defined as 45 U/L. XL184 may be re-administered 
at the same dose if levels of ALT, AST and bilirubin meet eligibility criteria or baseline 
within 7 days of drug discontinuation. Elevated laboratory parameters should be checked 
at least twice weekly until eligibility criteria is met.  
 
If lab values do not resolve to initial eligibility criteria or baseline within 7 days of 
interruption or if toxicity recurs with re-challenge, then this will be considered dose-
limiting per section 5.5.1.  XL184 will then be dose-reduced according to Section 6.2.1 
when eligibility criteria is met.

Version Date: 1/31/2019 
6.7 
Dose Modifications for Pancreatic Toxicity 
XL184 should be held if patient experiences Grade 3 asymptomatic amylase or lipase 
elevation. Elevated laboratory parameters should be checked at least twice weekly until ≤ 
Grade 1. 
 
If lab values do not resolve to ≤ 1 Grade within 7 days of interruption or if toxicity recurs 
with re-challenge, then this will be considered dose-limiting per section 5.5.1. XL184 will 
then be dose-reduced according to Section 6.2.1 when eligibility criteria is met. 
 
6.8 
Dose Modifications for Diarrhea 
See Appendix XIV for specific guidelines for supportive care measures for patients who 
develop therapy-associated diarrhea.  
• 
If dose-limiting Grade 3 (> 3 days) or Grade 4 therapy-associated diarrhea is 
experienced by a patient despite maximal use of anti-diarrheal medications, the 
dose of XL184 should be reduced per Appendix IIB.  
 
7.0 
SUPPORTIVE CARE AND OTHER CONCOMITANT THERAPY 
 
7.1 
Concurrent Anticancer Therapy 
Concurrent cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or 
biologic therapy may NOT be administered to patients receiving study drug. If these 
treatments are administered the patient will be removed from protocol therapy. 
 
7.2 
Investigational Agents 
No other investigational agents may be given while the patient is on study. 
 
7.3 
Supportive Care 
Appropriate antibiotics, blood products, antiemetics, fluids, electrolytes and general 
supportive care are to be used as necessary. See Section 7.5 for drugs that should not be used 
concomitantly due to potential interactions with XL184. 
 
Diarrhea is a common side effect of XL184. Loperamide should be used at the first sign of 
significant diarrhea (See Appendix XIV).  
 
Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (PPE; also known as hand-foot syndrome) is a 
common side effect of XL184. Careful attention should be paid to skin exams and supportive 
care instituted early if any swelling or erythematous skin changes or symptoms of pain or 
burning/tingling are noted. Patients should be instructed to apply moisturizing creams, avoid 
any trauma, harsh chemicals and limit hot water exposure. Topical steroid creams may be used 
and consider early dermatology referral.   
 
7.4 
Growth Factors 
Growth factors that support platelet or white cell number or function can only be 
administered for culture proven bacteremia or invasive fungal infection. The Study Chair 
should be notified before growth factors are initiated. 
 
7.5 
Concomitant Medications 
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2-antagonists should be avoided if possible (See Section 
9.1.6).  
 
Medications that are strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 should be avoided (see 


                           
ADVL1211 
THIS PROTOCOL IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, SEE PAGE 1 FOR USAGE POLICY 
 
Page 30 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
Appendix IX). Corticosteroids may induce CYP3A4 and are therefore not routinely 
recommended on study unless deemed absolutely necessary or when used in stable or 
decreasing doses from the time of study enrollment. 
 
The use of enzyme inducing anticonvulsants is not permitted. See Appendix XIII for a list 
of 
unacceptable 
enzyme 
inducing 
and 
recommended 
non-enzyme 
inducing 
anticonvulsants. 
 
XL184 has been associated with prolonged QTc, so medications that prolong QTc are 
prohibited and medications that may prolong QTc should be avoided when possible (see 
Appendix XV). 
 
7.6 
Surgery 
Patients should not have elective surgical procedures while on therapy. For patients who 
require emergent or urgent procedures, therapy may not be restarted until 28 days after 
major procedures and 7 days after minor procedures such as line replacement (3 days for 
external lines [e.g. Hickman or Broviac]), as detailed in section 4.2.6. 
 
7.7 
Concurrent Anti-Hypertensive Therapy 
The algorithm in Section 6.4 will be used to grade and manage XL184 related hypertension. 
Should initiation of anti-hypertensive therapy be required, single agent therapy (commonly 
including the calcium channel blockers amlodipine or nifedipine, which are permissible 
without discussion with the study chair) should be started and the blood pressure should be 
monitored at least twice weekly until BP is within the 95th percentile for age, height, and 
gender per Section 6.4. 
 
 
7.8 
Management of Hypothyroidism 
Patients with Grade 2 hypothyroidism adequately managed with thyroid hormone 
replacement may continue on protocol therapy. Patients with Grade 3 or greater 
hypothyroidism will be considered to have had a dose-limiting toxicity. These patients 
should be managed according to Section 6.2 and should also be evaluated by an 
endocrinologist for further management. Patients who enter the study on thyroid 
replacement should have their medication adjusted to maintain TSH in the normal range.

EVALUATIONS/MATERIAL AND DATA TO BE ACCESSIONED 
 
8.1 
Required Clinical, Laboratory and Disease Evaluation 
All clinical and laboratory studies to determine eligibility must be performed within 7 days prior to enrollment unless otherwise indicated. 
Laboratory values used to assess eligibility (see Section 4.0) must be no older than seven (7) days at the start of therapy.  Laboratory tests 
need not be repeated if therapy starts within seven (7) days of obtaining labs to assess eligibility.  If a post-enrollment lab value is outside 
the limits of eligibility, or laboratory values are older than 7 days, then the following laboratory evaluations must be re-checked within 48 
hours prior to initiating therapy: CBC with differential, bilirubin, ALT (SGPT) and serum  creatinine.  If the recheck is outside the limits of 
eligibility, the patient may not receive protocol therapy and will be considered off protocol therapy. Imaging studies must be obtained within 
14 days prior to start of protocol therapy (repeat the tumor imaging if necessary).

Studies may be obtained within 72 hours prior to the start of the subsequent cycle. 
^^    Required observations beginning 30 days, 6 months (± 14 days), and annually (± 30 days) following the last dose of investigational agent until patient is off 
study (see Section 10.2). 
1 
Blood pressure will be measured with an appropriate sized cuff at rest. Please note that 3 serial blood pressures should be obtained and averaged to determine 
baseline BP (See Section 6.4). Blood pressure measurement will be repeated within the same day if the blood pressure (BP) is elevated (> 95th percentile for 
age, height, and gender). If both BP measurements are > 95th percentile for age, height, and gender, follow the guidelines in Section 6.4. Patients with 
confirmed elevated BP at any time should have BP measurements performed at least twice weekly until BP is within the 95th percentile for age, height, and 
gender (See Appendix VIII). 
2 
Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use both a medically accepted barrier method of contraceptive 
method (e.g., male or female condom) and a second effective method of birth control during protocol therapy and for at least 4 months after the last dose of 
XL184.  Abstinence is an acceptable method of birth control. 
3 
If patients have Grade 4 neutropenia then CBCs should be checked at least every other day (see Section 6.1). 
4 
If patients develop Grade 4 thrombocytopenia then CBCs should be checked every 3 to 4 days (see Section 6.1). 
5 
See Appendix VII for UPC rationale and calculation and Section 6.3 for dose modifications if UPC > 1.9. If patient is being followed for prior proteinuria 
and UPC is obtained, urinalysis is not required.  If 24 hour urine for protein is obtained, both urinalysis and UPC are not required. If patient has Grade 3 
proteinuria (urine protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio >1.9), a second measurement should be obtained within 72 hours.  
6 
Patients found to have an abnormal TSH level should have a free T4 level measured.  
7 
Calcitonin measurements should be obtained in the fasting state.  
8 
Tumor Disease Evaluation should be obtained on the next consecutive cycle after initial documentation of either a PR or CR. Please note that for solid 
tumor patients, if the institutional investigator determines that the patient has progressed based on clinical or laboratory evidence, he/she may opt not to 
confirm this finding radiographically. 
9 
Plain radiographs of at least one tibial growth plate should be obtained in all patients prior to first dose of protocol therapy. In patients with open growth 
plates, follow-up plain radiographs of the same growth plate(s) should be obtained according to Section 8.2.1.

Patient diary (see Appendix III) should be reviewed and uploaded into RAVE weekly during Cycle 1, 
and then after completion of each treatment cycle. 
11 
See Section 8.4 and Appendix V for timing of PK studies. COMPLETE 
12 
See Section 8.5 for timing of Pharmacodynamic/Biomarker studies and details regarding tumor tissue 
submission. Archival tumor tissue should be submitted for all patients.  If a patient does not have tissue 
available, the study chair must be notified prior to enrollment. 
13 
Patients with prolonged QTc should have correctable causes of prolonged QTc addressed if possible, 
including medications (See Appx. XV) and correction of electrolyte abnormalities (incl. Ca++ and 
Mg++). If there is no evidence of QTc prolongation after completion of 6 cycles of therapy, further EKGs 
are not required. 
14 
Patients currently enrolled on Part B of the study should be evaluated every 6 months. 
15 
Patients currently enrolled on Part B of the study should be evaluated/have this test performed every 
other cycle. 
 
8.2 
Monitoring for Specific Toxicities 
 
8.2.1 
Growth Plate Toxicity 
Patients will have a plain AP radiograph of a single proximal tibial growth plate 
obtained prior to the first dose of protocol therapy.  
a. If patients are found to have a closed tibial growth plate, no further radiographs 
will be required.  
b. If patients are found to have an open tibial growth plate, then repeat plain AP 
radiographs of the same tibial growth plate will be obtained prior to cycles 2, 
5 and then every 6 months until off protocol therapy. 
• 
Patients with evidence of growth plate thickening or other changes should 
have a knee MRI performed to further assess the degree of physeal 
pathology and undergo more frequent x-ray follow up. MRI should be 
performed without contrast. 
• 
Patients with knee MRI changes should be managed in an individualized 
manner. Decisions regarding continuation of XL184 should be made after 
discussion with the Study Chair or Study Vice-Chair and DVL Leadership, 
taking into account the presence of any symptoms referable to the knee as 
well as the patient’s response to XL184. Consultation with an orthopedic 
surgeon may also be indicated. Plans for follow-up imaging will also be 
made on an individualized basis, taking into account the presence of 
symptoms at the knee or other joints as well as the decision to continue 
XL184 or not. 
 
8.2.2 
Thyroid Toxicity 
Patients will have a TSH level measured prior to initial treatment, once mid-cycle 
of Cycle 1 (Day 15-22), and prior to subsequent cycles. Patients found to have an 
abnormal TSH level should have a free T4 level measured. Thyroid toxicity will 
be handled like any other non-hematological toxicity. Guidance on the 
management of patients who develop hypothyroidism is included in Section 7.8. 
 
8.3 
Radiology Studies

date the sample is drawn. During Cycle 1, record the exact time the drug is 
administered. Record the actual date and time the last dose of drug was 
administered prior to the collection of trough samples (pre-Cycle 3, pre-Cycle 4 
and pre-Day 1 dose with each disease evaluation). 
 
8.4.4 
Sample Processing Instructions 
Tubes should be chilled on wet ice or in a refrigerator prior to collection. 
Immediately after blood collection, blood tubes should be inverted several times 
and then kept on wet ice until centrifuged. Within 30 minutes of blood collection, 
samples should be separated by centrifugation for 10 minutes (1000 - 1200 g) at 
approximately 4°C. The resultant plasma should be withdrawn in approximately 
equal volumes into two (2) appropriately labeled polypropylene tubes for PK assay 
and stored (within 1 hour of the blood sampling time) at -70°C or lower until 
shipment. The analyst should attempt to transfer the maximum amount of plasma 
without disturbing the barrier between the red blood cells (bottom layer) and the 
plasma (top layer). One tube is the primary sample; the other tube is the back-up 
sample. Refer to PK Manual provided by Exelixis for additional sample processing 
instructions. 
 
8.4.5 
Sample Labeling 
Each tube must be labeled with the patient’s I.D. and accession number, the 
study I.D. (ADVL1211), and the date and time the sample was drawn.  Data 
should be recorded on the Pharmacokinetic Study Form, which must accompany 
the sample(s). 
 
8.4.6 
Sample Shipping Instructions 
The primary samples collected for each subject should be shipped to Alturas Inc, 
on sufficient dry ice in an insulated container. Samples should be shipped between 
Monday and Wednesday for overnight delivery to ensure delivery to Alturas

tumor cells. Markers of bone homeostasis (eg serum bone-specific ALP, 
NTx, and CTx) may be monitored to assess the effects of cabozantinib on 
bone metabolism. Additional exploratory studies may be performed to 
characterize disease subtypes and potential biomarkers of response or 
resistance. Analyses may include but are not limited to quantification and 
genotyping of circulating plasma DNA, evaluation of micro RNAs, and 
analyses of additional soluble markers.   
 
 
8.5.1.2 Tumor Tissue Banking 
Archival tumor tissue slides should be submitted. If a patient does not 
have tissue available, the study chair must be notified prior to 
enrollment. Tumor analyses may involve evaluation of the signaling 
pathways related to cabozantinib targets (eg, VEGFR, MET, KIT, RET) 
and include methods such as genotyping, fluorescence in situ 
hybridization (FISH) and/or immunohistochemistry (IHC). Broader 
genome-wide copy number and mutation profiling may also be conducted.

9.1 
Cabozantinib 
(XL-184, Cabozantinib s-malate, EXEL-7184, EXEL-02977184) NSC# 761968    
  
9.1.1 
Structure and molecular weight  
The chemical name of cabozantinib is N-(4-[(6,7-dimethoxyquinolin-4-
yl)oxy]phenyl)-N’-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxamide, 
(2S)-
hydroxybutanedioate.  The molecular formula is C28H24FN3O5C4H6O5 and the 
molecular weight is 635.6.   
 
9.1.2 
Supplied by:  
Cabozantinib is supplied by Exelixis and distributed by the DCTD, NCI.   
 
9.1.3 
Formulation 
Cabozantinib is available in 20 mg and 60 mg tablets.  The yellow, film-coated tablets 
contain cabozantinib malate equivalent to 20 mg or 60 mg of cabozantinib.  The 20 
mg tablets have a round shape and the 60 mg tablets have an oval shape.    In active 
ingredients include the following: microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH-102), 
lactose anhydrous (60M), hydroxypropyl cellulose (EXF), croscarmellose sodium 
(Ac-Di-Sol), colloidal silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate.  Inactive 
components of the yellow film coating include HPMC 2910/hypromellose 6 cp, 
titanium dioxide, triacetin, and iron oxide yellow.   
 
9.1.4 
Storage 
Store intact bottles at controlled room temperature, 20° to 25°C. 
 
9.1.5 
Stability 
Stability testing of the intact bottles is on-going. Cabozantinib (XL184) should be 
dispensed in its original container. Cabozantinib (XL184) tablets are stable up to 24 
hours when dispensed in an open container, such as in a pill cup, and are stable for up 
to 7 days when dispensed in a closed container, such as a pharmacy dispensing bottle 
(i.e., one other than the original container).  
 
9.1.6 
Administration 
Take cabozantinib on an empty stomach; patients should fast 2 hours before and 1 
hour after taking the drug.  Do not crush or chew the tablets; tablets should be 
swallowed whole.  
 
Cabozantinib is a substrate of CYP3A4.  Coadministration of cabozantinib with 
medications that are strong inhibitors/inducers of CYP3A4 should be avoided. 
Examples of strong CYP3A4 inducers are rifampin, dexamethasone, phenytoin, 
carbamazepine, rifabutin, rifampentin, Phenobarbital, and St. John’s Wort. Strong 
CYP3A4 inhibitors are ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, indinavir, 
nefazodone, nelfinavir, and ritonavir. Refer to Section 7.5 regarding use of 
corticosteroids. Use alternative medications. Avoid grapefruit/ grapefruit juice, 
star fruit and Seville oranges while participating in this trial. Refer to Appendix 
IX for additional details. 
 
Cabozantinib is highly protein bound (99.9%).  Use caution when coadministering 
cabozantinib with medications that are highly protein-bound (e.g., diazepam,

furosemide, dicloxacillin, and propranolol).  Avoid administration of warfarin with 
cabozantinib as warfarin is highly protein-bound and has a very narrow therapeutic 
index. 
 
Avoid concomitant use of cabozantinib with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 -
antagonists if possible. The PPIs and H2 –antagonists may decrease cabozantinib 
plasma exposure levels and its effectiveness in humans. Examples of PPIs are 
omeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole, pantoprazole, and esomeprazole; examples of 
H2 –antagonists are ranitidine, famotidine, and nizatidine.  Cimetidine is a moderate 
CYP3A4 inhibitor.  Avoid using cimetidine with cabozatinib.  If needed, antacids are 
recommended for the initial treatment of dyspepsia or indigestion.  If antacids are not 
adequate, the use of H2 blockers (other than cimetidine) is preferred over PPIs. If 
antacids, H2 blockers, or PPIs are needed, take them at least 2 hours (preferably 4 
hours) after taking cabozantinib but at least 14 hours before the next dose of 
cabozantinib if possible. 
   
9.1.7 
Comprehensive Adverse Events and Potential Risks list (CAEPR) 
The Comprehensive Adverse Events and Potential Risks list (CAEPR) provides a 
single list of reported and/or potential adverse events (AE) associated with an agent 
using a uniform presentation of events by body system. In addition to the 
comprehensive list, a subset, the Specific Protocol Exceptions to Expedited 
Reporting (SPEER), appears in a separate column and is identified with bold and 
italicized text. This subset of AEs (SPEER) is a list of events that are protocol 
specific exceptions to expedited reporting to NCI (except as noted below). 
Refer to the 'CTEP, NCI Guidelines: Adverse Event Reporting Requirements' 
http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/docs/aeguide
lines.pdf for further clarification. Frequency is provided based on 2438 patients. 
Below is the CAEPR for XL184 (Cabozantinib s-malate). 
 
NOTE: Report AEs on the SPEER ONLY IF they exceed the grade noted in 
parentheses next to the AE in the SPEER.  If this CAEPR is part of a combination 
protocol using multiple investigational agents and has an AE listed on different 
SPEERs, use the lower of the grades to determine if expedited reporting is 
required.

9.2 
Agent Ordering and Agent Accountability 
NCI supplied agents may be requested by the Principal Investigator (or their authorized 
designee) at each participating institution.  Pharmaceutical Management Branch (PMB) 
policy requires that agent be shipped directly to the institution where the patient is to be 
treated.  PMB does not permit the transfer of agents between institutions (unless prior 
approval from PMB is obtained.) The CTEP assigned protocol number must be used for 
ordering all CTEP supplied investigational agents.  The responsible investigator at each 
participating institution must be registered with CTEP, DCTD through an annual 
submission of FDA form 1572 (Statement of Investigator), Curriculum Vitae, 
Supplemental Investigator Data Form (IDF), and Financial Disclosure Form (FDF).  If 
there are several participating investigators at one institution, CTEP supplied 
investigational agents for the study should be ordered under the name of one lead 
investigator at that institution. 
 
9.3 
Clinical Drug Request 
Active CTEP-registered investigators and investigator-designated shipping designees and 
ordering designees can submit agent requests through the PMB Online Agent Order 
Processing (OAOP) application. Access to OAOP requires the establishment of a CTEP 
Identity and Access Management (IAM) account and the maintenance of an “active” 
account status and a “current” password. For questions about drug orders, transfers, returns, 
or accountability, call or email PMB any time. Refer to the PMB’s website for specific 
policies and guidelines related to agent management.

Version Date: 1/31/2019 
The investigator, or a responsible party designated by the investigator, must maintain a 
careful record of the receipt, dispensing and final disposition of all agents received from 
the PMB using the appropriate NCI Investigational Agent (Drug) Accountability Record 
(DARF) available on the CTEP forms page. Store and maintain separate NCI 
Investigational Agent Accountability Records for each agent, strength, formulation and 
ordering investigator on this protocol.

STATISTICAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
 
11.1 
Sample Size and Study Duration 
 
Parts of the Study: 
Part A: Patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors including CNS tumors and 
excluding patients with medullary thyroid cancer 
Part B:  Patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC)       
 
A minimum of 2 evaluable patients will be entered at each dose level for determination of 
MTD or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in Part A. Once the MTD or RP2D has been 
defined, up to 6 additional patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors without heme 
restrictions may be enrolled to acquire PK data in a representative number of young 
patients (i.e. patients < 12 years old).  Review of the enrollment rate into previous COG 
new agent studies indicates that 1-2 patients per month are available, which will permit 
enrollment and determination of the MTD or RP2D within 15-29 months if all dose levels 
are studied with six evaluable patients. A maximum of 51 patients is anticipated in Part A, 
which accounts for potential expansion to 12 patients at each dose level (see Section 
11.2.2) and an inevaluability rate of 20%. COMPLETE 
 
Patients with medullary thyroid cancer may enroll to Part B of the study if there are no 
available slots on Part A. Part B will enroll concurrently at one dose level below that of 
solid tumor patients enrolled in Part A. If dose escalation has not yet occurred in Part A, 
patients in Part B will enroll at the initial dose level 1. Up to 6 patients may be enrolled 
onto each lagging dose level, for a maximum total of 18 evaluable patients in Part B. 
COMPLETE 
 
Once the MTD or RP2D is identified, intra-patient dose escalation will be allowed for 
patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) remaining on study in cycles of therapy 
subsequent to cycle 1, provided that the patient did not experience dose-limiting toxicity 
(DLT) at the dose at which they began therapy. Patients who are one dose level below the 
MTD or RP2D can escalate to the MTD or RP2D. Patients who are more than one dose 
level below the MTD or RP2D can escalate one dose level per cycle until they reach the 
MTD or RP2D as long as they do not experience a DLT when escalating.  COMPLETE  
 
The recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in patients with solid tumors was determined to 
be 40 mg/m2 (see details in Section 2.6).  In order to acquire additional PK data at this dose 
level, an additional 6  evaluable patients will be enrolled for a total of 12 evaluable patients 
at this dose level (6 < 12 years of age and 6 ≥ 12 years of age).  If at any time cycle 1 DLT 
occurs in ≥ 33% of evaluable patients in Part A at 40 mg/m2, the maximum tolerated dose 
will have been exceeded and the cohort will be closed to further enrollment.  Part B will 
remain open with Part A at 40 mg/m2 (the RP2D) to patients with MTC and may enroll a 
maximum of 6 evaluable patients (4 more in addition to the 2 already enrolled).  Part B 
will close to enrollment when the PK cohort in Part A at 40 mg/m2 has completed 
enrollment, or if 2 or more out of 6 evaluable patients in the Part B cohort experience cycle 
1 DLT.  Up to 12 additional patients will be enrolled for a maximum total of 41 patients in 
the study, which accounts for a 20% inevaluability rate.  It should take an additional 3-6 
months for completion of enrollment.

Definitions 
 
11.2.1 Evaluable For Adverse Effects 
Any patient who experiences DLT at any time during protocol therapy is 
considered evaluable for Adverse Effects. Patients without DLT who receive at 
least 85% of the prescribed dose per protocol guidelines and had the appropriate 
toxicity monitoring studies performed are also considered evaluable for Adverse 
Effects. Patients who are not evaluable for Adverse Effects at a given dose level 
will be replaced. 
 
11.2.2 Maximum Tolerated Dose (Part A): COMPLETE 
The MTD will be the maximum dose at which fewer than one-third of patients 
experience DLT (See Section 5.5) during Cycle 1 of therapy. In the event that two 
DLTs observed out of 6 evaluable patients are different classes of Adverse Effects 
(e.g. hepatotoxicity and myelosuppression), expansion of the cohort to 12 
patients will be considered if all of the following conditions are met:  
 
•  One of the DLTs does not appear to be dose-related 
•  The Adverse Effects are readily reversible 
•  The study chair, DVL statistician, DVL committee chair or vice chair, 
and IND sponsor all agree that expansion of the cohort is acceptable 
 
If fewer than 1/3 of patients in the expanded cohort experience dose-limiting 
toxicities, the dose escalation can proceed. 
 
11.3 
Dose Escalation and Determination of MTD:- COMPLETE 
 
The rolling six phase 1 trial design will be used for the conduct of this study. 17 Two to six 
patients can be concurrently enrolled onto a dose level, dependent upon (1) the number of 
patients enrolled at the current dose level, (2) the number of patients who have experienced 
DLT at the current dose level, and (3) the number of patients entered but with tolerability 
data pending at the current dose level.  Accrual is suspended when a cohort of six has 
enrolled or when the study endpoints have been met.  
 
Dose level assignment is based on the number of participants currently enrolled in the 
cohort, the number of DLTs observed, and the number of participants at risk for developing 
a DLT (i.e., participants enrolled but who are not yet assessable for toxicity). For example, 
when three participants are enrolled onto a dose cohort, if toxicity data is available for all 
three when the fourth participant entered and there are no DLTs, the dose is escalated and 
the fourth participant is enrolled to the subsequent dose level. If data is not yet available 
for one or more of the first three participants and no DLT has been observed, or if one 
DLT has been observed, the new participant is entered at the same dose level. Lastly, if 
two or more DLTs have been observed, the dose level is de-escalated. This process is 
repeated for participants five and six. In place of suspending accrual after every three 
participants, accrual is only suspended when a cohort of six is filled. When participants 
are inevaluable for toxicity, they are replaced with the next available participant if 
escalation or de-escalation rules have not been fulfilled at the time the next available 
participant is enrolled onto the study.

will be reported. 
 
11.4 
Inclusion of Children, Women and Minorities 
 
The study is open to all participants regardless of gender or ethnicity.  Review of accrual 
to past COG studies of new agents demonstrates the accrual of both genders and all NIH-
identified ethnicities to such studies.  Efforts will be made to extend the accrual to a 
representative population, but in a Phase 1 trial which will accrue a limited number of 
patients, a balance must be struck between patient safety considerations and limitations on 
the number of individuals exposed to potentially toxic or ineffective treatments on the one 
hand and the need to explore gender, racial, and ethnic aspects of clinical research on the 
other. If differences in outcome that correlate to gender, racial, or ethnic identity are noted, 
accrual may be expanded or additional studies may be performed to investigate those 
differences more fully.

Pharmacokinetic and Correlative Studies and Response Analysis 
 
A descriptive analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of XL184 will be performed to 
define systemic exposure, drug clearance, and other pharmacokinetic parameters. The PK 
parameters will be summarized with simple summary statistics, including means, medians, 
ranges, and standard deviations (if numbers and distribution permit).   
 
While the primary aim of this study is to evaluate the toxicity of XL184 patients will have 
disease evaluations performed as indicated in Section 8.1.  Disease response will be 
assessed according to RECIST criteria for patients with solid tumors, and will be reported 
descriptively. Overall survival from study entry will also be assessed and summarized 
using the Kaplan-Meier method at the 6 month, 12 month, and 5 year timepoints. 
 
All these analyses will be descriptive and exploratory and hypotheses generating in nature.

EVALUATION CRITERIA 
 
12.1 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 
The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for AE reporting.  All 
appropriate treatment areas should have access to a copy of the CTCAE version 4.0.  A 
copy of the CTCAE version 4.0 can be downloaded from the CTEP website 
(http://ctep.cancer.gov). 
 
12.2 
Response Criteria for Patients with Solid Tumors  
See the table in section 8.0 for the schedule of tumor evaluations. In addition to the 
scheduled scans, a confirmatory scan should be obtained 21-28 days following initial 
documentation of objective response. 
 
Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the revised Response 
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1) [Eur J Ca 45:228-
247, 2009].  Key points are that 5 target lesions are identified and that changes in the largest 
diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions but the shortest diameter of 
malignant lymph nodes are used in the RECIST v 1.1 criteria. 
 
12.2.1 Definitions 
 
12.2.1.1 Evaluable for objective response: Patients who exhibit objective disease 
progression prior to the end of cycle 1 will be considered evaluable for 
response. For all other patients, only those patients who have measurable 
disease present at baseline, have received at least one cycle of therapy, 
and have had their disease re-evaluated will be considered evaluable for 
response.  
 
12.2.1.2 Evaluable Non-Target Disease Response: Patients who have lesions 
present at baseline that are evaluable but do not meet the definitions of 
measurable disease, have received at least one cycle of therapy, and have 
had their disease re-evaluated will be considered evaluable for non-
target disease.  The response assessment is based on the presence, 
absence, or unequivocal progression of the lesions.  
 
12.2.2 Disease Parameters 
 
12.2.2.1 Measurable disease: Measurable lesions are defined as those that can be 
accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be 
recorded) as ≥20 mm by chest x-ray, as ≥10 mm with CT scan, or ≥10 
mm with calipers by clinical exam.  All tumor measurements must be 
recorded in millimeters (or decimal fractions of centimeters). 
 
Note:  Tumor lesions that are situated in a previously irradiated area 
might or might not be considered measurable.  If the investigator 
thinks it appropriate to include them, the conditions under which 
such lesions should be considered must be defined in the 
protocol.

Page 50 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
12.2.2.2 Malignant lymph nodes: To be considered pathologically enlarged and 
measurable, a lymph node must be ≥15 mm in short axis when assessed 
by CT scan (CT scan slice thickness no greater than 5 mm).  At baseline 
and in follow-up, only the short axis will be measured and followed. 
 
12.2.2.3 Non-measurable disease: All other lesions (or sites of disease), including 
small lesions (longest diameter <10 mm or pathological lymph nodes 
with ≥ 10 to <15 mm short axis), are considered non-measurable disease.  
Bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial 
effusions, lymphangitis cutis/pulmonitis, inflammatory breast disease, 
and abdominal masses (not followed by CT or MRI), are considered as 
non-measurable. 
 
Note:  Cystic lesions that meet the criteria for radiographically defined 
simple cysts should not be considered as malignant lesions 
(neither measurable nor non-measurable) since they are, by 
definition, simple cysts. ‘Cystic lesions’ thought to represent 
cystic metastases can be considered as measurable lesions, if they 
meet the definition of measurability described above. However, 
if non-cystic lesions are present in the same patient, these are 
preferred for selection as target lesions. 
 
12.2.2.4 Target lesions: All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 2 lesions per 
organ and 5 lesions in total, representative of all involved organs, should 
be identified as target lesions and recorded and measured at baseline.  
Target lesions should be selected on the basis of their size (lesions with 
the longest diameter), be representative of all involved organs, but in 
addition should be those that lend themselves to reproducible repeated 
measurements.  It may be the case that, on occasion, the largest lesion 
does not lend itself to reproducible measurement in which circumstance 
the next largest lesion that can be measured reproducibly should be 
selected.  A sum of the diameters (longest for non-nodal lesions, short 
axis for nodal lesions) for all target lesions will be calculated and 
reported as the baseline sum diameters.  If lymph nodes are to be 
included in the sum, then only the short axis is added into the sum.  The 
baseline sum diameters will be used as reference to further characterize 
any objective tumor regression in the measurable dimension of the 
disease. 
 
12.2.2.5 Non-target lesions: All other lesions (or sites of disease) including any 
measurable lesions over and above the 5 target lesions should be 
identified as non-target lesions and should also be recorded at baseline.  
Measurements of these lesions are not required, but the presence, 
absence, or in rare cases unequivocal progression of each should be 
noted throughout follow-up.

Page 51 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
12.2.3 Methods for Evaluation of Measurable Disease 
 
All measurements should be taken and recorded in metric notation using a ruler or 
calipers.  
 
The same method of assessment and the same technique should be used to 
characterize each identified and reported lesion at baseline and during follow-up. 
Imaging-based evaluation is preferred to evaluation by clinical examination unless 
the lesion(s) being followed cannot be imaged but are assessable by clinical exam. 
 
12.2.3.1 Clinical lesions:  Clinical lesions will only be considered measurable 
when they are superficial (e.g., skin nodules and palpable lymph nodes) 
and 10 mm diameter as assessed using calipers (e.g., skin nodules).  In 
the case of skin lesions, documentation by color photography, including 
a ruler to estimate the size of the lesion, is recommended.  
 
12.2.3.2 Chest x-ray:  Lesions on chest x-ray are acceptable as measurable lesions 
when they are clearly defined and surrounded by aerated lung.  
However, CT is preferable.  
 
12.2.3.3 Conventional CT and MRI:  This guideline has defined measurability of 
lesions on CT scan based on the assumption that CT slice thickness is 5 
mm or less.  If CT scans have slice thickness greater than 5 mm, the 
minimum size for a measurable lesion should be twice the slice 
thickness.  MRI is also acceptable in certain situations (e.g. for body 
scans). Ideally, the same type of scanner should be used and the image 
acquisition protocol should be followed as closely as possible to prior 
scans.  
 
12.2.3.4 PET-CT:  At present, the low dose or attenuation correction CT portion 
of a combined PET-CT is not always of optimal diagnostic CT quality 
for use with RECIST measurements.  However, if the site can document 
that the CT performed as part of a PET-CT is of identical diagnostic 
quality to a diagnostic CT (with IV and oral contrast), then the CT 
portion of the PET-CT can be used for RECIST measurements and can 
be used interchangeably with conventional CT in accurately measuring 
cancer lesions over time.  Note, however, that the PET portion of the CT 
introduces additional data which may bias an investigator if it is not 
routinely or serially performed.   
 
12.2.3.5 Tumor markers: Tumor markers alone cannot be used to assess response.  
If markers are initially above the upper normal limit, they must 
normalize for a patient to be considered in complete clinical response.  
 
12.2.3.6 Cytology, Histology: These techniques can be used to differentiate 
between partial responses (PR) and complete responses (CR) in rare 
cases (e.g., residual lesions in tumor types, such as germ cell tumors, 
where known residual benign tumors can remain). 
 
Cytology should be obtained if an effusion appears or worsens during 
treatment when the measurable tumor has met criteria for response or 
stable disease.

Version Date: 1/31/2019 
 
12.2.3.7 FDG-PET: While FDG-PET response assessments need additional 
study, it is sometimes reasonable to incorporate the use of FDG-PET 
scanning to complement CT scanning in assessment of progression 
(particularly possible 'new' disease).  New lesions on the basis of FDG-
PET imaging can be identified according to the following algorithm:  
 
a. Negative FDG-PET at baseline, with a positive FDG-PET at follow-
up is a sign of PD based on a new lesion. 
b. No FDG-PET at baseline and a positive FDG-PET at follow-up:  If 
the positive FDG-PET at follow-up corresponds to a new site of 
disease confirmed by CT, this is PD.  If the positive FDG-PET at 
follow-up is not confirmed as a new site of disease on CT, additional 
follow-up CT scans are needed to determine if there is truly 
progression occurring at that site (if so, the date of PD will be the date 
of the initial abnormal FDG-PET scan).  If the positive FDG-PET at 
follow-up corresponds to a pre-existing site of disease on CT that is 
not progressing on the basis of the anatomic images, this is not PD. 
 
 Note:  A ‘positive’ FDG-PET scan lesion means one that is FDG avid 
with an uptake greater than twice that of the surrounding tissue 
on the attenuation corrected image. 
 
 
12.2.4 Response Criteria for Patients with Solid Tumor and Measurable Disease 
 
12.2.4.1 Evaluation of Target Lesions 
 
Complete Response (CR): 
Disappearance of all target and non-target 
lesions.  Any pathological lymph nodes (whether 
target or non-target) must have reduction in short 
axis to <10 mm. If immunocytology is available, 
no disease must be detected by that methodology.  
Normalization of urinary catecholamines or other 
tumor markers if elevated at study enrollment (for 
patients with neuroblastoma).  
 
Partial Response (PR): 
At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the 
diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the 
baseline sum diameters 
 
Progressive Disease (PD): 
At least a 20% increase in the sum of the 
diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the 
smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline 
sum if that is the smallest on study).  In addition 
to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also 
demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.  
(Note:  the appearance of one or more new lesions 
is also considered progressions). Note: in 
presence of SD or PR in target disease but 
unequivocal progression in non-target or non-
measurable disease, the patient has PD if there is 


                                
ADVL1211  
THIS PROTOCOL IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, SEE PAGE 1 FOR USAGE POLICY 
 
 
 
Page 53 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
an overall level of substantial worsening in non-
target disease such that the overall tumor burden 
has 
increased 
sufficiently 
to 
merit 
discontinuation of therapy 
 
Stable Disease (SD): 
Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor 
sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as 
reference the smallest sum diameters while on 
study 
 
12.2.4.2 Evaluation of Non-Target Lesions 
 
Complete Response (CR): 
Disappearance of all non-target lesions and 
normalization of tumor marker level.  All lymph 
nodes must be non-pathological in size (<10 mm 
short axis) 
 
Note:  If tumor markers are initially above the 
upper normal limit, they must normalize for a 
patient to be considered in complete clinical 
response. 
 
Non-CR/Non-PD: 
Persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) 
and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above 
the normal limits 
 
Progressive Disease (PD): 
Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or 
unequivocal progression of existing non-target 
lesions.  Unequivocal progression should not 
normally trump target lesion status.  It must be 
representative of overall disease status change, 
not a single lesion increase.     
 
12.2.5 Overall Best Response Assessment 
Each patient will be classified according to his “best response” for the purposes of 
analysis of treatment effect.  Best response is determined as outlined in Section 
12.8 from a sequence of overall response assessments. 
 
12.3 
Biomarker Response Criteria for Patients with MTC 
 
Patients with MTC will use the response criteria outlined above in Section 12.2 to 
evaluate response and progression. Additional biomarker response data will be collected 
in patients with tumor markers (CEA and/or calcitonin) 2x ULN at baseline. 
 
Complete Response (CR): 
Normalization (≤ ULN) of CEA or calcitonin 
(CTN) level following treatment, confirmed with 
a repeat CEA/CTN level at least 4 weeks apart. 
 
Partial Response (PR): 
A ≥ 50% decrease in the CEA or CTN level 
relative to the baseline level, confirmed with a 
repeat CEA/CTN level at least 4 weeks apart. 


                                
ADVL1211  
THIS PROTOCOL IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, SEE PAGE 1 FOR USAGE POLICY 
 
 
 
Page 54 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
 
Progressive Disease (PD): 
A ≥ 50% increase in the CEA or CTN relative to 
the prior value on 2 consecutive measurements at 
least 4 weeks apart (e.g., if the last prior CTN 
value was 1,000 pg/ml, consecutive values of 
1,500 pg/ml and then 2,250 pg/ml at least 4 weeks 
later would represent progression). The patient 
must have been taking XL184 for 4 weeks prior 
to the first measurements and must have 
continued to take the drug through the time that 
the second measurement was drawn. 
 
Stable Disease (SD): 
<50% increase or decrease in CTN or CEA level 
relative to the baseline level. 
 
12.4 
Response Criteria for Patients with Solid Tumors and Evaluable Disease 
 
12.4.1 Evaluable Disease 
The presence of at least one lesion, with no lesion that can be accurately measured 
in at least one dimension.  Such lesions may be evaluable by nuclear medicine 
techniques, immunocytochemistry techniques, tumor markers or other reliable 
measures.  
 
12.4.2 Complete Response 
Disappearance of all evaluable disease. 
 
12.4.3 Partial response 
Partial responses cannot be determined in patients with evaluable disease 
 
12.4.4 Stable Disease (SD) 
That which does not qualify as Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), 
or Progressive Disease. 
 
12.4.5 Progressive Disease 
The appearance of one or more new lesions or evidence of laboratory, clinical, or 
radiographic progression. 
 
12.4.6 Overall Best Response Assessment 
Each patient will be classified according to his “best response” for the purposes of 
analysis of treatment effect.  Best response is determined as outlined in Section 
12.8 from a sequence of overall response assessments.

12.5 
Response Criteria for Neuroblastoma Patients with MIBG Positive Lesions 
 
12.5.1 MIBG Positive Lesions 
Patients who have a positive MIBG scan at the start of therapy will be evaluable 
for MIBG response. The use of 123I for MIBG imaging is recommended for all 
scans. If the patient has only one MIBG positive lesion and that lesion was 
radiated, a biopsy must be done at least 28 days after radiation was completed and 
must show viable neuroblastoma. 
 
12.5.2 The following criteria will be used to report MIBG response by the treating 
institution: 
 
Complete response:  Complete resolution of all MIBG positive lesions 
Partial Response:  Resolution of at least one MIBG positive lesion, with 
persistence of other MIBG positive lesions 
Stable disease:  
No change in MIBG scan in number of positive lesions 
Progressive disease: Development of new MIBG positive lesions 
 
12.5.3 The response of MIBG lesions will be assessed on central review using the Curie 
scale14 as outlined below. Central review responses will be used to assess 
efficacy for study endpoint. See Section 8.3.1 for details on transferring images 
to the Imaging Research Center. 
 
NOTE: This scoring should also be done by the treating institution for end of 
course response assessments. 
 
The body is divided into 9 anatomic sectors for osteomedullary lesions, with a 10th 
general sector allocated for any extra-osseous lesion visible on MIBG scan. In each 
region, the lesions are scored as follows. The absolute extension score is graded 
as:  
0 = no site per segment,  
1 = 1 site per segment,  
2 = more than one site per segment,  
3 = massive involvement (>50% of the segment).  
 
The absolute score is obtained by adding the score of all the segments. See 
diagram of sectors below: 
 


                                
ADVL1211  
THIS PROTOCOL IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, SEE PAGE 1 FOR USAGE POLICY 
 
 
 
Page 56 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
 
The relative score is calculated by dividing the absolute score at each time point 
by the corresponding pre-treatment absolute score. The relative score of each 
patient is calculated at each response assessment compared to baseline and 
classified as below: 
1. Complete response: all areas of uptake on MIBG scan completely resolved. 
If morphological evidence of tumor cells in bone marrow biopsy or aspiration 
is present at enrollment, no tumor cells can be detected by routine morphology 
on two subsequent bilateral bone marrow aspirates and biopsies done at least 21 
days apart to be considered a Complete Response. 
2. Partial response: Relative score ≤ 0.2 (lesions almost disappeared) to ≤ 0.5 
(lesions strongly reduced). 
3. Stable disease: Relative score > 0.5 (lesions weakly but significantly reduced) 
to 1.0 (lesions not reduced). 
4. Progressive disease: New lesions on MIBG scan. 
 
12.5.4 Overall Best Response Assessment 
Each patient will be classified according to his “best response” for the purposes of 
analysis of treatment effect.  Best response is determined from the sequence of the 
overall response assessments as described in Table 5 in Section 12.8. 
 
12.6 
Response Criteria for Neuroblastoma Patients with Bone Marrow Involvement 
 
12.6.1 Bone Marrow Involvement  
Bone marrow obtained within 28 days prior to study enrollment with tumor cells 
seen on routine morphology (not by immunohistochemical staining only) of 
bilateral aspirate or biopsy on one bone marrow sample. 
 
Bone Marrow responses are determined by H&E Staining of bilateral bone marrow 
biopsies and aspirates. 
 
Complete Response:  
No tumor cells detectable by routine morphology on 2 
consecutive bilateral bone marrow aspirates and biopsies 
performed at least 21 days apart. Normalization of urinary 
catecholamines or other tumor markers if elevated at 
study enrollment. 
 
Progressive Disease:  
In patients who enroll with neuroblastoma in bone 
marrow by morphology have progressive disease if there 
is a doubling in the amount of tumor in the marrow AND 
a minimum of 25% tumor in bone marrow by 
morphology. (For example, a patient entering with 5% 
tumor in marrow by morphology must increase to ≥ 25% 
tumor to have progressive disease; a patient entering with 
30% tumor must increase to > 60%). 
 
In patients who enroll without evidence of neuroblastoma 
in bone marrow will be defined as progressive disease if 
tumor is detected in 2 consecutive bone marrow biopsies 
or aspirations done at least 21 days apart.

Page 57 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
Stable Disease: 
Persistence of tumor in bone marrow that does not meet 
the criteria for either complete response or progressive 
disease. 
 
12.6.2 Overall Best Response Assessment 
Each patient will be classified according to his “best response” for the purposes of 
analysis of treatment effect.  Best response is determined from the sequence of the 
overall response assessments as described in Section 12.8. 
 
12.7 
Response Criteria for Patients with CNS Tumors 
 
12.7.1 Measurable Disease 
Any lesion that is at minimum 10 mm in one dimension on standard MRI or CT, 
for CNS tumors. 
 
12.7.2 Evaluable Disease  
Evaluable disease is defined as at least one lesion, with no lesion that can be 
accurately measured in at least one dimension. Such lesions may be evaluable by 
nuclear medicine techniques, immunocytochemistry techniques, tumor markers, 
CSF cytology, or other reliable measures. 
 
12.7.3 Selection of Target and Non-Target Lesions 
For most CNS tumors, only one lesion/mass is present and therefore is considered 
a “target” for measurement/follow up to assess for tumor progression/response. If 
multiple measurable lesions are present, up to 5 should be selected as “target” 
lesions. Target lesions should be selected on the basis of size and suitability for 
accurate repeated measurements. All other lesions will be followed as non-target 
lesions. The lower size limit of the target lesion(s) should be at least twice the 
thickness of the slices showing the tumor to decrease the partial volume effect 
(e.g., 8 mm lesion for a 4 mm slice). 
 
Any change in size of non-target lesions should be noted, though does not need to be 
measured. 
 
12.7.4 Response Criteria for Target Lesions 
Response criteria are assessed based on the product of the longest diameter and its 
longest perpendicular diameter. Development of new disease or progression in any 
established lesions is considered progressive disease, regardless of response in 
other lesions – e.g., when multiple lesions show opposite responses, the 
progressive disease takes precedence. Response Criteria for target lesions: 
 
• 
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. 
 
• 
Partial response (PR): ≥50% decrease in the sum of the products of the two 
perpendicular diameters of all target lesions (up to 5), taking as reference the 
initial baseline measurements. 
 
• 
Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient decrease in the sum of the products of 
the two perpendicular diameters of all target lesions to qualify for PR, nor 
sufficient increase in a single target lesion to qualify for PD. 


                                
ADVL1211  
THIS PROTOCOL IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, SEE PAGE 1 FOR USAGE POLICY 
 
 
 
Page 58 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
 
• 
Progressive Disease (PD): 25% or more increase in the sum of the products 
of the perpendicular diameters of the target lesions, taking as reference the 
smallest sum of the products observed since the start of treatment, or the 
appearance of one or more new lesions. 
 
12.7.5 Response Criteria for Non-Target Lesions: 
 
• 
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-target lesions. 
 
• 
Incomplete Response/Stable Disease (IR/SD): The persistence of one or 
more non-target lesions. 
 
• 
Progressive Disease (PD): The appearance of one or more new lesions and/or 
unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. 
 
12.7.6 Response criteria for tumor markers (if available): 
Tumor markers will be classified simply as being at normal levels or at abnormally 
high levels. 
 
12.7.7 Overall Response Assessment 
The overall response assessment takes into account response in both target and 
non-target lesions, the appearance of new lesions and normalization of markers 
(where applicable), according to the criteria described in the table below. The 
overall response assessment is shown in the last column, and depends on the 
assessments of target, non-target, marker and new lesions in the preceding 
columns.

Best Response 
 
12.8.1 Evaluation of Best Overall Response 
The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the 
treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive 
disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started).  The 
patient's best response assignment will depend on the achievement of both 
measurement and confirmation criteria.

Note: 
Patients with a global deterioration of health status requiring discontinuation of 
treatment without objective evidence of disease progression at that time should be 
reported as “symptomatic deterioration.”  Every effort should be made to document 
the objective progression even after discontinuation of treatment.

Duration of overall response:  The duration of overall response is measured from 
the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) 
until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented 
(taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded 
since the treatment started).

ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 
 
Adverse event data collection and reporting which are required as part of every clinical trial, are 
done to ensure the safety of patients enrolled in the studies as well as those who will enroll in future 
studies using similar agents.  Adverse events are reported in a routine manner at scheduled times 
during a trial.  (Please follow directions for routine reporting provided in the data collection packet 
for this protocol).  Additionally, certain adverse events must be reported in an expedited manner to 
allow for optimal monitoring of patient safety and care.  The following sections provide information 
about expedited reporting. 
 
 
Reporting requirements may include the following considerations: 1) whether the patient has 
received an investigational or commercial agent; 2) whether the adverse event is considered serious; 
3) the grade (severity); and 4) whether or not hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization was 
associated with the event. 
 
An investigational agent is a protocol drug administered under an Investigational New Drug 
Application (IND).  In some instances, the investigational agent may be available commercially, 
but is actually being tested for indications not included in the approved package label. 
 
Commercial agents are those agents not provided under an IND but obtained instead from a 
commercial source. The NCI, rather than a commercial distributor, may on some occasions 
distribute commercial agents for a trial. 
 
13.1 
Steps to Determine If an Adverse Event Is To Be Reported In an Expedited Manner 
 
Step 1: Identify the type of adverse event using the NCI CTCAE version 4.0.  The 
descriptions and grading scales found in the revised CTCAE version 4.0 will be 
used for AE reporting. All appropriate treatment areas should have access to a copy 
of the CTCAE version 4.0.  A copy of the CTCAE version 4.0 can be downloaded 
from the CTEP website (http://ctep.cancer.gov). 
 
Step 2:  Grade the adverse event using the NCI CTCAE. 
 
Step 3:  Review Table A in this section to determine if: 
• 
the adverse event is considered serious; 
• 
there are any protocol-specific requirements for expedited reporting of specific 
adverse events that require special monitoring; and/or 
• 
there are any protocol-specific exceptions to the reporting requirements.  
 
Note:  This includes all events that occur within 30 days of the last dose of protocol 
treatment.  Any event that occurs more than 30 days after the last dose of 
treatment and is attributed (possibly, probably, or definitely) to the 
agent(s) must also be reported according to the instructions in the table 
below. Attribution categories are as follows: Unrelated, Unlikely, 
Possible, Probable, and Definite.

FDA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS (21 CFR Part 312) 
NOTE:  Investigators MUST immediately report to the sponsor (NCI) ANY Serious Adverse Events, whether or not 
they are considered related to the investigational agent(s)/intervention (21 CFR 312.64) 
An adverse event is considered serious if it results in ANY of the following outcomes:   
1) 
Death 
2) 
A life-threatening adverse event  
3) 
An adverse event that results in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization for ≥ 24 
hours  
4) 
A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions  
5) 
A congenital anomaly/birth defect.  
6) 
Important Medical Events (IME) that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization 
may be considered serious when, based upon medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient or subject 
and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition. (FDA, 
21 CFR 312.32; ICH E2A and ICH E6). 
ALL SERIOUS adverse events that meet the above criteria MUST be immediately reported to the NCI via CTEP-
AERS within the timeframes detailed in the table below.

NOTE:   Protocol specific exceptions to expedited reporting of serious adverse events are found in the Specific 
Protocol Exceptions to Expedited Reporting (SPEER) portion of the CAEPR. 
Expedited AE reporting timelines are defined as: 
o “24-Hour; 5 Calendar Days” - The AE must initially be reported via CTEP-AERS within 24 hours of 
learning of the AE, followed by a complete expedited report within 5 calendar days of the initial 24-
hour report. 
o 
“7 Calendar Days” - A complete expedited report on the AE must be submitted within 7 calendar 
days of learning of the AE. 
1Serious adverse events that occur more than 30 days after the last administration of investigational 
agent/intervention and have an attribution of possible, probable, or definite require reporting as follows:  
Expedited 24-hour notification followed by complete report within 5 calendar days for: 
• All Grade 3, 4, and Grade 5 AEs 
Expedited 7 calendar day reports for: 
• Grade 2 AEs resulting in hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization 
2 For studies using PET or SPECT IND agents, the AE reporting period is limited to 10 radioactive half-lives, 
rounded UP to the nearest whole day, after the agent/intervention was last administered.  Footnote “1” above 
applies after this reporting period. 
Effective Date:  May 5, 2011 
 
• 
Any medical event equivalent to CTCAE grade 3, 4, or 5 that precipitates hospitalization (or 
prolongation of existing hospitalization) must be reported regardless of attribution and designation 
as expected or unexpected with the exception of any events identified as protocol-specific 
expedited adverse event reporting exclusions. 
 
• 
Any event that results in persistent or significant disabilities/incapacities, congenital anomalies, or

birth defects must be reported via CTEP-AERS if the event occurs following treatment with an 
agent under a CTEP IND. 
 
• 
Use the NCI protocol number and the protocol-specific patient ID provided during trial registration 
on all reports. 
 
Additional Instructions or Exceptions to CTEP-AERS Expedited Reporting Requirements for Phase 1 
Trials Utilizing an Agent under a CTEP-IND or Non-CTEP IND: 
 
• Any death that occurs more than 30 days after the last dose of treatment with an investigational 
agent which can be attributed (possibly, probably, or definitely) to the agent and is not due to cancer 
recurrence/progression must be reported via CTEP-AERS for an agent under a CTEP or non-CTEP 
IND agent per the timelines outlined in the table above. 
 
• Myelosuppression, including Grade 4 lymphopenia, does not require expedited reporting unless it 
is associated with hospitalization.

• 
Some adverse events require notification within 24 hours (refer to Table A) to NCI via 
the web at: 
http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/docs/aeguidelines.pdf 
(telephone CTEP at: (301) 897-7497 within 24 hours of becoming aware of the event if 
the CTEP-AERS 24-Hour Notification web-based application is unavailable) and by 
telephone call to the Study Chair. Once internet connectivity is restored, a 24-hour 
notification phoned in must be entered electronically into CTEP-AERS by the original 
submitter at the site. 
 
• 
When the adverse event requires expedited reporting, submit the report within 5 or 7 
calendar days of learning of the event (refer to Table A). 
 
• 
Expedited AE reporting for this study must only use CTEP-AERS (Adverse Event

Expedited Reporting Methods  
 
13.3.1 CTEP-AERS Reporting 
To report adverse events in an expedited fashion use the CTEP Adverse Event 
Reporting System (CTEP-AERS) that can be found at http://ctep.cancer.gov. 
 
A CTEP-AERS report must be submitted electronically via the CTEP-AERS 
http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/adverse_eve
nts.htm. If prompted to enter a sponsor email address, please type in: 
PEPCTNAERS@childrensoncologygroup.org. 
 
Fax supporting documentation to the NCI (fax # 301-230-0159) and send by email 
to the ADVL1211 COG Study Assigned Research Coordinator.  ALWAYS 
include the ticket number on all faxed and emailed documents. 
 
13.4 
Definition of Onset and Resolution of Adverse Events 
 
 
Note: These guidelines below are for reporting adverse events on the COG data 
submission forms and do not alter the guidelines for CTEP-AERS reporting. 
 
13.4.1 If an adverse event occurs more than once in a course (cycle) of therapy only the 
most severe grade of the event should be reported. 
 
13.4.2 If an adverse event progresses through several grades during one course of 
therapy, only the most severe grade should be reported. 
 
13.4.3 The duration of the AE is defined as the duration of the highest (most severe) 
grade of the Adverse Effects.  
 
13.4.4 The resolution date of the AE is defined as the date at which the AE returns to 
baseline or less than Grade 1, whichever level is higher (note that the resolution 
date may therefore be different from the date at which the grade of the AE 
decreased from its highest grade).  If the AE does not return to baseline the 


                                
ADVL1211  
THIS PROTOCOL IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY, SEE PAGE 1 FOR USAGE POLICY 
 
 
 
Page 66 
Version Date: 1/31/2019 
resolution date should be recorded as "ongoing."   
 
13.4.5 An adverse event that persists from one course to another should only be reported 
once unless the grade becomes more severe in a subsequent course. An adverse 
event which resolves and then recurs during a different course, must be reported 
each course it recurs.  
 
13.5 
Other Recipients of Adverse Event Reports 
 
13.5.1 Events that do not meet the criteria for CTEP-AERS reporting (Section 13.2) 
should be reported at the end of each cycle using the forms provided in the data 
form packet (See Section 14.1). 
 
13.5.2 COG will forward reports and supporting documentation to the Study Chair, to 
the FDA (when COG holds the IND) and to the pharmaceutical company (for 
industry sponsored trials). 
 
13.5.3 Adverse events determined to be reportable must also be reported according to 
the local policy and procedures to the Institutional Review Board responsible for 
oversight of the patient. 
 
13.6 
Reporting Secondary AML/MDS 
All cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that 
occur in patients on NCI-sponsored trials following their chemotherapy for cancer must be 
reported to the Investigational Drug Branch (IDB) of the NCI Cancer Therapy Evaluation 
Program (CTEP) via CTEP-AERS and included as part of the second malignant neoplasm 
reporting requirements for this protocol (see data submission packet).  Submit the 
completed CTEP-AERS report within 14 days of an AML/MDS diagnosis occurring after 
treatment for cancer on NCI-sponsored trials. 
 
Secondary Malignancy:  
A secondary malignancy is a cancer caused by treatment for a previous malignancy (e.g., 
treatment with investigational agent/intervention, radiation or chemotherapy). A secondary 
malignancy is not considered a metastasis of the initial neoplasm.  
CTEP requires all secondary malignancies that occur following treatment with an agent 
under an NCI IND/IDE be reported via CTEP-AERS. Three options are available to 
describe the event:  
1) Leukemia secondary to oncology chemotherapy (e.g., acute myelocytic 
leukemia [AML]),  
2) Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or  
3) Treatment-related secondary malignancy.  
 
Any malignancy possibly related to cancer treatment (including AML/MDS) should also 
be reported via the routine reporting mechanisms outlined in each protocol. 
Second Malignancy:  
A second malignancy is one unrelated to the treatment of a prior malignancy (and is 
NOT a metastasis from the initial malignancy).  Second malignancies require ONLY 
routine reporting via CDUS unless otherwise specified.

13.7 
Reporting Pregnancy, Fetal Death, and Death Neonatal 
When submitting CTEP-AERS reports for “Pregnancy”, “Pregnancy loss”, or “Neonatal 
loss”, the Pregnancy Information Form should be completed and faxed along with any 
additional medical information to (301) 230-0159 (Appendix VI). Copies of all documents 
faxed to the NCI must also be emailed to the ADVL1211 COG Study Assigned Research 
Coordinator. The potential risk of exposure of the fetus to the investigational agent should 
be documented in the “Description of Event” section of the CTEP-AERS report. 
 
13.7.1 Pregnancy 
• 
Patients who become pregnant on study risk intrauterine exposure of the 
fetus to agents which may be teratogenic. For this reason, pregnancy 
occurring on study or within 6 months following the last dose of study 
therapy should be reported in an expedited manner via CTEP-AERS as 
“Pregnancy, puerperium and perinatal conditions - Other (Pregnancy) 
under the Pregnancy, puerperium and perinatal conditions SOC and 
reported as Grade 3. 
 
• 
Pregnancy should be followed up until the outcome of the pregnancy is 
known at intervals deemed appropriate by her physicians. The “Pregnancy 
Information Form” should be used for all follow-ups. If the baby is born 
with a birth defect or other anomaly, then a second CTEP-AERS report is 
required. 
 
13.7.2 Fetal Death 
• 
Fetal death is defined in CTCAE as “A disorder characterized by death in 
utero; failure of the product of conception to show evidence of respiration, 
heartbeat, or definite movement of a voluntary muscle after expulsion 
from the uterus, without possibility of resuscitation.” 
 
• 
 Any fetal death should be reported expeditiously, as Grade 4 “Pregnancy, 
puerperium and perinatal conditions - Other (pregnancy loss)” under the 
Pregnancy, puerperium and perinatal conditions SOC.  
 
• 
 A fetal death should NOT be reported as “Fetal death,” a Grade 5 event 
under the Pregnancy, puerperium and perinatal conditions SOC, as 
currently CTEP-AERS recognizes this event as a patient death. 
 
13.7.3 Death Neonatal 
• 
Neonatal death, defined in CTCAE as “A disorder characterized by 
cessation of life occurring during the first 28 days of life” that is felt by 
the investigator to be at least possibly due to the investigational 
agent/intervention, should be reported expeditiously. 
 
• 
A neonatal death should be reported expeditiously as Grade 4 “General 
disorders and administration- Other (neonatal loss)” under the General 
disorders and administration SOC. 
 
• 
Neonatal death should NOT be reported as “Death neonatal” under the 
General disorders and administration SOC, a Grade 5 event. If reported as

such, the CTEP-AERS interprets this as a death of the patient being 
treated.

14.4 
Data and Safety Monitoring Plan 
Data and safety is ensured by several integrated components including the COG Data and 
Safety Monitoring Committee. 
 
14.4.1 Data and Safety Monitoring Committee 
This study will be monitored in accordance with the Children’s Oncology Group 
policy for data and safety monitoring of Phase 1 and 2 studies. In brief, the role of 
the COG Data and Safety Monitoring Committee is to protect the interests of 
patients and the scientific integrity for all Phase 1 and 2 studies. The DSMC 
consists of a chair; a statistician external to COG; one external member; one 
consumer representative; the lead statistician of the PEP-CTN scientific 
committee; and a member from the NCI. The DSMC meets at least every 6 months 
to review current study results, as well as data available to the DSMC from other 
related studies. Approximately 6 weeks before each meeting of the Phase 1 and 2 
DSMC, study chairs will be responsible for working with the study statistician to 
prepare study reports for review by the DSMC. The DSMC will provide 
recommendations to the COG PEP-CTN Chair and the Group Chair for each study 
reviewed to change the study or to continue the study unchanged. Data and Safety 
Committee reports for institutional review boards can be prepared using the public 
data monitoring report as posted on the COG Web site. 
 
14.4.2 Monitoring by the Study Chair and Developmental Therapeutics Leadership  
The study chair will monitor the study regularly and enter evaluations of patients’ 
eligibility, evaluability, and dose limiting toxicities into the study database. In 
addition, study data and the study chair’s evaluations will be reviewed by the COG 
PEP-CTN Chair, Vice Chair and Statistician on a weekly conference call.

Please do not write patient names on this form. 
 
Complete each day with the date, time and number of XL184 tablets taken. Make note of other drugs and 
supplements taken. Your doctor will tell you what foods you should avoid. If a dose of XL184 is missed 
and less than 6 hours have passed since the scheduled dosing time, the dose should be taken immediately. 
If more than 6 hours have passed since the scheduled dosing time, you should not take the missed dose but 
should wait and take the next regularly scheduled dose. If you vomit after the dose of XL184 is 
administered, that dose should NOT be repeated. Wait until the next regularly scheduled dose to take the 
drug again. Return the completed diary to your institution weekly during Cycle 1, and then after each 
treatment cycle. Your institution will upload this document into RAVE weekly during Cycle 1, and then 
after each treatment cycle. 
 
Sites will fill out the day of the week and number of prescribed tablets per day according to the dosing

APPENDIX VII:  URINE PROTEIN TO CREATININE (UPC) RATIO 
 
 
Clinical Meaning of UPC 
There is a good correlation between the ratio of urine protein to creatinine concentrations (UPC) in a random 
urine sample and the amount of protein excreted in a 24-hour urine collection period.18 Thus, the UPC 
allows for an estimation of the 24-hour urine protein excretion from a random sample.  The creatinine 
excretion is fairly constant throughout the day regardless of changes in urine flow rate: 
• 
Men excrete 20 mg to 25 mg of creatinine/kg of body weight/day 
• 
Women excrete 15 mg to 20 mg of creatinine/kg of body weight/day 
• 
Normal protein excretion is <100 mg to 150 mg per 24 hours. 
• 
The UPC ratio is roughly equal to the 24 hour urine protein excretion in g/day 
 
 
Calculating UPC Ratio 
UPC ratio = (Urine protein [mg/dL]) / (urine creatinine [mg/dL]) = numerically equivalent to grams (g) 
protein excreted in urine over 24 hours.  
 
Example:  If a subject has a urine protein of 90 mg/dL and urine creatinine of 30 mg/dL,   
then UPC ratio =  
90 (mg/dL)  = 3 
30 (mg/dL) 
Result UPC is 3 correlating to roughly 3g of protein excretion in a 24-hour period. 
 
 
Units for UPC ratio 
UPC is a calculated ratio. The guidelines in the protocol are based on having urine protein and urine 
creatinine measured in the same units (e.g., mg/dL). The SI units for urine protein and urine creatinine are 
not the same, so these must be converted to mg/dL before calculating the ratio.  For reference, the 
conversion factors for commonly used units for protein and creatinine are provided below. 
 
Starting units 
Conversion to mg/dL 
Protein (g/L) 
Multiply by 100 
Creatinine (mol/L) 
Divide by 88.4 
Creatinine (mmol/L) 
Multiply by 11.3

Sample Processing Procedures- Refer to PD Lab Manual for additional details 
1. Draw 5 mL of whole blood into a pre-labeled 6-mL Vacutainer tube (refer to PD Kit provided by 
Exelixis). 
2. Invert the collection tube gently at least 5 times. 
3. Within 30 minutes of collection, separate the plasma fraction by centrifugation (1200 × g for 10 
minutes). A refrigerated centrifuge is preferred, and if available, should be set to 4°C.  
4. Transfer the plasma to a 15 mL polypropylene tube and mix gently and thoroughly with a pipette. 
Be sure to avoid aspiration of cellular material near the buffy coat. Aliquot 0.5 mL into each of the 
4 pre-labeled 1.2-mL cryovials. Distribute any extra plasma evenly between the vials. 
5. Freeze plasma samples immediately (-70°C or colder). The samples must be stored on dry ice if a 
freezer is not immediately available.

APPENDIX XIV:  PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR TREATING DIARRHEA 
 
Guidelines for the Treatment of Diarrhea 
 
Institutional practice may be used in place of these guidelines. 
 
Each family will be instructed to have antidiarrheal medication available and begin treatment at the first 
episode of poorly formed or loose stools or the earliest onset of bowel movements more frequent than 
normally expected for the patient. Patients will also be instructed to contact their physician if any diarrhea 
occurs. Patients will be given loperamide based on body weight. The doses and schedules for loperamide 
included here are higher than the standard but consistent with COG protocols D9802, P9761, ARST0121, 
and ADVL0918. 
 
Be aware of your child's bowel movements. At the first sign they become softer than usual or if your child 
has any notable increase in the number of bowel movements over what is normal for him/her, begin taking 
loperamide (Imodium).  
 
Please follow these directions carefully, using dosing guidelines below: 
• 
Take _____________  at the first sign of diarrhea. 
• Continue taking __________ every 2 hours until the diarrhea slows or the normal pattern of 
bowel movements returns. Repeat the same doses and frequency if the diarrhea returns. 
• Do not exceed ___________ in a 24 hour period. 
• Please call your doctor if you have any questions about taking loperamide, if your child's diarrhea 
is not under control after two days, or if he/she is feeling extremely weak, lightheaded, or dizzy. 
• Make an extra effort to give your child lots of fluids (several glasses of pedialyte, fruit juices, 
soda, soup, etc.) while your child is participating in this study. 
• Side effects may include tiredness, drowsiness or dizziness. If your child experiences these side 
effects, or if your child is urinating less frequently than usual, please contact your child's 
physician. 
• 
Do not give your child any laxatives without consulting with his/her physician.

APPENDIX XVI: CTEP AND CTSU REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and National Cancer Institute (NCI) policy require all 
individuals contributing to NCI-sponsored trials to register and to renew their registration annually.  To 
register, all individuals must obtain a Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) Identity and Access 
Management (IAM) account (https://ctepcore.nci.nih.gov/iam).  In addition, persons with a registration type 
of Investigator (IVR), Non-Physician Investigator (NPIVR), or Associate Plus (AP) (i.e., clinical site staff 
requiring write access to OPEN, RAVE, or TRIAD or acting as a primary site contact) must complete their 
annual registration using CTEP’s web-based Registration and Credential Repository (RCR) 
(https://ctepcore.nci.nih.gov/rcr).  Documentation requirements per registration type are outlined in the table 
below.

An active CTEP-IAM user account and appropriate RCR registration is required to access all CTEP and 
CTSU (Cancer Trials Support Unit) websites and applications.  In addition, IVRs and NPIVRs must list all 
clinical practice sites and IRBs covering their practice sites on the FDA Form 1572 in RCR to allow the 
following: 
• 
Added to a site roster 
• 
Assigned the treating, credit, consenting, or drug shipment (IVR only) tasks in OPEN 
• 
Act as the site-protocol PI on the IRB approval 
• 
Assigned the Clinical Investigator (CI) role on the Delegation of Tasks Log (DTL).

CTSU Registration Procedures 
 
This study is supported by the NCI Cancer Trials Support Unit (CTSU). 
 
IRB Approval:   
Each investigator or group of investigators at a clinical site must obtain IRB approval for this protocol and 
submit IRB approval and supporting documentation to the CTSU Regulatory Office before they can be 
approved to enroll patients.  Assignment of site registration status in the CTSU Regulatory Support System 
(RSS) uses extensive data to make a determination of whether a site has fulfilled all regulatory criteria 
including but not limited to the following: 
• 
An active Federal Wide Assurance (FWA) number 
• 
An active roster affiliation with the Lead Network or a participating organization 
• 
A valid IRB approval 
• 
Compliance with all protocol specific requirements. 
 
In addition, the site-protocol Principal Investigator (PI) must meet the following criteria: 
• 
Active registration status 
• 
The IRB number of the site IRB of record listed on their Form FDA 1572 
• 
An active status on a participating roster at the registering site. 
 
Sites participating on the NCI CIRB initiative that are approved by the CIRB for this study are not required 
to submit IRB approval documentation to the CTSU Regulatory Office. For sites using the CIRB, IRB 
approval information is received from the CIRB and applied to the RSS in an automated process. Signatory 
Institutions must submit a Study Specific Worksheet for Local Context (SSW) to the CIRB via IRBManager 
to indicate their intent to open the study locally.  The CIRB’s approval of the SSW is then communicated 
to the CTSU Regulatory Office.  In order for the SSW approval to be processed, the Signatory Institution 
must inform the CTSU which CIRB-approved institutions aligned with the Signatory Institution are 
participating in the study. 
 
Requirements for ADVL1211 Site Registration: 
 
• 
IRB approval (For sites not participating via the NCI CIRB; local IRB documentation, an IRB-signed 
CTSU IRB Certification Form, Protocol of Human Subjects Assurance Identification/IRB 
Certification/Declaration of Exemption Form, or combination is accepted ) 
• 
For applicable studies with a radiation and/or imaging (RTI) component, the enrolling site must be 
aligned to a RTI provider.  To manage provider associations access the Provider Association tab on 
the CTSU website at https://www.ctsu.org/RSS/RTFProviderAssociation, to add or remove 
associated providers.  Sites must be linked to at least one IROC credentialed provider to participate on 
trials with an RT component. Enrolling sites are responsible for ensuring that the appropriate 
agreements are in place with their RTI provider, and that appropriate IRB approvals are in place.   
 
Submitting Regulatory Documents:  
Submit required forms and documents to the CTSU Regulatory Office, where they will be entered and 
tracked in the CTSU RSS.
