A Phase II Study of Cabozantinib (XL184) for Plexiform Neurofibromas in Subjects With Neurofibromatosis Type 1 in Children and Adults
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Cabozantinib for NF1 and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 12 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study, "A Phase II Study of Cabozantinib (XL l84) for Plexiform Neurofibromas in Subjects with Neurofibromatosis Type I in Children and Adults diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and have a type of tumor called a plexiform neurofibroma (PN). Neurofibromas are tumors that develop from the cells and tissues that cover the nerves. Plexiform neurofibromas can be disfiguring, painful, and life-threatening. These types of tumors typically do not respond well to most treatment approaches such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery because of their slow growth and location near vital structures of the body such as nerves, blood vessels, and the airway. The primary objective is to determine the response rate of NF1 patients with plexiform neurofibromas treated with Cabozantinib therapy using MRI scans. The objective response rate to cabozantinib is defined as ≥ 20% reduction in tumor volume at the end of 12 cycles.

Timeline
Interventions
This is an open label Phase II clinical trial. For both cohorts, subjects will receive cabozantinib orally in continuous cycles. Each cycle is 28 days. In absence of progressive disease or dose limiting toxicity (DLT), subjects may continue therapy for a total of 24 cycles. Subjects with radiographic response (20% or greater reduction in tumor volume) at the end of 12 cycles can continue on therapy for up to an additional year. However, for Cohort A, subjects who do not achieve 15% reduction in tumor volume after 8 cycles will be considered treatment failure and taken off study. For Cohort B, the criteria that subjects who do not achieve 15% reduction by 8 cycles are considered treatment failure and taken off study was eliminated. Subjects will be carefully monitored for toxicities associated with cabozantinib.
