Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study will be to investigate the activity of daily oral doses of cabozantinib monotherapy until surgical removal of nodal disease (locally-advanced setting) or until disease progression or onset of unacceptable toxicity (metastatic setting).;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of cabozantinib monotherapy in a population of advanced patients with PSCC.;Primary end point(s): Assessment of response-rate by RECIST v1.1 criteria. RR (%) = CR + PR, locally assessed by the investigator;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Duration of the study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Assessment of the safety and tolerability: incidence, nature and severity of treatment-related adverse events will be graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0.; Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate as assessed in locally advanced patients undergoing surgery; Progression-free survival (PFS).; Overall Survival (OS).; Variations of the Quality of Life score as assessed with the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS), validated in Italian language.; Analysis of circulating biomarkers; Correlative endpoints;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Duration of the study; Duration of the study; Duration of the study; Duration of the study.; Duration of the study.; Duration of the study; duration of the study
