Trial Results Posted: Cabozantinib-S-Malate in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent, Refractory, or Newly Diagnosed Sarcomas, Wilms Tumor, or Other Rare Tumors (NCT02867592)

Researchers are testing a drug called cabozantinib-s-malate to treat children and young adults with rare cancers, including sarcomas (muscle cancers), Wilms tumor (kidney cancer), and other solid tumors that have come back after treatment or didn't respond to initial therapy. The drug works by blocking proteins that help tumors grow and form new blood vessels. This phase II trial has enrolled 109 patients and is no longer recruiting new participants.

WHY IT MATTERSIf your child has a recurrent or treatment-resistant sarcoma, Wilms tumor, or other rare pediatric solid tumor, this completed trial data may help inform whether cabozantinib could be an option to discuss with their oncologist.
