Clinical Trials

A Phase I/II Study of Cabozantinib (XL184) in Patients with Recurrent or Persistent Myeloma

Protocol
12-240
Full Title
A Phase I/II Trial of Cabozantinib (XL184) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Myeloma
Purpose

Cabozantinib (XL184) is an investigational drug that blocks several proteins (called MET, RET, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2) that help keep cancer cells alive, including myeloma cells. It works differently than other drugs approved for treating multiple myeloma. It is a capsule that is taken orally (by mouth).

In this study, researchers are assessing the safety and effectiveness of cabozantinib in patients with multiple myeloma that has returned after or continued to grow despite previous treatment.
