A Phase II Trial of Cabozantinib With Patients With Refractory GCTs

NCT04876456

Description:

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.
