United States50 participantsStarted 2021-06-10
Plain-language summary
The purpose of the CTO-IUSCCC-0752 study is to investigate the use of Cabozantinib for patients with incurable, refractory germ cell tumors. Patients will be treated until evidence of disease progression, non-compliance with study protocol, unacceptable major toxicity, at subject's own request for withdrawal, or if the study closes for any reason.

Inclusion criteria
. Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information.
. Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements.
. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
. Histological or serological evidence of germ cell tumor, including seminoma, non-seminoma, and women with ovarian GCTs.
. Must have progressed after first-line cisplatin based combination chemotherapy AND demonstrated progression following at least one salvage regimen for advanced germ cell and now considered incurable with standard therapies, including further chemotherapy or surgery.
.1. "Failure" of prior therapy is defined as: 5.1.1. A \>25% increase in the products of the perpendicular diameters of measurable tumor masses during prior therapy which are not amenable to surgical resection.
.1.2. The presence of new tumors that are not amenable to surgical resection 5.1.3. An increase in AFP or beta-hcg (two separate determinations at least one week apart are required if rising tumor markers are the only evidence of failure).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

Clinical benefit rate
Timeframe: Start of the treatment until time of death or last follow up visit (up to 2 years)
. Subjects with relapsed primary mediastinal non-seminomatous germ cell tumor (PMNSGCT) are eligible
Exclusion criteria
. Prior treatment with Cabozantinib.
. Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitor) within 2 weeks before first dose of study treatment.
. Subjects who have not received ≥1 salvage treatment regimens (except late relapse) or have further potentially curative treatment options.
. Known brain metastases or cranial epidural disease unless adequately treated and stable for at least 4 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment. Subjects must have complete wound healing from major surgery or minor surgery before first dose of study treatment. Eligible subjects must be neurologically asymptomatic at the time of first dose of study treatment.
. Radiation therapy for bone metastasis within 2 weeks, or any other radiation therapy within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment.
. Expecting to father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
. Treatment with investigational agent, any type of cytotoxic, biologic or other systematic anticancer therapy within 28 days prior to registration for protocol therapy.
. Subjects with another active malignancy is not allowed except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, Gleason \< Grade 7 prostate cancers, or other cancer for which the subject has not required therapy for ≥1 year.
