Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
Inclusion Criteria:
- Written informed consent.

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3

- Ability to swallow tablets
- Contraception for sexually active fertile patients and their partners. Of note, abarrier method is recommended in addition to the use of steroid hormonalcontraceptives, because the effects of cabozantinib on the pharmacokinetics of thelatter are unknown.
- Evidence of post menopausal status or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausalsubject
Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients taking regular oral steroids, above the allowed limit of 10mg/daymethylprednisolone or analogues, for any reason. Patients must not have had steroidsfor 28 days prior to study entry.
- Malignancies other than bladder carcinoma within 5 years prior to Cycle 1, Day 1, withthe exception of those with a negligible risk of metastasis or death and treated withexpected curative outcome (such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix,basal or squamous cell skin cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ treated surgicallywith curative intent) or localized prostate cancer treated with curative intent andabsence of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse or incidental prostate cancer (Gleason score ≤ 3 + 4 and PSA < 10 ng/mL undergoing active surveillance and treatmentnaive).
- Evidence of significant uncontrolled concomitant disease that could affect compliancewith the protocol or interpretation of results.
- Active or untreated CNS metastases as determined by computed tomography (CT) ormagnetic resonance imaging evaluation during screening and prior radiographicassessments.
- Patients with treated asymptomatic CNS metastases are eligible, provided they meet allof the following criteria:
- Evaluable or measurable disease outside the CNS
- No metastases to midbrain, pons, medulla, or within 10 mm of the optic apparatus (optic nerves and chiasm)
- No history of intracranial or spinal cord hemorrhage
- No ongoing requirement for corticosteroid as therapy for CNS disease;anti-convulsants at a stable dose are allowed
- No evidence of significant vasogenic edema
- No stereotactic radiation, whole-brain radiation or neurosurgical resectionwithin 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1
- Radiographic demonstration of interim stability (i.e., no progression) betweenthe completion of CNS-directed therapy and the screening radiographic study
- Screening CNS radiographic study ≥ 4 weeks since completion of radiotherapy orsurgical resection and ≥ 2 weeks since discontinuation of corticosteroids
- Pregnant female patients. All female patients of childbearing potential with apositive pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment willbe excluded from the study.

- Uncontrolled hypertension, stroke or other ischemic or thromboembolic event (DVT, PE)within 6 months before first dose of cabozantinib.
- Severe infections within 4 weeks prior to enrolment in the study including but notlimited to hospitalization for complications of infection, bacteraemia, or severepneumonia.
- Major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to enrolmentor anticipation of need fora major surgical procedure during the course of the study other than for diagnosis.Complete wound healing from major surgery must have occurred 1 month before inclusionand from minor surgery (eg, simple excision, tooth extraction) at least 10 days beforeinclusion. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior surgeryare not eligible.
- Received therapeutic oral or intravenous (IV) antibiotics within 2 weeks prior toenrolment (patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics, e.g., for prevention of aurinary tract infection or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, are eligible).

- Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism, unless on a stable doseof thyroid-replacement hormone.
- Patients with uncontrolled Type 1 diabetes mellitus
- Uncontrolled hypercalcemia (> 1.5 mmol/L ionized calcium or Ca > 12 mg/dL or correctedserum calcium > ULN) or symptomatic hypercalcemia requiring continued use ofbisphosphonate therapy or denosumab. Patients who are receiving bisphosphonate therapyor denosumab specifically to prevent skeletal events and who do not have a history ofclinically significant hypercalcemia are eligible. Patients who are receivingdenosumab prior to enrollment must be willing and eligible to receive a bisphosphonateinstead while on study.
