7. Availability of a representative FFPE tumor specimen collected within 24 months of starting first-line cabozantinib that enables the definitive diagnosis of CDC (the archival specimen must contain adequate viable tumor tissue to enable candidate biomarkers status; the specimen may consist of a tissue block or at least 15 unstained serial sections; for core needle biopsy specimens, at least two cores should be available for evaluation)
8. Sexually active fertile subjects and their partners must agree to use medically accepted methods of contraception (eg, barrier methods, including male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with spermicidal gel) during the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study treatment

5. Major surgery or trauma within 28 days before to study entry; the such as catheter placement not considered to be major surgery).
6. Known brain metastases or cranial epidural disease unless adequately treated with radiotherapy and/or surgery (including radiosurgery) and stable for at least 3 months before randomization.
7. Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding diathesis and/or clinically-significant GI bleeding within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment; 3 months for pulmonary hemorrhage and patients with tumor invading or encasing any major blood vessels.
8. Patients with GI disorders associated with a high risk of perforation or fistula formation.
9. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy.
10. Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric, or other conditions that could interfere with subject's safety, provision of informed consent, or compliance to study procedures.
11. Previous or ongoing treatment (except for adjuvant therapies) with any of the following anti-cancer therapies: chemotherapy, immunotherapy, target therapies, investigational therapy or hormonal therapy within 14 days or five half-lives of a drug (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of Cabozantinib
12. Inability to swallow tablets or capsules.
