Study Summary

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new cancer drug when used in combination with another cancer drug. The new drug is being tested on people with different types of cancer, including bladder, kidney, prostate, and breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with various advanced or recurrent solid tumors, including specific cancers like bladder, kidney, prostate, lung, breast (triple negative), ovarian, endometrial, liver, stomach/esophageal junction/lower esophagus cancer. Participants must have measurable disease and be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1). They should not be pregnant and agree to use contraception. Prior treatments are allowed except for cabozantinib or certain immune therapies unless specified.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of two drugs: Cabozantinib and Atezolizumab in patients with multiple types of advanced cancers. It has two stages; first determining the best dose of Cabozantinib to combine with standard Atezolizumab doses and then expanding to more patients to assess safety and effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, high blood pressure from Cabozantinib; while Atezolizumab may cause immune-related reactions such as inflammation in organs like lungs or intestines. Both can affect liver function tests and potentially lead to bleeding.
