Trial design
Randomised, two active dose arms of cabozantinib: oral cabozantinib (140 mg) qd — subjects randomized to the 140 mg arm will receive active capsules (provided as 80- and 20-mg strengths) and placebo tablet; oral cabozantinib (60 mg) qd — subjects randomized to the 60 mg arm will receive active tablet (provided as 60- and 20-mg strengths) and placebo capsules.-controlled, adaptive Phase IV trial across 6 sites in Hungary, Poland, Croatia and others.

Sexually active fertile subjects and their partners must agree to use medically methods of contraception (defined in Appendix E) during the course of the study and for 4 months after the last dose of study treatment\n- 12. Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant at screening. Females of childbearing potential are defined as premenopausal females capable of becoming pregnant (ie, females who have had any evidence of menses in the past 12 months, with the exception of those who had prior hysterectomy). However, women who have been amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to prior chemotherapy, antiestrogens, or ovarian suppression or other reasons.\n- 2. Availability of tumor tissue for shipment to the central laboratory according to prior determination of RET mutation status: a. For subjects lacking evidence of a RET or RAS mutation, a recent tumor tissue sample (defined as collected within 6 months prior to randomization) will be required. Tissue shall come from a progressive tumor location, preferably from the most recently progressed metastatic site if feasible. If a recent tumor sample is not available, a tumor biopsy will be obtained during screening. b. Subjects with documentation of a RET or RAS mutation found in tumor tissue will not be required to submit a recent tumor tissue sample; however, the report demonstrating the subject’s RET or RAS mutation must be reviewed and approved by the sponsor prior to subject randomization. c. For subjects with documentation of a hereditary RET mutation (ie, pathology report showing presence of a specific RET mutation identified in a blood sample), a tumor sample will not be required. Review and approval of the RET mutation report by the sponsor is required prior to randomization of the subject.\n- 3. The subject has MTC that is metastatic as determined by the investigator based upon computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scan, PET scan, or X-ray taken within 28 days before randomization.\n- 4. The subject has disease that is measurable per RECIST 1.1 as determined by the investigator based upon CT or MRI images taken within 28 days before randomization.\n- 5. The subject has documented progressive disease (PD) on CT, MRI, PET scan, bone scan, or X-ray as determined by the investigator per RECIST 1.1 on qualifying images taken within 4 months prior to randomization as compared to previous images taken within 14 months before the qualifying images (see Section 5.5.6.2). a. PET scan can only be used to establish PD by the presence of new lesions (not to document increases in target or non-target lesions). b. Bone scan or x-ray, can only be used to establish PD by the presence of new lesions in bone (not to document increases in target or non-target lesions).\n- 6. The subject has recovered to baseline or CTCAE v4.0 (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0) ≤ Grade 1 from toxicities related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically non-significant and/or stable on supportive therapy.\n- 7. The subject is ≥ 18 years old on the day of consent.\n- 8. The subject has an ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) status ≤ 1 at screening\n- 9. The subject has adequate organ and marrow function, based upon the following laboratory criteria from assessments performed within 28 days before randomization a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3 b. Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 c. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL d. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN). For subjects with known Gilbert’s disease, total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL. e. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 3.0 x ULN f. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (using the Cockcroft-Gault equation: CrCl (mL/min) = (140 – age) x wt (kg) / (serum creatinine [mg/dL] x 72); for females multiply by 0.85 g. Urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤ 1 mg/mg (≤ 113.1 mg/mmol) or 24-hour urine protein < 1 g h. The subject has prothrombin time (PT)/INR or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test results at screening ≤ 1.3 x the laboratory ULN"}
