Cabozantinib for High-Risk Pediatric Solid Tumors

This study is testing a drug called cabozantinib maleate to see if it can prevent cancer from coming back or getting worse in children and young adults with certain high-risk solid tumors, specifically neuroblastoma and sarcoma. You might be able to join if you are between 18 months and 40 years old and have already had treatment for your cancer with a good response. The study aims to see if taking cabozantinib daily for up to 12 months can improve the chance of staying cancer-free for at least one year. This research is important because these types of cancers often come back and there are not many good treatment options when they do.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 86 participants. The phase of the study is not specified.
What's involved
You would take cabozantinib maleate tablets daily for up to 12 months, in 28-day cycles.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The main goal is measured at 4 years, suggesting follow-up for at least that long after treatment.
