About

This pilot clinical trial studies cabozantinib-s-malate in treating patients with hormone-resistant metastatic prostate cancer. Cabozantinib-s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the timing, pathophysiology, and magnitude of changes in tumor imaging and pharmacodynamic markers with XL184 (cabozantinib-s-malate) treatment in metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) achieved with XL184 in metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients.

II. To evaluate the feasibility of the therapy, and the toxicities associated. III. To evaluate overall survival (OS) in metastatic CRPC patients post androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) treated with XL-184.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive cabozantinib-s-malate orally (PO) daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks and then periodically thereafter.

The subject is capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and has signed the informed consent document
Patients participating in this trial must also be eligible and willing to sign consent for participation in [2'-18F]-1-(2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)thymine (FMAU) and 18F-flouride positron emission tomography (PET) scans done under separate protocols
Sexually active subjects (men) must agree to use medically accepted barrier methods of contraception (eg, male condom, or diaphragm with spermicidal gel) during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study drug(s), even if oral contraceptives are also used by the female partner; all subjects of reproductive potential must agree to use both a barrier method and a second method of birth control
Projected life expectancy of at least 6 months
No prior history of other malignancies in the last 3 years, except for squamous and basal cell skin cancer

Exclusion criteria
