Study Summary

This trial is studying a combination of drugs to treat neuroendocrine tumors. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are immunotherapy drugs that help the body's immune system attack the cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, excluding small cell lung cancer and merkel cell carcinoma. Participants must have only failed one prior treatment, have measurable disease, and be able to perform daily activities (ECOG <=2). They should not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must agree to use contraception. People who've had major surgery recently, those with active autoimmune diseases or a history of severe allergies to similar drugs are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of combining XL184 (cabozantinib), nivolumab, and ipilimumab in treating certain neuroendocrine tumors. Cabozantinib may block enzymes needed for tumor growth while nivolumab and ipilimumab could help the immune system fight cancer by interfering with tumor growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include high blood pressure, tiredness, liver issues like hepatitis, diarrhea or colitis from inflammation in the intestines; skin problems such as rash; hormonal gland problems like thyroid disorders; kidney failure; infusion reactions during drug administration; muscle pain or weakness.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (cabozantinib s-malate, nivolumab, ipilimumab)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive cabozantinib s-malate PO QD on days 1-21 of cycles 1-4 and days 1-28 of subsequent cycles, nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1, and ipilimumab IV over 90 minutes on day 1 of cycles 1-4 only. Treatment repeats every 21 for 4 cycles then every 28 days for subsequent cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
