Study Summary

Immunotherapy has gained a significant amount of attention recently, but its efficacy as a single agent in gynecological cancers has been disappointing. Pre-clinical evidence supports the combination of using Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF) inhibitors with immunotherapy. VEGF inhibitors suppress the activation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and VEGF has been shown to affect the functional maturation of dendritic cells; therefore, VEGF inhibitors could improve the function of antigen presentation. In this study, Cabozantinib (VEGF inhibitor) and Dostarlimab (immunotherapeutic drug) will be admnistered as a combination to patients with recurrent gynecologic carcinosarcoma.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of carcinosarcoma (independent of organ ofgynecologic origin)

  2. Received at least one prior chemotherapy regimen for their cancer

  3. Must have measurable or evaluable lesion defined by iRECIST

  4. Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 CTCAE v5.0 from toxicities related to any priortreatments, unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportivetherapy

  5. ECOG Performance Status of 0-2

  6. Age ≥ 18 years

  7. Adequate organ and marrow function, based upon meeting all of the followinglaboratory criteria within 14 days before first dose of study treatment:

  9. White blood cell count ≥ 2500/mm3 (≥ 2.5 GI/L).

  10. Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 (≥ 100 GI/L) without transfusion.

  11. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (≥ 90 g/L).

  12. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkalinephosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN). ALP ≤ 5 x ULN withdocumented bone metastases.

  13. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (for patients with Gilbert's disease ≤ 3 x ULN).

  14. Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dl.

  15. Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 x ULN or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (≥ 0.5 mL/sec) using the Cockcroft-Gault equation:

[(140 - age) x weight (kg)/(serum creatinine [mg/dL] × 72)] × 0.85 i. Urineprotein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤ 1 mg/mg (≤ 113.2 mg/mmol).

  1. Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and must havesigned the informed consent document.

  2. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) ie. sexually active fertile patients andtheir partners must agree to use medically accepted methods of contraception (e.g.,barrier methods, including male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with spermicidalgel) during the course of the study and for 5 months after the last dose of studytreatment.

  3. Females should not breastfeed while receiving treatment on trial.

  4. Female patients of childbearing potential must not be pregnant at screening. Femalesof childbearing potential are defined as premenopausal females capable of becomingpregnant (i.e., females who have had any evidence of menses in the past 12 months,with the exception of those who had a prior hysterectomy). However, women who havebeen amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearingpotential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to prior chemotherapy, antiestrogens,low body weight, ovarian suppression, or other reasons.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior treatment with cabozantinib.

  2. Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigationalkinase inhibitor) within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before firstdose of study treatment.

  3. Receipt of any type of cytotoxic, biologic, or other systemic anticancer therapy (including investigational) within 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment.

  4. Radiation therapy for bone metastasis within 2 weeks, any other radiation therapywithin 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Systemic treatment withradionuclides within 6 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. Patients withclinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy are noteligible.

  5. Known brain metastases or cranial epidural disease unless adequately treated withradiotherapy and/or surgery (including radiosurgery) and stable for at least 4 weeksbefore first dose of study treatment. Eligible patients must be neurologicallyasymptomatic and without corticosteroid treatment at the time of first dose of studytreatment.

  6. Concomitant anticoagulation with coumarin agents (e.g., warfarin), direct thrombininhibitors (e.g., dabigatran), direct factor Xa inhibitor betrixabin, or plateletinhibitors (e.g., clopidogrel). Allowed anticoagulants are the following:
