Brief summary:
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of cabozantinib when given with radiation therapy and how well it works in treating patients with sarcoma of the extremities. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cabozantinib with radiation therapy may make the tumors smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

Detailed description:
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of cabozantinib followed by a phase II, dose-expansion study.

Patients receive cabozantinib S-malate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days until the completion of radiation therapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning Cycle 1 Day 8, patients also undergo standard of care radiation therapy for 5-6 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 12 weeks for up to 1 year, then every 6 months for up to 3 years.

Arms:
arm 1: Patients receive cabozantinib S-malate PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days until the completion of radiation therapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning cycle 1 day 8, patients also undergo standard of care radiation therapy for 5-6 weeks.

Interventions: intervention 1: Cabozantinib S-malate intervention 2: Radiation Therapy
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Given PO intervention 2: Undergo standard of care radiation therapy

PHASE OF 
DEVELOPMENT 
1/2 
STUDY 
OBJECTIVES 
Primary Objective(s)  
• Phase I: To determine if administration of cabozantinib is safe 
and feasible in combination with neoadjuvant radiation therapy. 
• Phase II: To assess the proportion of subjects alive and free of 
both local and distant disease recurrence (and progression after 
incomplete resection) one year after treatment initiation.   
 
Secondary Objective(s) 
• Rate of pathologic response. 
• Rate of surgical excision with negative margins. 
• Response rate (complete, partial, overall) of the combination 
therapy prior to surgery, as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. 
• Pattern of and time to local vs. distant recurrences. 
• Relapse-free and overall survival at various time points from 
study entry. 
• Safety and tolerability of combined treatment regimen, including 
the rate of discontinuation during the cabozantinib monotherapy 
component of the study. 
Exploratory Objective(s) 
• Comparison of pre- and post-treatment specimens to identify 
changes in activation of molecular pathways associated with 
MET genetic profiles associated with treatment response and 
with relapse-free survival.

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
• Evaluation of pre- and post-treatment specimens for mutational 
status of signaling pathways, including MAP-Kinase and AKT/m-
TOR pathways.   
• Explore changes in the immune microenvironment induced by 
this neoadjuvant treatment, in comparison to matched 
specimens obtained from the University of Washington 
pathology archives.  
• Radiomic studies to identify predictors of treatment response 
and relapse-free survival. 
 
STUDY 
ENDPOINTS 
Primary Endpoints

combination with radiation 
• Phase II: Rate of relapse at 12 months after treatment initiation. 
Secondary endpoints 
• Rate of pathologic response. 
• Rate of surgical excision with negative margins. 
• Response rate (complete, partial, overall) of the combination 
therapy prior to surgery, as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. 
• Pattern of and time to local vs. distant recurrences. 
• Relapse-free and overall survival at various time points from 
study entry. 
• Safety and tolerability of combined treatment regimen. 
• Rate of treatment discontinuation prior to neoadjuvant radiation 
therapy. 
Exploratory endpoints 
• Comparison of pre- and post-treatment specimens to identify

SAMPLE SIZE 
ESTIMATE 
Phase I/Dose Escalation: Expected 6, but up to 12 subjects to identify the 
MTD. Subjects enrolled to Phase 1 who withdraw for reasons other than 
toxicity during the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) period will be determined 
to be not evaluable and will be replaced. 
Phase II/Dose Expansion: 34 additional subjects 
For sample size determination, we assume the following:  
Null hypothesis: 1-yr RFS=75% 
Alternative hypothesis: 1-yr RFS=0.90 
Alpha=0.1 (one-sided) 
Beta=0.1 (power=90%) 
Total accrual=40 evaluable subjects. 
Anticipate accrual of 6 evaluable subjects from phase I component of 
study. 
34 subjects to accrue in phase II portion of study. 
Assuming 10% non-evaluable rate, 44 subjects would be accrued to the 
efficacy component of the study to yield 40 evaluable subjects. Subjects 
enrolled to Phase 2 who withdraw for toxicity during the initial lead-in 
cycle will be determined to be not evaluable and replaced. 
DURATION OF 
TREATMENT AND 
STUDY 
PARTICIPATION  
The study is expected to take approximately 36 months from first subject 
enrolled to last subject follow-up, including approximately 12 months of 
enrollment period, an estimated 5 months of treatment.

INTRODUCTION 
1.1. 
Soft Tissue Sarcoma 
1.1.1. 
Epidemiology 
Soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are mesenchymally derived cancers, with an estimated incidence of 
13,040 new cases and 7,370 deaths in the United States in 20181.  Their impact is made greater 
by the relatively young age population affected by them: this magnifies the impact of these 
diseases in terms of years-of-life lost versus more common cancers affecting older subjects.  
STS are also characterized by great heterogeneity: at least 173 histologic entities are classified 
as STS2.  The combination of these factors has hindered progress in the management of these 
conditions.  Sarcomas remain an underserved area in oncology, as recognized by the National 
Cancer Institute’s “Roadmap for Sarcoma Research”3. 
Soft tissue sarcomas are the subject of a staging system proposed by the American Joint 
Commission on Cancer4.  This incorporates data regarding the tumoral grade (a measure of 
proliferative rate), tumor size, tumor depth, presence of nodal involvement, and presence of 
distant metastases.  These data yield a staging classification from I (earliest disease) to IV (most 
advanced).  Long-term survival segregates strongly by stage, from 90% 5-year survival for those 
with stage I disease, to less than 20% for those with stage IV disease. 
1.1.2. 
Standard Treatment 
The therapy of non-metastatic sarcomas is dominated by surgery.  In certain cases, definitive 
radiation therapy may be used, such as in subjects who are not candidates for surgery, or for 
whom the cosmetic or functional results of surgery are unacceptable.  Surgery may be 
supplemented by adjuvant or neoadjuvant radiation therapy5.  For certain subtypes of 
sarcomas (osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma), the use of chemotherapy, 
administered prior to or after definitive local therapy with surgery or radiation, has 
demonstrated survival benefits.  For most other types of sarcomas, the benefits of 
chemotherapy are unclear5. 
For unresectable or metastatic STS, treatment is palliative5.  Systemic chemotherapy remains 
the backbone of treatment.  Surgery and/or radiotherapy may be useful to relieve symptoms, 
or, in a limited number of cases with uni- or oligo-metastatic disease, to provide definitive 
control.  In subjects with unresectable disease, the life expectancy is limited, with median 
survival of approximately 12-18 months6,7. 
In treatment of primary disease, the surgical status of the tumoral margins (the presence of 
viable tumor at the edge of the resection specimen and the distance from the resection margin 
to the tumor) is an important indicator of outcome.  Several systems exist for classifying the 
marginal status of tumors.  One of the more widely used classifies tumor resection status into 
R0 (complete resection of grossly/macroscopically evident tumor, with no evidence of residual 
microscopic disease at the margins of resection); R1 (complete resection of 
grossly/macroscopically evident tumor, but with microscopically evident disease at the margins 
of resection); and R2 (gross/macroscopically evident disease remains after attempted 
resection).

Marginal status is a key factor in the primary treatment, with positive margins being associated 
with increased risk of local recurrence and sarcoma-specific death8.  Risk of distant metastasis 
of disease is not, however, determined by the extent of surgery, as demonstrated by a study of 
amputation for primary treatment of extremity sarcomas9.  In multivariable Cox analysis, the 
probability of distant metastasis was determined by tumor size and histologic grade, rather 
than the type of local surgery (amputation versus limb-sparing procedure) undertaken to 
control the primary tumor.  Limb-sparing procedures lead to improved functional outcomes 
versus amputation, but do not alter anticipated survival10. 
1.1.3. 
Use of radiotherapy in adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapy 
While the traditional approach to soft tissue sarcoma surgery was amputation (in the 
extremities) or radical surgery in other locations, more conservative approaches, such as limb-
sparing approaches in STS of the extremities, have been adopted in recent decades11,12.  This 
has been facilitated by the widespread adoption of combined modality therapy, in which 
subjects with resectable or potentially resectable disease receive combination therapy with 
both surgery and radiation therapy.  Radiation therapy to the resection site may be 
administered post-operatively (known as “adjuvant” therapy”) or pre-operatively (known as 
“neoadjuvant” therapy). 
No clear difference in efficacy is apparent between neoadjuvant and adjuvant use of 
radiotherapy11,12,13,14.  However, pre-operative approaches allow use of lower doses of 
radiotherapy and smaller radiation fields15.  While associated with higher rates of complication 
in subsequent tumor surgery wound healing, pre-operative therapy yields lower rates of long-
term complications attributable to radiation therapy16.  This observation is consistent with the 
known radiobiology of late radiation toxicity, which exhibits a threshold effect17.  Small 
increases in radiation dose may be associated with marked increases in toxicity.  An increase in 
dose from a total of 50 Gy typically given neoadjuvantly to 60-66 Gy administered adjuvantly 
may explain the increase in late toxicity with adjuvant radiotherapy14,15,18. 
Two randomized trials comparing adjuvant (post-operative) radiation therapy to no adjuvant 
therapy have been reported19,20.  In one study, a limb-sparing surgical procedure combined with 
adjuvant radiotherapy was compared to amputation of the affected extremity19.  All subjects 
also received post-operative chemotherapy.  This was administered concurrently with 
radiotherapy in those undergoing limb-sparing procedures.  Local recurrence rates at the site of 
resection were higher in the group undergoing limb-sparing procedure (80% vs 0% at 5 years), 
although the study was quite small, with only 43 subjects enrolled.  No difference in disease-
free or overall survival was reported. 
The second study randomized subjects undergoing a limb-sparing procedure to receive 
adjuvant radiation therapy (n=70) or no additional local therapy (n=71) [19].  For those with 
high histological grade, chemotherapy was administered concurrently with radiation.  Local 
recurrence rates were suppressed, irrespective of histologic grade, with overall local recurrence 
of 1% in those treated with post-operative radiotherapy versus 24% in those not receiving 
radiotherapy.  In the subset with high-grade tumors, no difference in metastatic disease-free or 
overall survival was evident based on radiotherapy assignment status.

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
These studies have some limitations19,20.  Both studies had relatively small sample sizes, 
especially the earlier study enrolling only 43 subjects, and both included chemotherapy in 
addition to post-operative radiotherapy.  Local control was superior in both studies when 
radiation was included.  No survival difference was observed based on administration of 
radiotherapy, implying that local control did not necessarily determine survival.  The possibility 
of synergism between chemotherapy and radiation therapy was not addressed, nor were issues 
of toxicity.  Neoadjuvant radiotherapy has not been compared to surgery alone. 
The combination of surgery with either post-operative or pre-operative radiation therapy, the 
latter being the subject of this proposal, is quite effective in achieving local control of disease.  
One randomized study compared pre- and post-operative radiotherapy in treatment of 
extremity soft tissue sarcomas, with the primary endpoint of toxicity21.  Among the 186 subjects 
evaluable for secondary efficacy measures, there was no difference in rate of local control, 
development of regional/distant relapse, and progression-free survival (log rank p=0.70, 0.79 
and 0.83, respectively).  Survival for post-operatively treated subjects was inferior (median 
follow-up=3.3 year; 85% alive pre-operative vs. 72% post-operative, log rank p=0.0481).  This 
was due to an increased number of deaths due to sarcomas and to non-malignant causes in the 
post-operative group.   
A large retrospective analysis of 1225 sarcoma subjects treated over 39 years at a single major 
center supports these observations13.  Neither treatment sequence with respect to radiation 
therapy and surgery nor receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with local control, 
metastatic recurrence, disease-free survival, or disease-specific survival.  Tumor size and tumor 
grade were associated with all three of these efficacy outcomes, with large, high-grade tumors 
being unfavorable. 
1.1.4. 
Use of chemotherapy in adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapy 
Administration of systemic chemotherapy in the primary treatment of STS could have several 
theoretical benefits.  First, chemotherapy may have a direct effect on the existing primary 
tumor, allowing complete resection with negative margins (an R0 resection).  The ability to 
achieve a negative marginal status is independently associated with local control, disease-free 
survival and disease-specific survival8,13.  Second, chemotherapy may be able to eradicate 
micrometastatic disease prior to it becoming clinically apparent (and generally ineradicable 
with current systemic therapies).  This is perhaps best exemplified by the experience with 
sarcomas of childhood, osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma22.  Finally, 
systemic therapy, given during or in the vicinity of radiation therapy, may enhance the effects 
of radiation therapy. 
The use of peri-operative chemotherapy has been assessed in a number of randomized trials, 
which have been the subject of meta-analyses23,24.  Specifically, these analyses include 
randomized trials employing anthracycline-based chemotherapy, primarily doxorubicin.  
Doxorubicin was administered alone, or in combination with other chemotherapy agents.  In 
both analyses, anthracycline-based chemotherapy was associated with improvement in risk of 
local, distant, and overall relapse.  Neither analysis indicated a survival benefit associated with 
doxorubicin therapy.  The analysis of Pervaiz and colleagues indicated that the combination of

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
doxorubicin and ifosfamide appeared to be associated with a survival benefit, estimated at an 
11% reduction in risk of recurrence23. 
A large study of adjuvant therapy in soft-tissue sarcomas with doxorubicin and ifosfamide was 
recently reported25.  This study enrolled 351 subjects. Neither relapse-free nor overall survival 
was improved by administration of chemotherapy.  Subgroup analysis suggested benefit in 
those with large, high-grade tumors.  An earlier randomized trial from the Italian Sarcoma 
Group suggested that subjects with large, high grade tumors might benefit from peri-operative 
chemotherapy26.  Participation was limited to those subjects with tumors at least 5 cm in 
maximal dimension and high histologic grade.  This study demonstrated an improvement in 
disease-free survival at two years, the primary endpoint of the study (72% chemotherapy 
versus 45% control, p=0.003).  Although an initial survival benefit was reported, this secondary 
outcome was not maintained with continued follow-up27. 
A retrospective study of French sarcoma subjects also identified tumor grade as a key factor in 
identifying benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy28.  In multivariable Cox regression analysis, 
adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with improved survival in those with grade 3 (high), but 
not grade 2 (intermediate) tumors.  Subject age, tumor size, and the presence of bone or 
neurovascular invasion were adverse in both grade 2 and 3 subjects, while anatomic site was a 
prognostic factor only in those with grade 3 tumors. 
Only one randomized study of neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been reported29.  This study 
enrolled subjects with high-risk sarcomas, defined as the following groups: those greater than 8 
cm in maximal dimension; those of intermediate (grade II) or high (grade III) histologic grade; 
grade II/III locally recurrent tumors; and grade II/III tumors inadequately treated within 6 weeks 
of randomization and requiring further surgery.  Eligible subjects were randomized to receive 
three pre-operative cycles of chemotherapy with doxorubicin and ifosfamide or no 
chemotherapy.  After surgery, subjects with selected high-risk features received adjuvant 
radiation therapy. 
This study was initially intended to allow feasibility assessment as part of a lead-in to a phase III 
assessment of the regimen.  The primary endpoint of the proposed phase III was detection of a 
15% improvement in 5-year survival.  This would have a required enrollment of 269 subjects.  
The study was closed due to slow accrual after enrollment of 134 evaluable subjects (67 per 
arm).  No improvement in disease-free or overall survival was observed.  The authors concluded 
that the negative results of this admittedly underpowered trial argued against a major survival 
benefit for the regimen.  Nevertheless, the results did not exclude the proposed 15% benefit 
that the phase III trial would have been powered to detect. 
At least four factors have been cited as possible reasons for the failure of peri-operative 
chemotherapy to improve outcome in subjects with primary soft tissue sarcomas27.  First, 
sarcomas represent a diverse group of related, but distinct, disease entities.  This may increase 
population heterogeneity, reducing the power of trials.  Combined with the reasonable size of 
the population available for participation, this may make detection of beneficial effects difficult 
with trials of the size that can reasonably be generated.

Second, the efficacy of local treatment with surgery and/or radiotherapy may also be improving 
over time, such as by the introduction of new radiotherapy techniques27.  This may produce 
better primary treatment results, making assumptions regarding anticipated treatment 
outcomes less reliable.  Power calculations based on earlier studies may therefore overestimate 
the relapse rate in the control group.  This again can lead the trials to be underpowered for 
their endpoints.  
Third, even using presently known criteria, there is heterogeneity with respect to the 
populations that are enrolled in trials27.  Two trials and a retrospective cohort analysis cited 
previously suggested that larger, high-grade tumors are most likely to benefit from peri-
operative chemotherapy25,26, 28.  Host factors may also be important in determining outcome. 
Fourth, most trials to date have been based on the use of anthracycline-based chemotherapy27.  
Although this class of drug has activity in sarcomas, there may be some sarcoma subtypes that 
are more or less sensitive to anthracycline effects5.  Furthermore, sarcoma subtypes have been 
identified which demonstrate non-responsiveness to cytotoxic chemotherapy but were 
previously included in clinical trials.  The exclusion of those subtypes, such as gastrointestinal 
stromal tumors (previously classified as a type of leiomyosarcoma), from trials of cytotoxic 
agents is important.  Such sarcoma subtypes would not respond to cytotoxic agents and would 
statistically minimize differences between intervention and control groups.    This further 
depresses the power of studies already struggling under the disease heterogeneity and 
relatively small pool of eligible subjects. 
1.1.5. 
Use of chemoradiotherapy in adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapy 
Several studies have evaluated the use of neoadjuvant protocols combining pre-operative 
radiotherapy with chemotherapy.  One study assessed a regimen of three cycles of pre-
operative doxorubicin, ifosfamide and dacarbazine (“MAID”) chemotherapy, with radiation 
therapy.  Subjects with positive surgical margins received additional post-operative radiation, 
and subjects received an additional three cycles of post-operative MAID therapy30.  Subjects 
enrolled had intermediate or high-grade (grade II or III) tumors at least 8 cm in maximal 
dimension.  The treatment group of 48 subjects was compared to 48 historical controls, 12 of 
whom had received some form of adjuvant chemotherapy.  Controls were subjects from the 
same institution who were matched with respect to tumor size, grade, age at diagnosis, and era 
of treatment. 
While the primary endpoint was not explicitly stated, positive margins were observed in 15% 
(7/48) of the experimental treated subjects at the time of surgery versus 19% (9/48) of the 
matched controls.  There was no difference in the rate of local control between the two groups.  
Distant metastasis-free, disease-free and overall survival however heavily favored the group 
treated with the MAID regimen.  The non-randomized nature of the study implies that the 
results must be taken with caution. 
This regimen was assessed again in a retrospective review of subjects treated more recently at 
the same institution31.  No control group was presented in this analysis.  Surgical margins were 
positive in 11% of resection specimens.  Local and distant metastasis-free rate at 5 years was 91 
and 64%.  The authors attempted to identify factors associated with clinical outcomes using Cox

analysis but were unable to identify any factors in the dataset analyzed.  Again, it is difficult to 
evaluate the value of this chemoradiotherapy treatment regimen due to lack of an adequate 
control group. 
A prospective study from a single center evaluated pre-operative administration of doxorubicin, 
followed by a 10-day regimen of radiotherapy, in subjects to undergo sarcoma resection32.  75 
subjects were enrolled in the study.  Tumors were greater than 5 cm in 66% of the subjects and 
intermediate- or high-grade (grade II/III) in 71%.  In 11% (8/75), surgical margins were positive 
for residual sarcoma.  Subjects with positive margins had 5-year local control of only 50%, 
versus 97% for those with negative margins.  Tumor grade and tumor stage (reflecting tumor 
size, depth and anatomic extent of involvement) were associated with the risk of death in 
multivariable Cox analysis.  Wound complications occurred in 11 (15%) of the 75 subjects, 
including 3 subjects requiring re-operation.  Like the studies above, interpretation of this one is 
hampered by lack of a control group. 
A retrospective analysis examined results of 112 subjects treated with various neoadjuvant 
chemoradiotherapy regimens, neoadjuvant radiation, or with surgery alone33.  All three 
treatment groups had high rates of margin negativity at the time of surgery (86-91%).  For all 
subjects, there was no difference in rate of local control rate, distant metastasis free survival or 
overall survival.  For those with primary tumors greater than 5 cm, overall survival was superior 
when the radiation-treated groups were compared to those treated only with surgery.  
However, only 7 subjects treated with surgery alone fell into this group. 
A great deal of work has been undertaken, primarily using the anthracycline doxorubicin alone 
and in combinations (especially with ifosfamide), to evaluate the value of peri-operative 
cytotoxic therapy in soft tissue sarcomas.  Use of this drug in peri-operative setting is 
problematic.  While this drug is among the most active as monotherapy for sarcomas, it can 
cause a dose-dependent cardiomyopathy5.  This limits the lifetime dose of the drug, as 
excessive amounts can cause treatment-refractory heart failure.  Doxorubicin can also be 
associated with enhancement of radiation-associated skin toxicity34.  In the absence of proven 
peri-operative benefit, use of doxorubicin alternatives would be sensible: this would reserve 
the agent for treatment of metastatic disease in those later developing metastatic disease and 
avoid the risk of cardiotoxicity in the subjects who did not have recurrent disease.  Further, the 
results cited earlier indicating that tumoral biology is a key determinant of outcome suggest 
that agents exploiting sarcoma and radiation biology might be very desirable to explore in 
combination regimens of radiotherapy and systemic therapy. 
Even if a subject is ultimately cured of the condition, treatment can have lifelong impact.  
Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment.  Due to the relatively advanced condition that 
subjects often present with, surgery to render subjects disease-free is often cosmetically and 
functionally disfiguring.  While rehabilitation is a key component of the treatment process, it 
cannot entirely solve the deficits consequent to proper sarcoma treatment. 
Radiation therapy (RT) is a critical component of optimal sarcoma therapy.  While occasionally 
used as definitive therapy, RT is more often used in coordination with surgery.  Administered 
neoadjuvantly or adjuvantly, RT improves local control, and may allow tumors initially 
considered unresectable to be removed successfully.  Although based on retrospective analysis,

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
recent data from one group suggest that peri-operative RT may also convey a survival benefit.  
This remains to be confirmed by additional analyses. 
Surgery combined with radiation therapy provides excellent local disease control, providing 
definitive local control in about 85-90% of subjects.  Results with high-risk tumors are less 
successful.  “High-risk” tumors are those that are large (generally greater than 5 cm in maximal 
dimension), high histologic grade, and/or located in surgically challenging positions.  Further, 
these therapies do not address the major reason for the ultimate failure of treatment in most 
cases: distant metastasis.  Approaches to improve local control and simultaneously address 
distant treatment failure are needed.  Systemic therapy approaches may be most useful for 
this. 
Up to now, peri-operative systemic therapy of sarcomas has demonstrated clear benefit only in 
sarcomas associated with childhood: osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma.  
In these diseases, this therapy has both a local control and distant control advantage, leading to 
marked improvements in survival over local therapy alone.  Similar benefits have not been 
demonstrated through use of current agents in the majority of STS. 
Systemic, peri-operative therapy of most STS is reserved for those with high-risk tumors likely 
to pose difficulties in complete surgical extirpation.  Combination therapy, typically with 
Adriamycin and ifosfamide (a regimen known as “AIM”), yields a significant response rate 
(estimated ORR about 26%).  A treatment response may improve the quality of subsequent 
local therapy with surgery and radiation therapy.  Whether such therapy impacts control of 
distant micro-metastatic disease is unclear. 
AIM poses several problems in this setting: 
i) 
While it has the highest documented response rate of any general STS 
regimen, it is still only 26%.  Benefit can only be determined empirically.  
Thus, subjects must suffer the significant toxicity and logistical complexity of 
the regimen in exchange for, more likely than not, no discernible benefit. 
ii) 
Adriamycin, an important component of the regimen, is incompatible with 
concurrent RT.  Thus, any possible synergism to be derived from concurrent 
chemoradiotherapy is lost. 
iii) 
Traditionally, peri-operative systemic therapy regimens have been derived 
from those with previously demonstrated activity in the metastatic setting.  
In the metastatic setting, a clear survival benefit for AIM therapy over 
Adriamycin monotherapy has been excluded.  Clear evidence of survival 
benefits for Adriamycin-based, peri-operative systemic therapy is lacking, 
despite significant efforts.  If such benefit exists, it is modest, at best.    
iv) 
 If effects on distant disease are a major focus of peri-operative systemic 
therapy, then Adriamycin monotherapy might be considered.  However, 
response rates for Adriamycin monotherapy are only about 10%.

peri-operative setting would sacrifice one of the few documented benefits of 
multi-agent therapy with AIM: its increased response rate. 
v) 
AIM is relatively toxic therapy.  Subjects must be in good physical condition 
with good performance status and end-organ function to be considered for 
this therapy.  Due to either disease status or co-morbidities, subjects may not 
be able to receive AIM therapy.   
New approaches to peri-operative systemic therapy of STS are desperately needed.

Cabozantinib Background 
Cabozantinib (XL184) is an inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). It is provided 
as both capsules and tablets, but the two formulations are not interchangeable. Cometriq® 
(cabozantinib capsules, 140 mg) was approved by the United States Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) on 29 November 2012 for the treatment of subjects with progressive, 
metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). On 21 March 2014, cabozantinib capsules were 
approved by the European Commission for the treatment of adult subjects with progressive, 
unresectable locally advanced or metastatic MTC. Cabometyx™ (cabozantinib tablets, 60 mg) 
was approved by FDA on 25 April 2016 for subjects with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) 
who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy and by the European Commission on 09 
September 2016 for the treatment of advanced RCC in adults who have received prior vascular 
endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy. 
The targets of cabozantinib include several RTKs known to play important roles in tumor cell 
proliferation and/or tumor neovascularization, namely MET (hepatocyte growth factor [HGF] 
receptor), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2, also known as KDR), AXL, and 
RET. Other recognized targets of cabozantinib include ROS1, TRKA, TRKB, TYRO3, MER, two 
additional members of the VEGFR family (VEGFR1, VEGFR3), and the closely-related RTKs KIT 
and FLT-3. In vivo pharmacodynamic activity of cabozantinib against MET, VEGFR2, AXL, and 
RET has been demonstrated in preclinical studies and has been associated with tumor growth 
inhibition and tumor regression. In preclinical studies, cabozantinib treatment has also been 
shown to inhibit tumor angiogenesis and tumor invasiveness and metastasis. 
In nonclinical toxicology studies of cabozantinib in rodents and non-rodents, histopathological 
changes associated with cabozantinib administration were observed in gastrointestinal (GI) 
tract, bone marrow, lymphoid tissues, kidney, adrenal, and reproductive tract tissues, and 
secondary changes were observed in bone and pancreas. Cabozantinib tested negative in 
bacterial and mammalian cell genotoxicity assays in vitro. In reproductive toxicity studies, 
cabozantinib was embryotoxic in rats, produced fetal soft tissue changes in rabbits, produced 
fetal external malformations in rats, and decreased fertility in male and female rats. The 
metabolite present at highest concentrations in humans administered cabozantinib, EXEL-1644, 
was negative in an in vitro bacterial genotoxicity bioassay and caused no systemic tissue toxicity 
in rats. In a 2-year rat carcinogenicity study, cabozantinib-related neoplastic findings consisted 
of an increased incidence of benign pheochromocytoma, alone or in combination with 
malignant pheochromocytoma/complex malignant pheochromocytoma of the adrenal medulla 
in both sexes. No clinical cases of pheochromocytoma have occurred to date. No carcinogenic

1.3. 
Rationale for Combination of Cabozantinib with Radiation Therapy for High-Risk 
Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Extremities 
Given the established benefit of combination surgery and radiation therapy, systemic agents 
that increase the therapeutic index of radiotherapy in this relatively radio-resistant class of 
tumors would be desirable.  This would be most important in cases where surgical excision is 
likely to be complex.  In addition, agents that might treat pre-existing micro-metastatic disease 
would also be desirable. 
Targeting the MET oncogene represents a strategy to achieve some of these goals in the 
sarcoma setting.  MET dysregulation appears to be important and frequent in the STS 
pathogenesis, including in clear cell sarcoma35, synovial sarcoma36, leiomyosarcoma37, 
pleomorphic sarcoma37,38,39, rhabdomyosarcoma40,41, angiosarcoma38, epithelioid36, Ewing’s42, 
and alveolar soft part sarcoma43.  A phase II study was conducted with the MET inhibitor 
tivantinib, enrolling 47 subjects, primary with alveolar soft part sarcoma and clear cell 
sarcoma44.  These diseases were targeted due to their association with microphthalmia 
transcription factor (MiTF).  MiTF proteins lead to transcriptional activation of the MET gene.  
Among those with alveolar soft part sarcoma (n=27), median progression-free survival was 5.5 
months.  At least three studies are in progress to assess the activity of the MET inhibitor 
cabozantinib in advanced sarcomas (See ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01755195, NCT01979393, 
NCT02867592).  None of these seek to assess administration of the agent in combination 
therapy regimens or with neoadjuvant intent. 
MET inhibitors also have documented radiosensitizing effects.  Pre-clinical studies 
demonstrating such effects have been undertaken in non-small cell lung cancer45,46 and 
prostate cancer47.   Several mechanisms have been invoked for these radiosensitizing effects.  
These include: prevention of radiation-induced MET expression via the ATM-NFκB pathway, 
thereby preventing MET-mediated cell invasion; and anti-apoptotic effects48 and down-
regulation of the ATR-CHK1-CDC25 pathway49.  Critically, the latter mechanism enhances 
radiosensitivity in p53-deficient cells, a common circumstance in sarcomas. 
This trial will examine cabozantinib in combination with radiotherapy in the neoadjuvant 
setting.  Because of concerns regarding potential toxicities of the combination of a multi-
targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor like cabozantinib with radiotherapy (such as fistula 
formation50), this study will be restricted to those with sarcomas of the extremities.  Fistula 
formation has also been reported in studies of cabozantinib monotherapy51. The subject 
population to be enrolled will include all sarcoma subjects for whom neoadjuvant radiation to 
the extremities followed by surgical resection is planned.  
The results of this study may help to determine whether concurrent administration of 
cabozantinib and radiotherapy is feasible, and whether there is preliminary evidence of activity 
in this class of tumors.  Correlative studies will utilize specimens that are available pre-
treatment, at the time of resection, and at recurrence, if recurrence occurs.  These studies will 
investigate changes in molecular pathway activation during therapy; correlates of response or

addition, these studies will investigate radiomic metrics correlating with treatment response 
and relapse-free survival. 
1.4. 
Rationale for Starting Dose Selection  
Cabozantinib is presently approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma that has 
progressed despite prior anti-angiogenic therapy and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that has 
been previously treated with sorafenib51.  Recommended dose is 60 mg daily.  The drug is 
available in 20 mg tablets.  Dose reductions to 40 mg and 20 mg daily are possible in response 
to toxicity in the currently approved setting.  Below 20 mg daily, the drug is discontinued in the 
currently approved setting. 
 
In this study, we propose to initiate treatment using a 21-day dosing schedule. The following 
dose levels will be assessed: 
 
Dose Level 
Daily Dose of Cabozantinib 
-1 
20 mg Daily 
0 
40 mg Daily 
+1 
60 mg Daily 
 
Dose level +1 is the presently approved target dose of cabozantinib51.  Based on the reported 
half-life of the drug (99 hours51), dose reductions below 40 mg daily would be reasonable to 
consider, if the initial 40 mg daily dosing is not tolerated.  These would result in lower steady 
state concentrations of the drug.  Since one of the primary endpoints is to assess the 
radiosensitizing effects of cabozantinib, it would still be reasonable to explore doses that are 
less than would be administered when the drug is being used as monotherapy, if the full dose is 
not tolerable.

STUDY DESIGN 
This is an open label, dose-finding, single-arm, prospective phase 1/2 study to identify the 
recommended dose of cabozantinib given orally, once daily, in a 21-day cycle, plus radiation 
therapy in subjects with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities.  
The study will be conducted in compliance with International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) 
Good Clinical Practices (GCPs). 
3.1. 
Dose-finding Phase 1 Portion of the Study:   
Dose levels of cabozantinib will be tested in cohorts of 3 subjects each using the 3+3 dose-finding 
design.

In the dose-finding Phase 1 portion of the study, subjects will receive one week of therapy at the 
planned starting dosage as monotherapy prior to initiation of radiotherapy.  Starting at Cycle 1 
Day 8, subjects will initiate therapy concurrently with radiation therapy.  Subjects enrolled to 
phase 1 who withdraw prior to initiation of radiation therapy for any reason, or during the DLT 
period for reasons other than toxicity will be considered non-evaluable and will be replaced. A 
window of + 7 days is permitted for initiation of RT in relation to C1D8. It is recommended that 
subjects begin treatment on a Monday due to radiation scheduling, however this is not 
mandatory. At least 7 days must pass between C1D1 and initiation of radiation therapy. 
In the dose-finding Phase 1 portion of the study, dose levels of cabozantinib will be tested in 
cohorts of 3 subjects each using the 3+3 dose-finding design, with the starting dose of 40mg once 
daily, with potential dose escalation to 60 mg, or de-escalating to 20 mg daily. The daily dose of 
cabozantinib will not be increased to more than 60 mg per day. The DLT period will include all 
subjects enrolled to the phase 1 component of the study. The DLT period is defined as beginning 
on C1D8 and continuing until 28 days after completion of concurrent radiation therapy and 
cabozantinib. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed at the starting dose in the first 3 
subjects, the next dose cohort would enroll subjects at 60 mg. If 1 DLT is observed any dose 
cohorts in the first 3 subjects, then additional 3 subjects will be enrolled at that dose level. If ≤1 
of 6 subjects experience a DLT at the starting dose or higher, enrollment would continue to the 
next higher dose level. The first 3 subjects of each cohort must complete their DLT period prior 
to expanding the cohort to include additional subjects to ensure a second DLT is not seen in the 
first 3 subjects. If ≤1 of 6 subjects experience a DLT at the starting dose or higher, enrollment 
would continue to the next higher dose level. 
If ≥2 subjects experience a DLT at dose level higher than the starting dose, enrollment will be 
discontinued for that dose cohort and the previous dose level would be declared the maximum

tolerated dose (MTD). If ≥2 subjects experience a DLT at the starting dose of 40 mg once daily 
(and any lower dose level), further enrollment at that dose level will be discontinued and 
cabozantinib will be reduced to the next planned dose level.  
If a subject is considered Not Evaluable due to withdrawal for reasons other than toxicity during 
the DLT Period, they will be replaced. 
The MTD of cabozantinib is the highest dose level at which ≤1 of 6 (or 0 out of 3) subjects 
experienced a DLT, thus a target DLT rate of roughly 17%. It is possible that the MTD is not 
reached in this study (e.g., if no DLT observed in the first 3 subjects at 60 mg daily). Recommended 
Phase 2 dose (RP2D) is identified based of the totality of safety and efficacy data. Once the dose-
finding portion of the study is concluded and RP2D is identified, subjects receiving a lower dose 
may be allowed to receive cabozantinib at the RP2D, based on the investigator judgment. 
3.2. 
Dose Expansion Phase 2 Portion of the Study:  
The dose-expansion Phase 2 will be conducted using an open-label, single stage design. Subjects 
enrolled in the Phase 1 dose-escalation component of the study at the RP2D level and meeting 
all inclusion/exclusion criteria for the Phase 2 component of the study will be included for efficacy 
and safety evaluation in the Phase 2 efficacy component of the study.  
Subjects enrolled to the dose-expansion Phase 2 portion of the study will receive one week of 
cabozantinib monotherapy at the RP2D prior to initiating radiation therapy. Starting at Cycle 1 
Day 8, subjects will initiate therapy concurrently with radiation therapy.  Subjects enrolled to 
phase 2 who withdraw prior to initiation of radiation therapy will not be considered evaluable 
and will be replaced. A window of + 7 days is permitted for initiation of RT in relation to C1D8. It 
is recommended that subjects begin treatment on a Monday due to radiation scheduling, 
however this is not mandatory. At least 7 days must pass between C1D1 and initiation of radiation 
therapy. 
3.3. 
Study Duration, End of Study, End of Treatment, End of Treatment Visit, Follow-up 
Period 
The study is expected to take approximately 60 months from first subject enrolled to last subject 
follow-up, including approximately 36 months of enrollment period, an estimated 5 months of 
treatment (or until treatment is no longer tolerated).   
End of Treatment (EOT) for a subject is defined as the date of the last dose of cabozantinib. End 
of Treatment Visit for a subject is when safety assessments and procedures are performed after 
the date of the last dose of cabozantinib.   
30-Day Follow-Up for a subject is defined as 30 days (+/- 1 week) after the last dose of 
cabozantinib. This visit will include safety assessments.  
Follow-up period is the on-study time period after the EOT Visit.  
The End of Study (EOS) defined as either the date of the last visit of the last subject to complete 
the study, or the date of receipt of the last data point from the last subject that is required for 
primary, secondary, and/or exploratory analysis, as pre-specified in the protocol, whichever is 
later.

after screening will be recorded in the source documentation only.  
g Height is measured only at screening. Vitals signs to include respiration rate, temperature, systolic/diastolic blood pressure, and pulse. 
h Baseline scans should be done within 28 days prior to enrollment, preferably as close to C1D1 as possible. Repeat imaging should be completed every 12 weeks 
from C1D1 (+/- 2 weeks) for one year after initiation of protocol therapy based on the date of the C1D1 visit, or until disease recurrence/progression, 
withdrawal of consent, death, or end of study (whichever comes first) regardless of missed or out of window doses. MRI may be used if CT is contra indicated 
for a subject. The same mode of imaging at screening must be used consistently throughout the study. Baseline imaging must include CAP and the affected 
extremity. If subjects do not have disease in the A/P, imaging moving forward after baseline may omit those areas.  
i Cabozantinib will be administered daily. Subjects will complete a daily drug diary during treatment, to be reviewed on Day 1 of each cycle. Subjects with at least 
stable disease at the first post-RT imaging timepoint may continue to receive cabozantinib therapy for a maximum of 6 cycles, with treatment ending at least 28 
days prior to any scheduled surgery, including dental surgery. 
j Prior and concomitant medications, as well as any recent procedures should be documented at baseline. Prior medications/procedures include any medications 
or procedures completed ≤ 28 days prior to informed consent. 
k Follow up will continue to monitor disease status by imaging assessment of, at minimum, CT Chest and the affected extremity approximately every 12 weeks 
(±2 weeks), until either one (1) year has elapsed since initiating cabozantinib therapy based on the date of the C1D1 visit, death, withdrawal of consent, disease 
recurrence, or the study closes, whichever is the earliest. Thereafter, subjects will be followed for survival every 6 months (+/- 1 month) until 3 years have 
elapsed since initiating cabozantinib therapy based on the date of the C1D1 visit, disease recurrence, end-of-study, death, or withdrawal of consent, whichever 
is earliest. This evaluation may be made by review of publicly available information, record review and/or telephone contact.  
m Lipid panel should be fasting. 
n Optional tissue samples will be collected from archival tissue. Pre-treatment tissue should have been collected within 12 months prior to initiating protocol 
therapy. End of Treatment tissue samples may be collected from surgical resection, if applicable. If there is no surgical resection for any reason, end of 
treatment tissue samples will not be collected. No biopsies will occur solely for research collection.  
p 30 Day Follow-Up visit must occur 30 days from the date that the subject was last administered cabozantinib therapy. This visit has a window of +/- 7 days.  
q If urine protein/creatinine ratio is abnormal, a 24-hour urine collection should be collected for repeat UPC Ratio.   
r Radiation therapy may not be initiated prior to Cycle 1 Day 8. Radiation therapy must initiate within +7 days of the Cycle 1 Day 8 visit. All treatment plans for 
subjects that are not treated at the main study site will be submitted for review to the Sponsor-Investigator at least 1 week prior to the subject starting 
radiotherapy. It is recommended that outside treatment plans are received and reviewed as part of study eligibility and screening review. Review and approval 
of treatment plans for subjects receiving radiotherapy locally must be reviewed and approved by a radiation oncologist sub-investigator prior to initiation of 
radiotherapy.

PROCEDURES 
6.1. 
Screening Evaluations 
This study will be conducted at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA. Each subject who 
enters into the screening period for the study receives a unique subject identification number 
before any study-related procedures are performed. The subject identification number will be 
assigned. This number will be used to identify the subject throughout the clinical study and must 
be used on all study documentation related to that subject.  
The subject identification number must remain constant throughout the entire clinical study; it 
must not be changed after initial assignment, including if a subject is rescreened.  
Before subjects may be entered into the study, Exelixis requires a copy of the sites’ written 
IRB/IEC approval of the protocol, informed consent form, and all other subject information 
and/or recruitment material, if applicable. A signed and dated Institutional Review Board (IRB) 
approved informed consent form (latest approved version) must be obtained from each subject 
prior to performing any study-specific procedures. All subjects or legally acceptable 
representatives must personally sign and date the consent form before commencement of study-
specific procedures. Adverse events are to be collected for a subject once they have signed the 
informed consent.  
Screening evaluations will be performed for all subjects to determine study eligibility.  These 
evaluations must be obtained ≤28 days prior to enrollment, unless otherwise indicated. Baseline 
imaging should be obtained as close to initiation of protocol therapy as possible.  
The following procedures are to be completed during the 28-day screening period, after signed 
informed consent has been obtained, designated in the Schedule of Assessments found in Table 
2. 
• Demographics (if allowed by local regulations, date of birth, sex, race, and ethnicity) 
• Physical examination (including physical exam, medical/cancer history, ECOG 
performance status assessment)  
• Prior/concomitant medications and procedures evaluation: all medications taken, and 
procedures completed within ≤28 days prior to signing of informed consent  
• Vital signs (height [screening only], weight, temperature, sys/dias blood pressure, 
respiration rate, and pulse) 
• 12-lead Electrocardiogram single tracing 
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, by echocardiogram or MUGA) 
• Adverse event assessment 
• Local Laboratory Assessments: blood chemistry, complete blood count (CBC) + 
differential, complete urinalysis with microscopic evaluation, urine protein/creatinine 
ratio (UPCR), pregnancy test (women of child-bearing potential), HIV, hepatitis B 
surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, fasting lipids, thyroid function

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
• CT or MRI must be done within the 28-day screening period, but preferably should be 
done as close to enrollment as possible 
• Archival tissue collection (optional) 
A subject is considered enrolled when the investigator decides that the subject has met all 
eligibility criteria. The investigator is to document this decision and date, in the subject’s medical 
record and/or in/on the electronic case report form (eCRF). Subjects should initiate treatment 
within 14 days of being enrolled to the study (28-day screening window from date of consent to 
enrollment date, plus up to an additional 14 days from enrollment date to C1D1 [total elapsed 
time from initiating screening to initiating therapy may not exceed 42 days]).  
6.2. 
Treatment Period 
A subject is considered on treatment on study day 1 when the IP, cabozantinib, is first 
administered. Subjects should initiate treatment within 14 days of being enrolled to the study. 
Cabozantinib is to be administered after all other protocol-specified pre-dose assessments have 
been performed during each visit that it is required. Subjects will continue therapy until 
completion of planned course of treatment, disease progression, or unacceptable AEs. Subjects 
should be instructed to immediately inform the principal investigator (PI) of any AEs. Subjects 
experiencing dizziness, sleepiness, or other symptoms that could influence alertness or 
coordination should be advised not to drive or operate other heavy machinery. 
6.2.1. 
Duration of Treatment 
One week of neoadjuvant therapy with cabozantinib will be administered prior to initiation of 
radiotherapy. Initiation of radiation therapy should occur within +7 days of C1D8.  
Typically, RT regimens for neoadjuvant treatment of STS are 5-6 weeks, though may vary based 
on institutional preference.  Typically, an interval of 4-6 weeks exists between completion of RT 
and time of surgery.  Subjects with at least stable disease at the first post-RT imaging timepoint 
may continue to receive cabozantinib therapy for a maximum of 6 cycles, with treatment 
ending at least 28 days prior to any scheduled surgery, including dental surgery. 
6.2.2. 
Day 1 Assessment 
The following assessments will be performed on Day 1 of each cycle, unless otherwise specified: 
• Physical examination  
• Concomitant medication and procedures evaluation  
• Vital signs (weight, temperature, sys/dias blood pressure, respiration rate, and pulse) 
• ECOG performance status 
• CBC, differential

Disease Assessment  
Disease status will be assessed by CT or MRI scan. At baseline, imaging must include chest, 
abdomen, and pelvis (CAP), in addition to pertinent area of the extremity being treated (per 
institutional guidelines). If no disease is present in the abdomen/pelvis, these areas may be 
excluded from repeat imaging. Image preparation and evaluation will follow the specifications 
provided in the RECIST version 1.1. The same modality (CT or MRI) must be used at screening and 
throughout the study.  
CT/MRI scans to be performed at the following frequency: 
• ≤28 days prior to enrollment 
• Followed by every 12 weeks (± 2 weeks) from C1D1 for 12 months after initiation of 
protocol therapy (based on the date of C1D1) until disease recurrence, withdrawal of 
consent, end of study, completion of protocol participation, or death – whichever 
occurs first.  
An unscheduled scan for suspected disease recurrence/progression may be performed at any 
time at investigator discretion.

DESCRIPTION OF STUDY TREATMENTS  
7.1. 
Cabozantinib 
7.1.1. 
Cabozantinib Dosage, Administration, and Schedule 
Subjects will receive cabozantinib orally at a (starting) dose of 40 mg once daily.  
Cabozantinib must be taken on an empty stomach.  Subjects must be instructed not to eat for at 
least 2 hours before and at least 1 hour after taking cabozantinib.  Subjects should be instructed 
to take their cabozantinib dose at approximately the same time every day.  If a subject misses a 
dose, the dose may be taken later only if it is within 12 hours of when the missed dose should 
have been taken.  The missed dose should not be made up if it is within 12 hours of the next 
scheduled dose (e.g., if a subject is scheduled to take their dose at 8AM but misses it, they may 
take that missed dose any time before 8PM that day).  If a subject vomits the dose after taking 
it, skip the dose and resume the next dose at the regularly scheduled time.  
Cabozantinib tablets should be swallowed whole with at least 8 ounces of water.  The tablets 
should not be crushed. Grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, and their products should be 
avoided by subjects taking cabozantinib. 
In all subjects, dose reductions and delays to manage toxicity are allowed under the guidelines in 
7.1.2 below.

7.1.2. 
Cabozantinib Dose Modification and Stopping Rules 
The following should be taken into consideration in decisions regarding dose modifications 
(reductions or interruption): 
• As a general approach all AEs should be managed with supportive care at the earliest 
signs of toxicity considered related to the study treatment. Should this be ineffective, 
dose interruptions and/or reductions should be considered to prevent worsening of 
toxicity.  
• The assigned starting dose for cabozantinib is 40 mg/day. The dose level may go to -1 as 
seen in Table 4. Further dose reductions beyond 20 mg daily are not permitted.  
• Dose modification criteria for cabozantinib are shown in Table 5 and 6. Dose 
interruptions and/or reductions should be implemented for unacceptable toxicity. Doses 
may be modified at any time while a subject is on treatment.

• Dose reductions or interruptions may also occur in the setting of lower grade toxicity if 
the investigator feels it is in the interest of a subject’s safety and will optimize drug 
tolerability. 
• Interruption of cabozantinib treatment for cabozantinib-related AEs may occur at any 
time per investigator discretion. If treatment is interrupted due to related AEs for more 
than 6 weeks, cabozantinib should be discontinued. 
Dose interruptions for reason(s) other than treatment-related AEs (e.g., surgical procedures, 
upper respiratory infection, common cold) can be longer than 6 weeks per the discretion of the 
investigator. 
Guidelines for the management of specific AEs are provided in Section 10.2.2.

• Subject is deriving clear clinical benefit as determined by 
the investigator 
• Toxicity can be managed with a dose reduction following 
recovery to Grade 1 (or baseline) and optimal medical care  
Note: The dose delay and modification criteria for specific medical conditions are provided in 
Section 10.2.2. 
a Study treatment dose adjustment is only needed if the toxicity was deemed related to 
cabozantinib treatment or had an unclear relationship to cabozantinib treatment. 
 
7.2. 
Radiation Therapy 
Subjects will receive planned radiation as part of standard clinical care. The typical pre-
operative radiotherapy dose will range from 5000 – 5040 cGy delivered with conventional 
fractionation (180 – 200 cGy per fraction). Other details of the radiation treatment, such as 
scheduling, are to be completed per institutional standard, at the discretion of the treating 
radiation oncologist. Radiation oncologists seeking further guidance in radiation planning (i.e. 
RTOG Consensus Sarcoma Target Volume Definitions) may refer to Appendix 2. 
7.2.1. 
Simulation 
Subjects will be immobilized in a safe and reproducible position to allow accurate delivery of 
radiotherapy.  Understanding that the anatomic considerations for immobilization may vary 
depending on the location of the tumor, a variety of immobilization devices may be used 
including: vacuum-bags, Alpha Cradles, thermoplastic casts, customized molds.  Aquaplast 
molds are recommended for reliable immobilization of distal extremities (hands or feet). 
Positioning for immobilization will also be chosen to minimize radiation dose to non-target 
critical structures (for instance, a contralateral limb, torso, pelvis, head, etc). 
CT Simulation will be performed for all subjects.  When possible, appropriate diagnostic studies 
will be fused with the simulation CT to aid in target delineation (MRI T1 contrast-enhanced and 
T2 sequences, PET CT).  Administration of IV contrast during simulation is optional at the 
discretion of the treating radiation oncologist.  If IV contrast is administered, the density of the 
contrast should be overridden on the planning scan to provide more accurate dose calculation.  
Alternately a separate non-contrast scan can be obtained and used for dose calculation and 
planning.

7.2.2. 
Planning 
Treatment will be delivered using 3D conformal radiotherapy, IMRT, or proton therapy.  CT 
based planning is required. Target expansion guidelines are to follow protocol-defined 
parameters regardless of treatment modality. 
IMRT is the preferred radiotherapy technique and anticipated to be the most likely treatment 
modality for extremity tumors that approximate critical structures (bone, lymphatics) or involve 
a significant portion of the circumference of the extremity (with IMRT utilized to reduce 
lymphedema risk).   
For peripheral tumors that do not approximate critical structures, 3D conformal radiotherapy 
may be appropriate.   
Proton therapy may be utilized for tumors that approximately critical structures that cannot be 
adequately protected using 3D conformal radiotherapy or IMRT.  
Normal structure dose constraints: 
Long bones (i.e. femur, radius, ulna, humerus, etc):  
• Max dose 5500 cGy 
• Mean dose < 3700 cGy.   
• 5000 cGy line should not cover the entire circumference of a long bone unless the tumor 
encases said bone. 
Femoral neck (right or left):   
• Max dose 5000 cGy 
• Mean dose < 4500 cGy 
Every effort should be made to avoid treating the entire circumference of a limb to avoid risk of 
lymphedema. 
Skin:   
• Skin will be defined as a 5mm rind 
• V2000 cGy (volume of skin receiving 2000 cGy) should be < 50% 
• Max dose to the skin surface should be kept below 3000 cGy when possible.   
• However, if the PTV extends close to the skin surface then PTV coverage will be 
prioritized over the skin dose constraint. 
• The use of bolus is discouraged unless it is used to ensure coverage of tumor that 
invades to the surface of the skin (as in fungating tumors). 
Other normal anatomy should follow standard QUANTEC dose constraints. 
7.2.3. 
Prescription Guidelines 
The targets will be specified as: 
• GTV_5000 or GTV_5040: This is the gross tumor seen on CT as well as MRI T1 
contrast enhanced images.  Fusion of MRI and CT is recommended when possible.

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
• CTV_5000 or CTV_5040: This target includes the gross tumor and an additional 
margin to account for microscopic disease.  This is defined as the GTV with a 3 cm 
longitudinal margin and 1.5 cm radial margin.  All edema concerning for tumor 
involvement as identified on T2 weighted MRI should be included in the CTV.  CTV 
borders can be trimmed at anatomic barriers to tumor spread such as bone, the 
edges of a muscle compartment, other fascial planes, or skin surface.   
• PTV_5000 or PTV_5040: This is a 5mm expansion of the CTV to account for setup 
error and organ motion.  The PTV does not extend beyond the skin surface.  Daily 
image guidance (IGRT) through cone beam CT or kilovoltage imaging should be 
performed.  If daily IGRT is not feasible, the use of an expanded PTV margin may be 
utilized on a per-subject basis per approval by the delegated radiation oncologist 
investigator.   
PTV coverage guidelines (5000 cGy in 25 fractions): 
• Minimum dose: 
4650 cGy, and at least 95% of the PTV_5000 receives 4750 cGy 
• Maximum dose:  5650 cGy, and no more than 15% of PTV_5000 receives > 5500 
cGy. 
• If PTV_5000 extends to the skin surface but there is no direct tumor involvement at 
the skin surface, then a PTV eval can be created as a copy of PTV_5000 subtracted 
3mm beneath the skin surface.  PTV eval can then be used to evaluate target 
coverage. 
PTV coverage guidelines (5040 cGy in 28 fractions): 
• Minimum dose: 
4687 cGy, and at least 95% of the PTV_5040 receives 4788 cGy 
• Maximum dose:  5695 cGy, and no more than 15% of the PTV receives > 5544 cGy. 
• If PTV_5040 extends to the skin surface but there is no direct tumor involvement at 
the skin surface, then a PTV eval can be created as a copy of PTV_5040 subtracted 
3mm beneath the skin surface.  PTV eval can then be used to evaluate target 
coverage. 
7.2.4. 
Treatment Delivery 
Treatment will be delivered daily, typically Monday through Friday, over 25-28 fractions. Use of 
bolus is discouraged unless tumor directly involves the overlying skin surface. 
7.2.5. 
Treatment Interruption and Dose Modifications 
Treatment interruptions should be minimized. Any treatment interruption of > 3 days (not 
including holidays or weekends) must be reported to the Sponsor-Investigator. 
7.2.6. 
Quality Assurance 
Subject specific treatment plan QA measurements are required for IMRT and proton treatment 
plans.  Secondary monitor unit calculations are required for all 3D conformal treatment plans. 
All treatment plans for subjects that are not treated at the main study site will be submitted for 
review to the Sponsor-Investigator at least 1 week prior to the subject starting radiotherapy. It

SAFETY 
9.1. 
Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities 
9.1.1. 
Adverse Events (AEs) 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical trial subject administered a 
medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this 
treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g. an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporarily associated with the use of a 
medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An adverse 
event can arise from any use of the drug (e.g. off-label use, use in combination with another 
drug) and with any route of administration, formulation, or dose, including an overdose. This 
definition also includes AEs associated with medication errors and uses of the investigational 
product outside what is in the protocol, including misuse and abuse. Pre-existing medical 
conditions that worsen during the study should be recorded as AEs. Abnormal laboratory 
values, ECG findings, or vital signs are to be recorded as AEs if they meet the criteria described 
in this protocol. All untoward events that occur after informed consent through 30 days after 
the decision to discontinue study treatment are to be recorded by the investigational site. This 
requirement includes AEs from unscheduled as well as scheduled visits and includes the new 
onset of or increase in pain during this period. 
Seriousness, severity grade, and relationship to study treatment will be assessed by the 
investigator. Severity grade and adverse event term will be defined by the current version of 
the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), 
version 5.0. 
For management of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events, refer to Section 10. 
9.1.2. 
Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) 
The SAE definition and reporting requirements are in accordance with the International 
Conference of Harmonisation (ICH) Guideline for Clinical Safety Data Management: Definitions 
and Standards for Expedited Reporting, Topic E2A. 
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:  
• Result in death; 
• Is life-threatening (i.e., in the opinion of the investigator, the AE places the subject at 
risk of death; it does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, 
might have caused death); 
• Requires subject hospitalization or results in prolongation of an existing hospitalization; 
o Note: While most hospitalizations necessitate reporting of an SAE, some 
hospitalizations do not require SAE reporting, as follows: elective or previously 
scheduled surgeries or procedures for pre-existing conditions that have not 
worsened after initiation of treatment (e.g., a previously scheduled ventral

hernia repair); pre-specified study hospitalizations for observation; or events 
that result in hospital stays of fewer than 24 hours and that do not require 
admission (e.g., an ER visit for hematuria that results in a diagnosis of cystitis and 
discharge home on oral antibiotics).  SAEs must, however, be reported for any 
surgical complication resulting in prolongation of the hospitalization. 
• Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity: 
o Note: The term “disability” refers to events that result in a substantial disruption 
of a subject’s ability to conduct normal life function. 
• Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect; 
• Is an important medical event (IME):  
o Note: The term “important medical event” refers to an event that, based upon 
appropriate medical judgment, may not be immediately life-threatening or result 
in death or hospitalization, but may jeopardize the subject or require 
intervention to prevent one of the other serious outcomes listed. Examples of 
IMEs include intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic 
bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not result in 
hospitalization; or development of product dependency or product abuse. 
 
9.1.3. 
Relationships to Study Treatment 
Assessment of the relationship of the AE to the study treatment by the investigator is based on 
the following two definitions: 
• Not Related: A not-related AE is defined as an AE that is not associated with the study 
treatment and is attributable to another cause or there is no evidence to support a 
causal relationship. Unrelated and unlikely related AEs should be documented as not 
related. 
• Related: A related AE is defined as an AE where a causal relationship between the event 
and the study treatment is a reasonable possibility. A reasonable causal relationship is 
meant to convey that there are facts (e.g., evidence such as dechallenge/rechallenge) or 
other clinical arguments to suggest a causal relationship between the AE and study 
treatment. Possibly and probably related AEs should be documented as related. 
9.1.4. 
Serious Adverse Event Reporting 
As soon as an investigator becomes aware of an AE that meets the definition of ‘serious,’ this 
must be documented on an SAE Report Form or in an electronic database and include the 
following:

to drugsafety@exelixis.com or fax 650-837-7392. 
• The Sponsor-Investigator will perform adequate due diligence regarding obtaining 
follow-up information on incomplete reports. All follow-up information must be sent to 
Exelixis within one (1) business day of the Sponsor-Investigator’s receipt of the new 
information. Upon Exelixis request, the Sponsor-Investigator will query for follow-up 
information. 
9.1.5. 
Regulatory Reporting 
The treating Sub-Investigator or Sponsor-Investigator will assess the expectedness of each 
related SAE. The current cabozantinib Reference Safety Information (Appendix K of the most 
recent approved Investigator Brochure) will be used as the reference document for assessing 
the expectedness of the event regarding cabozantinib. All serious, unexpected, suspected 
adverse drug reactions (SUSARs) will be reported to FDA by the Sponsor-Investigator as 
required by 21 CFR 312.32: 
• These reports are to be filed utilizing the Form FDA 3500A (MedWatch Form). 
• Exelixis, upon review, reserves the right to upgrade the Sponsor-Investigator assessment 
of an SAE for their own safety data and reporting purposes based on Exelixis 
assessment. This assessment will be communicated to the Sponsor-Investigator. 
• The Sponsor-Investigator shall promptly provide all information requested by Exelixis 
regarding all adverse events occurring during the conduct of the study.  
• The Sponsor-Investigator is responsible for complying with all regulatory authority 
reporting requirements for the study that are applicable to the sponsor of a clinical trial. 
The Sponsor-Investigator shall provide a copy of all responses to regulatory agency 
requests, periodic reports, and final study reports to Exelixis within one (1) business day 
of the submission.   
• Exelixis will provide relevant product safety updates and notifications, as necessary.

Other Safety Considerations 
9.2.1. 
Laboratory Data 
All laboratory data required by this protocol and any other clinical investigations should be 
reviewed per standard clinical practice. Formal source documentation by the investigator of 
clinical significance for each abnormal laboratory value will not be collected. Grade 1 laboratory 
abnormalities will not be considered an Adverse Event unless a clinical intervention is taken to 
directly treat that lab abnormality, or if that lab abnormality results in a modification, delay, or 
discontinuation of study drug. All lab abnormalities Grade 2 or higher, regardless of clinical 
significance or intervention, will be captured as AE/SAE as appropriate, and recorded on the 
subject-specific adverse event log.   
9.2.2. 
Pregnancy/Lactation Exposure 
If a subject becomes pregnant during the study, she will be taken off study treatment and will 
be followed through the end of her pregnancy. Pregnancy (in subject or partner) or lactation 
exposure, although not an SAE, should be reported to Exelixis. Forms will be provided to the 
study sites upon request. The outcome of a pregnancy (for a subject or for the partner of a 
subject) and the medical condition of any resultant offspring must be reported to Exelixis. Any 
birth defect or congenital anomaly must be reported as an SAE, and any other untoward events 
occurring during the pregnancy must be reported as AEs or SAEs, as appropriate. 
9.2.3. 
Follow-Up of Adverse Events 
Any related SAEs or any AEs assessed as related that led to treatment discontinuation, including 
clinically significant abnormal laboratory values that meet these criteria, ongoing 30 days after 
the decision to discontinue study treatment must be followed until either resolution of the 
event or determination by the investigator that the event has become stable or irreversible. 
This follow-up guidance also applies to related SAEs still ongoing 30 days after the decision to 
discontinue study treatment. This does not apply to subjects who screen-fail. The status of all 
other continuing AEs will be documented as of 30 days after the decision to discontinue study 
treatment.

MANAGEMENT OF TOXICITY AND COMPLICATIONS 
10.1. 
Guidelines for Management of Potential Adverse Events 
Subjects will be monitored for AEs from the time of signing informed consent through 30  days 
after the date of the last dose of cabozantinib treatment. Subjects will be instructed to notify 
their physician immediately at the onset of any AE. Seriousness, severity grade, and relationship 
to study treatment of AEs will be determined by the investigator. AE severity will be graded by 
the investigator in accordance with CTCAE v.5.0.  
Management of severe or intolerable adverse reactions may require temporary dose reduction 
and/or interruption for cabozantinib. 
10.2. 
Cabozantinib Related Toxicity 
10.2.1. 
Dose-Limiting Toxicity 
The most frequent AEs experienced by ≥ 20% of subjects treated with cabozantinib in 
descending order of frequency were diarrhea, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, weight 
decreased, PPES, vomiting, constipation, hypertension, dysgeusia, dysphonia, asthenia, and 
dyspnea. For a full description of the safety profile of cabozantinib, refer to the cabozantinib 
Investigator’s Brochure. 
Other medically important but less frequent AEs including arterial thrombotic AEs (e.g., 
transient ischemic attack [TIA], and myocardial infarction [MI]) and venous thrombotic AEs 
(e.g., deep vein thrombosis [DVT] and pulmonary embolism), severe hemorrhagic events, 
proteinuria, wound healing complications, gastrointestinal (GI) perforation, abscesses including 
intra-abdominal and pelvic abscess, GI and non-GI fistula formation, osteonecrosis, and 
reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS). 
Adverse events associated with laboratory abnormalities experienced by ≥ 5% of subjects 
treated with cabozantinib in descending order of frequency were anemia, AST increased, ALT 
increased, hypothyroidism, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, thrombocytopenia, hypocalcemia, 
hypophosphatemia, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased, lipase increased, neutropenia, 
hyponatremia, ALP increased, leukopenia, and hyperglycemia. 
Adverse events may occur within the first few weeks during treatment with cabozantinib, as 
cabozantinib is expected to reach steady state exposure at approximately 2 weeks following 
first dose. Events that generally have an early onset include hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, 
thrombocytopenia, hypertension, PPES, abdominal pain, mucosal inflammation, constipation, 
diarrhea, and vomiting. Adverse events should be managed with supportive care at the earliest 
signs of toxicity. Dose reductions and treatment interruptions should be considered. Dose 
reductions are recommended for events that, if persistent, could become serious or intolerable. 
Cabozantinib should be discontinued for the following AEs: visceral perforation or fistula 
formation, severe hemorrhage, serious arterial thromboembolic events, nephrotic syndrome, 
hypertensive emergency, persistent uncontrolled hypertension despite optimal medical 
management, and RPLS.

Determination and attribution of DLT are critical for determining the RP2D for this study.  The 
DLT period will include all subjects enrolled to the phase 1 component of the study who receive 
cabozantinib in combination with radiation therapy. The DLT period is defined as beginning on 
C1D8 and continuing until 28 days after completion of concurrent radiation therapy and 
cabozantinib.  Cabozantinib is anticipated to have systemic effects at sites distant from that 
receiving neoadjuvant radiation treatment.  It may also interact loco-regionally at the site of 
radiation administration.  However, as the objective of this study is to assess the impact of the 
cabozantinib/radiotherapy combination, only those effects in the region subject to radiation 
therapy are considered pertinent and will be considered DLT.  
DLT are defined as any Grade 3 or greater AE, occurring in the region subject to radiation 
therapy, at least possibly related (per investigator attribution) to concurrent radiation therapy 
and cabozantinib therapy. Toxicities with a clearly identified and documented alternative 
explanation may be deemed non-DLT. Toxicities which are clearly identified and documented as 
related to cabozantinib therapy only or radiation therapy only may be deemed non-DLT. Only 
toxicities observed in the region subject to radiation therapy will be considered DLT.   
Toxicities that are Grade 3 or greater that meet the following will always be considered DLT: 
1. Occur after the initiation of concurrent cabozantinib/radiation therapy until 28 days 
after completion of radiation therapy; 
a. Involve the region of a subject’s body that is receiving concurrent radiation 
therapy; and  
b. Are of a degree or character inconsistent with anticipated radiation effects. 
Dose modification guidelines are outlined in Table 5, Table 6, and Table 8 for clinically 
significant toxicities that are deemed to have a relation to cabozantinib. Clinically significant 
toxicities that are deemed to have a relationship to radiation therapy only will be managed per 
standard institutional practice, additional information is available in Section 10.3.

discontinue cabozantinib. 
Complications from radiation therapy especially of the thoracic cavity 
including mediastinum have been identified as a possible predisposing risk 
factor for non-GI fistula formation in subjects undergoing treatment with 
VEGF pathway inhibitors. 
Discontinue cabozantinib and initiate appropriate management in subjects 
who have been diagnosed with a non-GI fistula. 
Wound healing 
and surgery 
Any Grade 
Cabozantinib has the potential to cause wound healing complications and 
wound dehiscence which may even occur long after a wound has been 
considered healed. Therefore, surgical and traumatic wounds must not 
only be completely healed prior to starting cabozantinib treatment but 
must also be monitored for wound dehiscence, wound infection and other 
signs of impaired wound healing while the subject is being treated with 
cabozantinib. If dehiscence occurs, cabozantinib treatment should not be 
restarted until complete healing has taken place.  
Treatment with cabozantinib should be stopped at least 28 days prior to 
scheduled surgery. The decision to resume treatment with cabozantinib 
after surgery should be based on clinical judgment of adequate wound 
healing.

treated subjects with brain metastases has not been thoroughly analyzed. 
Subjects enrolled with treated and stable brain metastases should be 
monitored with a high index of suspicion if symptoms that could be due to 
a CNS hemorrhage occur. 
Cabozantinib should be discontinued in subjects with serious and life-
threatening bleeding events or recent hemoptysis (≥ 2.5 mL of red blood). 
Thromboembolic 
event 
Any Grade 
Subjects who develop a pulmonary embolism and/or DVT should have 
study treatment interrupted until therapeutic anticoagulation is 
established.  
Treatment with cabozantinib may be resumed in subjects with pulmonary 
embolism or DVT if it is determined that the event is uncomplicated and 
that the subject is deriving clinical benefit from cabozantinib treatment 
and that anticoagulation does not place them at a significant risk that 
outweighs the benefit of resuming treatment. 
Low molecular weight heparins are the preferred management for 
thrombotic events. 
Oral anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin or other coumarin-related agents, direct 
thrombin or direct FXa inhibitors, or antiplatelet agents, or chronic use of 
aspirin above low dose levels for cardioprotection per local applicable 
guidelines) are not allowed. 
Further treatment with cabozantinib should be discontinued in subjects 
who develop an acute MI, cerebral infarction, or any other clinically 
significant arterial thromboembolic complication.

erosion, tooth or periodontal infection, toothache, gingival ulceration or 
erosion, persistent jaw pain or slow healing of the mouth or jaw after 
dental surgery.  
Perform an oral examination prior to initiation of cabozantinib and 
periodically during cabozantinib treatment. Advise subjects regarding good 
oral hygiene practices. Withhold cabozantinib treatment for at least 28 
days prior to scheduled dental surgery or invasive dental procedures, if 
possible. Withhold cabozantinib for development of ONJ until complete 
resolution.  
 
Infections and/or 
Infestations 
Any Grade 
Infections are commonly observed in cancer subjects. Predisposing risk 
factor include a decreased immune status (e.g., after myelosuppressive 
anticancer therapies, splenectomy), destructive growth of the underlying 
malignancy including bone marrow infiltration with suppression of normal 
hematopoiesis, as well as the presence of IV devices.  
Infections and abscesses should be treated with appropriate local care and 
systemic therapy. Cabozantinib should be interrupted until adequate 
healing has taken place.

Subjects receiving a dose of 20 mg daily may be restarted at the same dose if deemed safe at 
the discretion of the Sponsor-Investigator or treating Sub-Investigator. Subjects unable to 
tolerate a dose of 20 mg daily should discontinue study treatment. 
10.2.4. 
Dose re-escalation is not permitted. Overdose  
Any overdose, or study drug administration error that results in an AE, even if it does not meet 
the definition of serious, requires reporting within one (1) business day to Exelixis. 
10.3. 
Radiation Therapy Related Toxicity 
The expected toxicities related to radiation therapy may vary in relation to the site of 
irradiation. The most commonly observed toxicities include fatigue (Grade 3), and skin toxicities 
(Grade 3) such as rash, color changes, burning, blistering, or desquamation. Skin toxicities 
should be managed by radiation-oncology staff utilizing standard of care protocols.  
The radiation oncologist may list expected toxicities for a given radiation treatment prior to 
administration of radiation treatment in the subject’s medical record. Strict prospective quality 
assurance of all radiation plans will be performed prior to initiation of radiotherapy, per 
institutional standards, to minimize risk of serious toxicity. 
Toxicities of radiation should be treated according to standard institutional practices, including 
the prescription of steroids, if appropriate. Subjects will continue study treatment if steroids 
are used to treat radiation-associated toxicity.

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
• Chronic co-administration of cabozantinib with strong inducers of the CYP3A4 family 
(e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, phenobarbital, and St. 
John’s Wort) may significantly decrease cabozantinib concentrations and should be 
avoided. Selection of alternate concomitant medications with no or minimal CYP3A4 
enzyme induction potential is recommended.  
• 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.  
• Co-administration of cabozantinib with strong inhibitors of the CYP3A4 family 
(e.g., boceprevir, conivaptan, posaconazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, 
atazanavir, indinavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, saquinavir, ritonavir, lopinavir, telaprevir, 
telithromycin, and voriconazole) may increase cabozantinib concentrations and should 
be avoided. Grapefruit, star fruit, and Seville oranges may also increase plasma 
concentrations of cabozantinib and should be avoided. 
Additional information on potential drug interactions with cabozantinib is provided in Section

11.3. 
Potential Drug Interactions with Cabozantinib 
Cytochrome P450: Data from a clinical drug interaction study (Study XL184-008) show that 
clinically relevant steady-state concentrations of cabozantinib appear to have no marked effect 
on the area under the plasma concentration-vs-time curve (AUC) of co-administered 
rosiglitazone, a CYP2C8 substrate. Therefore, cabozantinib is not anticipated to markedly inhibit 
CYP2C8 in the clinic, and by inference, is not anticipated to markedly inhibit other CYP450 
isozymes that have lower [I]/Ki values compared to CYP2C8 (i.e., CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, 
CYP1A2, and CYP3A4). In vitro data indicate that cabozantinib is unlikely to induce cytochrome 
P450 enzymes, except for possible induction of CYP1A1 at high cabozantinib concentrations 
(30 μM).  
Cabozantinib is a CYP3A4 substrate and a weak substrate for CYP2C9 (but not a CYP2D6, 
CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, or CYP1A2 substrate), based on data from in vitro studies. Results 
from a clinical pharmacology study, XL184-006, showed that concurrent administration of 
cabozantinib with the strong CYP3A4 inducer, rifampin, resulted in an approximately 77% 
reduction in cabozantinib exposure (AUC values) after a single dose of cabozantinib in healthy 
volunteers. Chronic co-administration of cabozantinib with strong inducers of the CYP3A4 
family (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, 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. 
Selection of alternate concomitant medications with no or minimal CYP3A4 enzyme induction 
potential is recommended.

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
Results from a clinical pharmacology study, XL184-007, showed that concurrent administration 
of cabozantinib with the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole, resulted in a 38% 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., boceprevir, conivaptan, posaconazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, 
atazanavir, indinavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, saquinavir, ritonavir, lopinavir, telaprevir, 
telithromycin, and voriconazole) may increase cabozantinib concentrations. Grapefruit, star 
fruit and Seville oranges may also increase plasma concentrations of cabozantinib and should 
be avoided. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should be avoided 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.  
Please refer to the drug interaction tables at the following websites for lists of substrates, 
inducers, and inhibitors of selected CYP450 isozyme pathways: 
Http://medicine.iupui.edu/clinpharm/ddis/table.aspx 
http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/DevelopmentResources/DrugInterac
tionsLabeling/ucm080499.htm).  
Protein Binding: Cabozantinib is highly bound (≥ 99.7%) to human plasma proteins. Therefore, 
highly protein bound drugs should be used with caution with cabozantinib because there is a 
potential displacement interaction that could increase free concentrations of cabozantinib 
and/or a co-administered highly protein-bound drug (and a corresponding increase in 
pharmacologic effect). 
Other Interactions: Food may increase exposure levels of cabozantinib by 57%, fasting 
recommendations should be followed. In vitro data suggest that cabozantinib is unlikely to be a 
substrate for P-glycoprotein, but it does appear to have the potential to inhibit the P-
glycoprotein transport activity. Therefore, cabozantinib may have the potential to increase 
plasma concentrations of co-administered substrates of P-glycoprotein. Additional details 
related to these overall conclusions can be found in the investigator brochure. 
Administration of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) esomeprazole resulted in no clinically-
relevant effect on cabozantinib plasma PK in healthy volunteers. Therefore, concomitant use of 
gastric pH modifying agents (i.e., PPIs, H2 receptor antagonists, and antacids) is not 
contraindicated in subjects administered cabozantinib. 
Additional details regarding potential drug interactions with cabozantinib can be found in the 
investigator brochure. 
Cabozantinib was shown to be a substrate of drug transporter MRP2 in an in vitro assay. 
Administration of MRP2 inhibitors to subjects may result in increases in cabozantinib plasma 
concentrations.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
12.1. 
Safety Analysis 
The safety analysis set includes all treated subjects. 
Safety and tolerability will be monitored through continuous reporting of treatment-emergent 
and TRAEs, AEs of special interest, laboratory abnormalities, and incidence of subjects 
experiencing dose modifications, dose delay/dose not given, dose interruptions, and/or 
premature discontinuation of IP due to an AE. All AEs will be recorded by the investigator from 
the time the subject signs informed consent until 30 days after the last dose of IP. Adverse events 
will be graded by NCI CTCAE v5.0. 
Physical examination, vital signs, laboratory assessments (e.g., serum chemistry, hematology), 
and ECOG performance status will be monitored. All SAEs (regardless of relationship to IP) will be 
followed until resolution or sequelae. Local laboratory analysis will be performed as per study 
schedule. 
12.2. 
Efficacy Analysis  
Assessment of the primary efficacy analysis will take place in real time.  Based on anticipated 
accrual of 40 evaluable subjects, if 9 or more have relapsed or died due to any cause (unless 
clearly documented as unrelated to investigational diagnosis, e.g., car accident) at or before one 
year after cabozantinib initiation, then the study will be closed to further accrual, and data will 
simply be collected on the remaining subjects, as specified in the protocol. 
12.3. 
Exploratory Analysis 
Appropriate specimens will be collected in anticipation of the exploratory/correlative studies.  
Analysis will be undertaken once provision for conduct of planned analyses is made. 
12.4. 
Sample Size Considerations 
Phase 1: up to 12 subjects to identify the MTD, but the MTD may be reached with as few as 5 
subjects.  
Phase 2: For sample size determination, we assume the following: 
• Null hypothesis: 1-yr relapse-free survival (local and distant) =75% 
• Alternative hypothesis: 1-yr relapse-free survival (local and distant) =90% 
• Alpha=0.1 (one-sided).  
• Beta=0.1 (power=90%) 
Total accrual=40 evaluable subjects. 
Anticipate accrual of 6 evaluable subjects from phase I component of study. Therefore, 34 
evaluable subjects to accrue in phase II portion of study. Subjects who withdraw for reasons other 
than toxicity during the DLT Period will be determined to be not evaluable and will be replaced. 
Subjects are evaluated for efficacy assessment if they receive at least one dose of cabozantinib 
in combination with neoadjuvant radiation therapy.

Final Protocol v4.0: 30DEC2022 
Assuming a 10% drop-out/non-evaluable rate, 44 total subjects would be accrued to the efficacy 
component for the study to yield 40 evaluable subjects. 
From the perspective of efficacy, this study is intended as a screening study of activity.  Thus, 
avoiding a type II error (rejecting the proposed regimen as inactive, when it is an active regimen) 
is a major consideration.  This study is not intended to provide definitive evidence of activity.  
Therefore, a type I error (false positive) is not considered as critical.  For these reasons, we have 
chosen to increase the power of the study to 90% (minimizing type II errors), while relaxing 
constraints regarding type I.  Specifically, we use a one-sided alpha of 0.10 for rejection of the 
null hypothesis.  Use of a one-sided value is justified based on the high efficacy for local control 
of soft tissue sarcoma provided by the combination of surgery and neoadjuvant radiation therapy 
(~90%).  It is not anticipated that distant disease control would be worsened by addition of 
cabozantinib to neoadjuvant radiation therapy. 
An early stopping rule for accrual to the efficacy component of the study is to be undertaken.  If 
9 (nine) or more evaluable subjects are found to have died or demonstrated disease recurrence 
at or before 1 (one) year after cabozantinib initiation, then the efficacy component of the study 
will be discontinued.  This assumes of a binomial probability for the primary endpoint, with a 
target probability of 0.90 for evaluable subjects to be alive and disease-free at one-year after 
initiation of cabozantinib therapy.  When 9 subjects demonstrate failure with respect to the 
primary endpoint (disease recurrence or death from any cause), then the upper bound of the 
95% confidence interval for the binomial probability distribution would no longer encompass the 
target probability of 0.90 (31/40=0.775, 95%CI:0.62-0.89).  At this point, the study would be 
considered negative with respect to the primary endpoint, and further accrual will be 
discontinued.

Primary Analysis 
This will occur once all data for primary and secondary endpoints is collected.

WITHDRAWAL FROM TREATMENT, PROCEDURES, AND STUDY 
13.1. 
Discontinuation from Investigational Product or Study 
Subjects may discontinue study treatment or withdraw their consent to participate in the study 
at any time without prejudice. The investigator may withdraw a subject from study treatment 
or from the study if, in his or her clinical judgment, it is in the best interest of the subject or if 
the subject cannot comply with the protocol.  
In addition, any of the following conditions require discontinuation of the subject from study 
treatment: 
• An AE or intercurrent illness that in the opinion of the investigator warrants the 
subject’s withdrawal from study treatment; 
• The investigator believes it is not in the best interest of the subject to continue on study 
• Specific conditions described in the Management of Adverse Events Section 10.2.2; 
• Necessity for treatment with other anticancer treatment prohibited by protocol; 
• Sexually active subjects who refuse to use medically accepted barrier methods of 
contraception (e.g., male condom, female condom) during the study and for 4 months 
after discontinuation of study treatment; 
• Women who become pregnant or are breastfeeding; 
• If the subject does not recover from his or her toxicities to tolerable Grade ≤ 2 within 6 
weeks, the subject will have study treatment discontinued unless there is unequivocal 
evidence that the subject is benefitting. In this situation, a subject may be able to restart 
therapy with a dose reduction upon resolution of the toxicity and with agreement of the 
principal investigator; 
• Request by regulatory agencies for termination of treatment of an individual subject or 
all subjects under the protocol; 
• Significant noncompliance with the protocol schedule in the opinion of the investigator; 
• Subjects who cannot tolerate the minimum protocol-specified dose of study treatment 
will have study treatment discontinued; 
• Progressive disease (PD) or the subject no longer experiences clinical benefit as 
determined by the investigator

REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS 
14.1. 
Informed Consent 
The Sponsor-Investigator is responsible for preparing the informed consent document to be used 
at the study site. Updates to the template are to be communicated formally in writing from the 
investigator to Exelixis. The written informed consent document is to be prepared in the 
language(s) of the potential subject population. 
Before a subject’s participation in the clinical study, the investigator is responsible for obtaining 
written informed consent from the subject after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, 
anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study and before any protocol-specific 
screening procedures or the IP is administered.  
The acquisition of informed consent and the subject’s agreement or refusal of his/her notification 
of the primary care physician is to be documented in the subject’s medical records, and the 
informed consent form to be signed and personally dated by the subject or a legally acceptable 
representative and by the person who conducted the informed consent discussion. The original 
signed informed consent form is to be retained in accordance with institutional policy, and a copy 
of the signed consent form is to be provided to the subject or legally acceptable representative. 
If a potential subject is illiterate or visually impaired and does not have a legally acceptable 
representative, the investigator must provide an impartial witness to read the informed consent 
form to the subject and must allow for questions. Thereafter, both the subject and the witness 
must sign the informed consent form to attest that informed consent was freely given and 
understood.   
If new safety information results in significant changes in the risk/benefit assessment, the 
consent form should be reviewed and updated as necessary. All subjects (including those 
already being treated) should be informed of the new information, should be given a copy of 
the revised form, and should give their consent to continue in the study. 
 
14.2. 
Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee  
A copy of the protocol, proposed informed consent form, other written subject information, and 
any proposed advertising material must be submitted to the IRB for written approval. A copy of 
the written approval of the protocol and informed consent form must be received by Exelixis 
before recruitment of subjects into the study and shipment of Exelixis IP. 
The investigator must submit and, where necessary, obtain approval from the IRB for all 
subsequent protocol amendments and changes to the informed consent document.  The 
investigator is to notify the IRB of deviations from the protocol or SAEs occurring at the site and 
other AE reports received from Exelixis, in accordance with local procedures. 
The investigator is responsible for obtaining annual IRB approval [IRBs only]/renewal [IRBs and 
IECs] throughout the duration of the study. Copies of the investigator’s reports and the IRB 
continuance of approval must be sent to Exelixis. 
This study is being conducted under a United States Investigational New Drug application.

Data Quality Assurance 
Accurate and reliable data collection will be ensured by verification and crosscheck of the eCRFs 
against the investigator’s records by the study monitor (source document verification) to the 
extent described the Fred Hutch/UW Cancer Consortium Data and Safety Monitoring Plan and 
the Sarcoma Group Standard Operating Procedure 005 Clinical Trial Monitoring and Follow-Up 
and by the maintenance of a drug–dispensing log by the investigator or designee. 
15.2. 
Data/Documents 
The investigator must ensure that the records and documents pertaining to the conduct of the 
study and the distribution of the investigational product are complete, accurate, filed, and 
retained. Examples of source documents include: hospital records; clinic and office charts; 
laboratory notes; memoranda; checklists; dispensing records; recorded data from automated 
instruments; copies or transcriptions certified after verification as being accurate copies; 
microfiche; x-ray film and reports; and records kept at the pharmacy; and the laboratories, as 
well as copies of CRFs or CD-ROM. 
15.3. 
Data Management 
Data will be collected via electronic medical record and subject shadow chart and entered into 
RedCAP. These data will be electronically verified through use of programmed edit checks 
specified by the clinical team. Discrepancies in the data will be brought to the attention of the 
clinical team, and investigational site personnel, if necessary. Resolutions to these issues will be 
reflected in the database. An audit trail within the system will track all changes made to the data. 
15.4. 
Investigator Responsibilities for Data Collection 
The investigator is responsible for complying with the requirements for all assessments and data 
collection (including subjects not receiving protocol-required therapies) as stipulated in the 
protocol for each subject in the study. For subjects who withdraw prior to completion of all 
protocol-required visits and are unable or unwilling to continue the Schedule of Assessments (in 
Table 2, the investigator can search publicly available records (where permitted) to ascertain 
survival status.  
This ensures that the data set(s) produced as an outcome of the study is/are as comprehensive 
as possible. 
15.5. 
Sample Storage and Destruction 
Tumor samples collected according to the Schedule of Assessments in Table 2 can be analyzed 
for any of the tests outlined in the protocol, for any tests necessary to minimize risks to study 
subjects, and in any other method determined to be appropriate by the Sponsor-Investigator to 
evaluate a primary, secondary, or exploratory endpoint. Results from this analysis are to be 
documented and maintained but are not necessarily reported as part of this study.  
The records should be retained by the Investigator according to ICH, local regulations, or as 
specified in the Clinical Trial Agreement, whichever is longer; but at a minimum, all study 
documentation must be retained for 2 years after the last marketing application approval in an

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
16.1. 
Study Monitoring 
Institutional support of trial monitoring will be in accordance with the FHCRC/University of 
Washington Cancer Consortium Institutional Data and Safety Monitoring Plan. Under the 
provisions of this plan, FHCRC Clinical Research Support (CRS) coordinates data and compliance 
monitoring conducted by consultants, contract research organizations, or FHCRC employees 
unaffiliated with the conduct of the study. Independent monitoring visits occur at specified 
intervals determined by the assessed risk level of the study and the findings of previous visits per 
the institutional DSMP.  
In addition, protocols are reviewed at least annually and as needed by the Consortium Data and 
Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC), FHCRC Scientific Review Committee (SRC) and the 
FHCRC/University of Washington Cancer Consortium Institutional Review Board (IRB). The review 
committees evaluate accrual, adverse events, stopping rules, and adherence to the applicable 
data and safety monitoring plan for studies actively enrolling or treating subjects. The IRB reviews 
the study progress and safety information to assess continued acceptability of the risk-benefit 
ratio for human subjects. Approval of committees as applicable is necessary to continue the 
study.  
The trial will comply with the standard guidelines set forth by these regulatory committees and 
other institutional, state and federal guidelines.

17.1. 
Investigator’s Files and Retention of Documents 
The Sponsor-Investigator must maintain adequate and accurate records to enable the conduct 
of the study to be fully documented and the study data to be subsequently verified. These 
documents should be classified into two separate categories as follows: (1) the investigator’s 
study file, and (2) subjects’ clinical source documents. 
The investigator’s study file will contain the protocol and protocol amendments, CRFs, query 
forms, IRB/EC and governmental approvals with correspondence, sample informed consent, 
drug records, staff curriculum vitae and authorization forms, any other records required under 
the Protocol, and other appropriate documents and correspondence. 
Subjects’ clinical source documents include the subjects’ hospital/clinic records; physicians’ and 
nurses’ notes; the appointment book; original laboratory, ECG, electroencephalogram, X-ray, 
pathology and special assessment reports; signed informed consent forms; consultant letters; 
and subject screening and enrollment logs.  
The investigator must keep these two categories of documents on file for at least the latest of 
(a) 2 years following the marketing application approval date for the study treatment in the 
indication being investigated, or (b) 2 years after the investigation is completed or 
discontinued, or (c) for a period of time consistent with local regulatory requirements, 
whichever is longest. After that period, the documents may be destroyed subject to local 
regulations. 
17.2. 
Source Documents and Background Data 
Upon request, the Sponsor-Investigator will supply its licensees and collaborators with any 
required background data from the study documentation or clinic records. This is particularly 
important when CRFs are illegible or when errors in data transcription are suspected. In case of 
special problems or governmental queries or requests for audit inspections, it is also necessary 
to have access to the complete study records, provided that subject confidentiality is protected. 
17.3. 
Case Report Forms  
For enrolled subjects, all and only data from the procedures and assessments specified in this 
protocol and required by the eCRFs should be entered on the appropriate eCRF. Data from 
some procedures required by the protocol, such as physical examinations and laboratory 
results, will be recorded only on the source documents and will not be transcribed to eCRFs. 
Additional procedures and assessments may be performed as part of the investigator’s 
institution or medical practice standard of care and may not be required for eCRF entry.  
For each subject enrolled, the eCRF must be completed and signed by the PI or authorized 
delegate from the study staff. 
The investigator should ensure the accuracy, completeness, legibility, and timeliness of the data 
in the eCRFs and in all required reports.

20.1. 
Definitions 
20.1.1. 
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) 
 
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless 
permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral 
salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. 
 
Women in the following categories are not considered WOCBP 
 
• Premenarchal 
• Premenopausal female with 1 of the following: 
o Documented hysterectomy 
o Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
o Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the 
participant’s medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
• Postmenopausal female 
o A postmenopausal state is defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 
age 45 years in the absence of other biological or physiological causes.  
20.2. 
Contraception Guidance for Females of Childbearing Potential 
 
One of the highly effective methods of contraception listed below is required during study 
duration and until the end of relevant systemic exposure, defined as 4 months after last 
treatment. Local laws and regulations may require use of alternative and/or additional 
contraception methods. 
 
Highly Effective Contraceptive Methods That Are User Dependent 
Failure rate of < 1% per year when used consistently and correctly.a 
• Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated 
with inhibition of ovulation 
o oral 
o intravaginal 
o transdermal

Ovulation  
• Intrauterine device (IUD) 
• Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) 
• Bilateral tubal occlusion 
• Vasectomized partner 
• Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining 
from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study 
treatment. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in related to the 
duration of the study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. 
o It is not necessary to use any other method of contraception when complete 
abstinence is elected. 
• WOCBP participants who choose complete abstinence must continue to have pregnancy 
tests as specified in study calendar. 
• Acceptable alternate methods of highly effective contraception must be discussed in the 
event that the WOCBP participants chooses to forego complete abstinence. 
 
a Typical use failure rates may differ from those when used consistently and correctly. Use 
should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for 
participants participating in clinical studies. 
 
Less Than Highly Effective Contraceptive Methods That are User Dependent 
 
Failure rate of > 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. 
• Male or female condom with or without spermicide. Male and female condoms cannot 
be used simultaneously. 
• Diaphragm with spermicide 
• Cervical cap with spermicide 
• Vaginal sponge with spermicide 
• Progestogen-only oral hormonal contraception, where inhibition of ovulation is not the 
primary mechanism of action 
 
Unacceptable Methods of Contraception 
• Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) 
• Withdrawal (coitus interruptus) 
• Spermicide only 
• Lactation amenorrhea method (LAM)

APPENDIX 2 – GUIDELINES REGARDING RADIATION THERAPY 
Radiation needs may vary considerably from subject to subject. There is significant flexibility 
regarding potential radiation regimens. 
Radiation needs may vary considerably from subject to subject. Treatments for an individual 
subject may deviate from the standard approach described below at the discretion of the 
radiation oncology investigator.  
Tumors targeted for treatment with radiotherapy should be discussed with Dr. Ed Kim, co-
investigator and radiation oncologist for this trial prior to initiating therapy. A gross tumor 
volume (GTV) should be delineated based on radiographic appearance on radiation planning CT 
and relevant diagnostic imaging. Clinical Target Volume (CTV) should include the GTV and sites 
of potential tumor involvement based on consensus guidelines (i.e. RTOG Consensus Sarcoma 
Target Volume Definitions), adjusted per discretion of treating physician.  For extremity 
sarcomas, the CTV should include the “reactive zone” as seen on T2-weighted MRI sequences.  
Longitudinal margins of 3cm and radial margins of 1.5 cm will be utilized in most cases, per 
institutional standards (adjusting for normal barriers to tumor growth such as bone, muscle 
compartments, and fascial planes). A planning target volume (PTV) of at least 5mm is 
recommended to account for tumor motion. The PTV expansion may be individualized based on 
the anatomic location, subject immobilization, and (if relevant) motion-management strategy 
chosen. 
Image guidance (typically cone-beam CT) may be utilized prior to each treatment to verify 
accurate targeting and sparing of normal tissue.

Important things to know about this study. 
We invite you to participate in a research study. The purpose of this research is to 
determine the safety and effectiveness of cabozantinib in combination with radiation 
therapy in individuals with sarcoma of the extremities, for whom treatment with radiation 
followed by planned surgical resection (removal of tumor) is planned. 
People who agree to join the study are able to receive treatment for up to about 4 ½ 
months. The study involves taking cabozantinib orally, once daily, over a 21-day cycle. 
You will receive standard-of-care radiation treatment starting after your first week of 
cabozantinib. Radiation treatment generally lasts between 4 and 6 weeks. While on study, 
we will draw your blood for tests, perform scans to measure your disease, and perform 
cardiac assessments. We will also ask you if you would like to donate your extra tissue 
for future studies.  
We do not know if cabozantinib would help treat high-risk soft tissue sarcomas of the 
extremities and could even make your condition or disease worse. Cabozantinib could 
cause side effects such as diarrhea, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, weight decreases, 
changes in the skin on your hands or feet (hand-foot syndrome), vomiting, constipation, 
high blood pressure, changes in the way things taste, changes in the voice, weakness, 
shortness of breath, and others. The potential risks of taking cabozantinib are described 
further below in this form.  
You do not have to join this study. You can choose to receive standard methods to treat 
high-risk soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities, instead of participating in this study. We 
will give you details about the purposes, procedures, risks and possible benefits related to 
this study. We will explain other choices that you have. We will also give you any other 
information that you need in order to make an informed decision about joining this study.  
Following below is a more complete description of this study. Please read this description 
carefully. You can ask any questions you want to help you decide whether to join the 
study. If you join this study, we will give you a signed copy of this form to keep for 
future reference.  
We invite you to join this research study. 
We invite you to join this research study because you have high-risk soft tissue sarcomas

resection. For the phase 1 portion, up to 12 people will join this study. For the phase 2 
portion, there will be up to 34 additional patients. 
Research is not the same as treatment or medical care. The purpose of a research study is 
to answer scientific questions.  
You do not have to be in the study. You are free to say “yes” or “no”, or to drop out after 
joining. If you say “no,” you would have no penalty or loss of benefits. Whatever you 
decide, your regular medical care would not change.

Why are we doing this study? 
We are doing this study to examine the antitumor activity of cabozantinib with radiation 
therapy in subjects with soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities which would otherwise be 
treated with radiation therapy alone. This combination is investigational, which means it 
has not been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study is 
made up of two parts, Phase 1 and Phase 2. 
 
The first part of this study, the Phase 1 portion, is the dose-escalation phase. The 
objective of this phase is to determine how much cabozantinib can be given safely in 
combination with radiation. Subjects will be treated at different doses of cabozantinib in 
combination with radiation therapy. This is done to determine the maximum tolerated 
dose of cabozantinib in combination with radiation. There will be different dosing groups 
of cabozantinib, receiving a dose level that is predetermined for each group. Subjects that 
join in the beginning of the study may receive a lower dose than subjects who join at a 
later date. Based on the presence of effects (either good or bad), the dose level can be 
escalated (raised) or de-escalated (reduced) accordingly. Your study doctor will watch 
carefully for any side effects. 
 
Once the recommended dose is determined in the Phase 1 portion, the Phase 2 portion of 
the study will begin. In this part, additional subjects will be enrolled and assigned to the 
recommended dose level determined in Phase 1. The objective for the Phase 2 portion is 
to evaluate the effects (good or bad) of cabozantinib in combination with neoadjuvant 
(prior to surgery) radiation therapy treating subjects with soft tissue sarcomas of the 
extremities. Neoadjuvant means that this treatment happens before a planned surgery. 
Your study doctor will watch carefully for any side effects. 
What research tests, procedures, and treatments are done in this study? 
Before you can receive study treatment, we will perform tests to find out whether you can 
participate in the study. This part of the study is called screening. 
After qualifying for this study, you will take cabozantinib by mouth, once daily, in a 21-
day cycle, plus radiation therapy. You can continue therapy until you complete radiation 
therapy, disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or until you have received a total 
of 6 cycles of cabozantinib therapy.  
You will take cabozantinib for one week prior to your radiation therapy. You will 
continue to take cabozantinib during your radiation therapy, and may continue after 
completion of radiation therapy if your imaging scan (CT/MRI) shows that you have at 
least stable disease. In total, you may complete up to 6 cycles (about 4 ½ months) of 
cabozantinib therapy prior to your scheduled surgery.  
If you join this study, we would do these tests and procedures:

Screening Evaluations 
We will perform screening evaluations for all subjects to determine study eligibility. 
These evaluations must be obtained at least 28 days prior to enrollment. Your baseline 
imaging assessments may be completed on a separate date than the rest of your screening 
evaluations in order to have them be as close to initiation of protocol therapy as possible. 
We will complete the following procedures during the screening period: 
• 
Demographics (date of birth, sex, race, and ethnicity) 
• 
Physical examination including assessment of your general well-being (called an 
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group or ECOG score) 
• 
Prior/concomitant medications and procedures evaluation: all medications you 
have taken and procedures completed within 28 days prior to signing this informed 
consent document 
• 
Vital signs (temperature, systolic/diastolic blood pressure, respiration rate, and 
pulse) 
• 
Height and weight collection  
• 
12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) single tracing 
• 
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, by echocardiogram or MUGA), a measure 
of how well your heart is pumping your blood through your body 
• 
Adverse event assessment 
• 
Lab tests: blood chemistry, complete blood count (CBC) + differential, complete 
urinalysis with microscopic evaluation, urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR), 
pregnancy test (women who are able to have children), HIV, hepatitis B surface 
antigen, hepatitis C antibody, fasting lipids, thyroid function 
• 
CT or MRI scan to measure the amount of disease in your body. This must be done 
within the 28-day screening period, but preferably should be done as close to 
enrollment as possible 
• 
Archival tissue collection (optional) 
 
Once it is determined that you meet all the eligibility criteria for the study, you will be 
enrolled onto the study. Subjects should begin study treatment within 14 days of being 
enrolled. 
Treatment Period 
The treatment period begins once you take your first dose of the study drug, cabozantinib.  
Cabozantinib must be taken on an empty stomach. You will not be able to eat for at least 
2 hours before and at least 1 hour after you take cabozantinib. You will need to take your 
dose at about the same time every day. If you miss a dose, the dose may be taken later 
only if it is within 12 hours of when the missed dose should have been taken. Do not take 
a missed dose if you are within 12 hours of the next dose. If you vomit the dose after 
taking it, skip the dose and resume the next day at the regularly scheduled time. We will 
provide you with a dosing diary to mark when you take each dose of cabozantinib.  FHCRC IRB Approval

How long would you stay in this study? 
 
Depending on what phase of the trial you are in, you may be in the study for up to about 
4 ½ months of study treatment, with follow-up lasting up to 3 years. Your participation 
will be stopped if you experience an unacceptable side effect, you no longer wish to 
participate, the whole study is stopped, or your study doctor feels that it is in your best 
interest to stop.  
 
You may stop participating at any time without penalty or loss of benefits. However, if 
you decide to stop participating in the study, we encourage you to talk to your study 
doctor and your regular doctor first so that you may discontinue safely. 
 
If you withdraw from the study for any reason, previously collected information would 
remain in the study records and would be included in the analysis of results. This 
information could not be removed from the study records.  
What are the side effects (risks)? 
 
In this part of the consent form, we describe the side effects we expect from the tests and 
treatments in this study. Cabozantinib could cause side effects we do not know about yet. 
We carefully watch everyone in the study for side effects.  
 
If you join this study, we will tell you if we discover new side effects that could affect 
you.  
This form lists side effects of the study drug cabozantinib. Other side effects could occur 
when we use cabozantinib in combination with radiation therapy. 
Side effects may be mild or very serious. Medicines could be given to help lessen side 
effects. Many side effects go away soon after you stop taking cabozantinib. In some 
cases, side effects can last a long time or never go away. There also is a risk of death.

Radiation risks 
 
Some of the tests that you will have in this research study will expose you to radiation. 
Everyone receives a small amount of radiation every day called “background radiation”. 
This radiation is natural and comes from space, air, soil and the food you eat. If you live 
in the US, you receive about 3 millisieverts of radiation each year of this background 
radiation. A “millisievert” (mSv) is a unit used to measure radiation dose. The risk to 
your health from this level of radiation exposure is too low to be detectable and may be 
nonexistent. The radiation dose to your whole body from each of your scans will be about 
as follows: 
 
• 
CT scan of the chest: 7 mSv 
• 
CT scan of the abdomen: 8 mSv 
• 
CT scan of the pelvis: 6 mSv 
 
You may need to have other x-rays or scans for your care. Your doctors will explain the 
risks of the other x-rays or scans. 
Radiotherapy risks 
Common side effects from radiotherapy could include: slow or delayed wound healing 
after surgery, decreased bone density that could increase the risk of developing a fracture 
in the future, scarring in the soft tissue / skin, swelling of the treated limb/extremity (also 
known as lymphedema), and there is a rare risk that radiation treatments could increase 
the chance of developing a cancer in the future (in the area that received radiation). There 
are potential acute toxicities that can occur with radiation, which include dermatitis 
(inflammation of the skin) and pain at the site of radiation.

Reproductive risks 
Chemotherapy and radiation treatments could cause sterility (unable to have children). 
Taking cabozantinib may involve unknown risks to an unborn baby (embryo or fetus) or 
nursing infant. Therefore, you cannot join this study if you are pregnant, if you are 
planning to become pregnant, or if you are breast-feeding.  
If you join this study, you will have to use a highly effective method of birth control from 
the time this form is signed until at least 4 months after the last dose of cabozantinib, if 
you are able to have children. If you are already using a method of birth control, you will 
need to check with the study doctor or a member of the study staff to make sure it is 
acceptable. The list below are forms of acceptable birth control: 
Highly Effective Contraceptive Methods 
• 
Hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation (may be either 
combined estrogen/progestogen-containing or progestogen only) 
o Oral (pills) 
o Intravaginal 
 NuvaRing® 
 Intrauterine device (IUD) or Intrauterine hormone-releasing system 
(IUS) 
o Transdermal 
 Patch 
o Injectable 
 Depo-Provera 
• 
Permanent methods 
o Bilateral tubal occlusion (procedure that blocks both fallopian tubes, 
which prevents eggs from getting to the uterus) 
o Partner who has had a vasectomy 
Abstinence is an allowed method of contraception if used during the entire study duration 
and for 4 months after your last dose of cabozantinib. 
If you or your partner becomes pregnant after joining this study, you will have to notify 
the study doctor immediately. If you become pregnant, you will no longer be able to 
participate in this study. We would follow-up with you throughout the pregnancy and for 
about 6 months after the child is born, if you consent to this.  
The effects of fathering a child are also unknown. Men who join this study must agree to 
the following:  
• 
Inform any and all partner(s) of your participation in this trial and the need to 
comply with contraception instructions as directed by your study doctor 
• 
Use a male condom during heterosexual intercourse or remain abstinent for the 
study duration and until at least 4 months after the last dose of cabozantinib 
• 
Female partners of male subjects should consider using effective methods of 
contraception until at least 4 months after the male subject’s last dose of 
cabozantinib

• 
Agree to not donate sperm for the duration of the study and for at least 4 months 
after your last dose of cabozantinib. 
Non-physical Risks 
If you join this study, non-physical risks are: 
• 
You might not be able to work. 
• 
Results of genetic tests might be released by accident.  
o This risk is very low, because we keep personal information private. If 
these results became known, you could have problems from others 
knowing about your genetic test results. For example, the results could 
cause stress or anxiety in family members who learn about their own risk 
of developing disease, or you could have problems with insurance because 
of your health status. 
What are the benefits? 
 
You may or may not receive any benefit from being in this study. It is possible that you 
may get better, stay the same, or get worse. If you take part in this study, other people 
with sarcoma of the extremities may be helped in the future. 
We do not know if this study would help you. The use of cabozantinib with radiation 
therapy in sarcomas of the extremities is still investigational, and we are trying to find the 
highest safe dose for this combination. We hope the information from this study will help 
us in the future. 
You have other choices besides this study. 
 
You do not have to join this study. You are free to say “yes” or “no”. Your regular 
medical care would not change if you decide to say “no”.  
 
You have other choices for treatment. Each of these choices has risks and benefits. You 
should talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about these choices.  
 
Other choices include:  
• 
Chemotherapy  
• 
Radiation therapy  
• 
Hormonal therapy  
• 
Experimental therapy or another research study  
• 
Surgery   
• 
No treatment   
 
The risks and benefits of these other treatments will be explained to you by your doctor. 
The study doctor will answer any questions you have about these other treatments.

If you decide that you don’t want any more active treatment, one of your options is called 
“comfort care.” Comfort care includes pain medication and other support. It aims to 
maintain your comfort and dignity rather than cure disease. Usually this care can be 
provided at home. If you think you might prefer comfort care, please discuss this with 
your family, friends and your doctor. 
  
Enrollment in this study may exclude you from other research studies.  
Protecting Privacy as an Individual and the Confidentiality of Personal Information  
If you join this study, some people or organizations might need to look at your medical 
records and research records for quality assurance or data analysis. They include: 
• 
Researchers involved with this study 
• 
Exelixis, the funding source for this study, and their agents.

How is my genetic information protected? 
 
A federal law called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) helps 
protect genetic information about people who join research studies.  
 
GINA restricts access to genetic information so that it cannot be used for health insurance 
coverage decisions. GINA prevent health insurance companies or group health plans

Would we pay you if you join this study? 
There is no payment for being in this study. 
Would you have extra costs if you join this study?  
The funding source of this study, Exelixis, will provide the study drug to you free of 
charge. Radiation therapy will be billed to you or your insurance as a standard of care 
treatment. Study related medical examinations and laboratory tests that are not part of 
your routine care for your condition will be provided at no charge. You may have to pay 
for some expenses related to this study, such as transportation to the study site, parking, 
meals, etc. Exelixis pays the study doctor to conduct the study and covers the cost of 
study-related tests and procedures. 
You or your insurance company will be billed in the usual way for examinations, testing, 
and treatments that are considered routine and required for the management of your 
cancer. Some examples of standard procedures include routine laboratory blood tests, x-
rays, CT or MRI scans, surgeries, blood transfusions, physicians’ charges, and routine 
medical care. 
Ask your study doctor to discuss the costs that will or will not be covered by Exelixis. 
This discussion should include the costs of treating side effects. Examples of medications 
you could possibly require in addition to the study medications include antibiotics or 
other medications to manage side effects of treatment. Otherwise, you might have 
unexpected expenses from being in this study. Your health insurance company might not 
pay for these charges because you are in a research study. You are responsible for charges 
your insurance company does not pay. 
You will not be billed for: the cost of the study medication (cabozantinib), correlative 
blood tests for research, tissue slides and curls from a previous biopsy, hepatitis and HIV 
blood screening tests, echocardiogram or MUGA test (baseline only), 12-lead ECG, lipid 
testing, coagulation testing (baseline only), or urine protein tests (baseline only).  
If you are on a Medicare Advantage Plan, please check with your plan regarding 
coverage as you may be responsible for certain costs. 
What if you get sick or hurt after you join this study? 
 
For a life-threatening problem, call 911 right away or seek help immediately. Contact 
your study doctor when the medical emergency is over or as soon as you can.

What will my information and/or tissue samples be used for? 
Your information and tissue samples (such as tumor cells) will be used for the purposes 
of this study. 
Your tissue samples might help researchers develop new products. This research could be 
done by for-profit companies. There is no plan to share with you any revenue generated 
from products developed using your tissue samples. 
During the study we may learn new information you need to know. For example, some 
information may affect your health or well-being. Other information may make you 
change your mind about being in this study. If we learn these kinds of information, we 
will tell you. 
In addition, be aware that by agreeing to participate in this study, your information or 
tissue samples could be used for future research studies or sent to other investigators for 
future research studies without additional consent from you. These future research studies 
will be reviewed by an oversight group known as an institutional review board if required 
by law. The information that identifies you will first be removed from your information 
or tissue samples. If you do not want your information or tissue samples to be used for 
future research studies without your consent, you should not participate in this study. 
Your tissue contains DNA. DNA makes up the genes that serve as the "instruction book" 
for the cells in our bodies. By studying genes, researchers can learn more about diseases 
such as cancer. There are many different types of genetic tests. The testing on your tissue 
samples might include genetic testing called whole genome sequencing. Whole genome 
sequencing looks at all the known genes in your cells. This type of testing can provide 
useful information to researchers. It can also present risks if the test results became 
known to others, for example you could have problems with family members or 
insurance companies. There is also a risk that these test results could be combined with 
other genetic information to identify you. 
There are two time points where we may collect additional archival tissue from you. 
Once during screening and a second one after you have completed study treatment. These 
archival tissues will only be collected if you are already having a surgery or biopsy as a 
part of your regular standard of care. Please indicate your choice below if you will allow 
us to collect this archival tissue:

We invite you to donate tissue samples for other research.  
After we do tests on tissue in this study, some tissue may be left over. We invite you to 
donate this leftover tissue for future research. This may include genetic research. 
If you join this study, you would not have to donate tissue for future research. You would 
be free to say “yes” or “no.” Regular medical care would not change if you say “no.”  
If you donate tissue, it would be stored in a secure location. If we want to use your tissue 
for other research or share it with other scientists for research, an ethics review 
committee (IRB) would review the request. The IRB would decide if we need to ask you 
for permission to do the research.  
Your donated tissue would be used only for research. This research could be done by for-
profit companies. Researchers would not report their results to you or your doctors. The 
research results would not be included in medical records. The results would not affect 
your medical care.  
Research with tissue might help develop new products. If these products make money, 
there is no plan to share the money with the participants who donate the tissue.  
If you donate tissue for research, you could withdraw the donation at any time by calling 
Dr. Lee Cranmer at 206-606-7439. You would have no penalty for withdrawing the 
donation, and regular medical care would not change. We could not return donated tissue, 
but we might be able to destroy the donated tissue. We could not destroy tissue if it is 
stored or shared without any label saying who donated it. In this case, it could still be 
used for research.  
 
Please read the sentence below and think about your choice. After reading the sentence, 
check either “Yes” or “No” box and initial next to your choice. If you have any questions, 
please contact your study doctor. 
 
My remaining tumor tissue from a previous or future surgery or biopsy may be stored and
