Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm II (temozolomide or dacarbazine)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive temozolomide PO daily on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If temozolomide is not available, patients receive dacarbazine IV over 15-60 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm I (cabozantinib-s-malate)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients receive cabozantinib-s-malate PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
