Inclusion criteria:

• Histological confirmation of ACC based on either:

  i) Weiss Score of ≥ 3 in patients who had earlier surgical resection (Lin-Weiss-Bisceglia system will be used for oncocytic ACC) OR ii) biopsy results compatible with ACC in the context of clinical setting highly suggestive of ACC (adrenal mass > 4 cm invading surrounding organs or associated with distant metastases).

• Locally advanced or metastatic disease not amenable to surgery with curative intent with measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 37 as determined by the investigator based on an assessment of all known disease sites by computerized tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of chest/abdomen/pelvis within 28 days before the first dose of cabozantinib
• Received prior treatment with mitotane and platinum containing chemotherapy. Patients in whom mitotane and/or platinum containing chemotherapy is contraindicated or who refused treatment with mitotane and/or platinum containing chemotherapy are eligible for the study.
• Documented progressive disease.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2
• Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 CTCAE v.5.0 from toxicities related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically non-significant and/or stable on supportive therapy
• Life expectancy of at least 3 months

• Adequate organ and bone marrow function and laboratory values as follows within 14 days prior to the first dose of cabozantinib:

  1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/μL without colony stimulating factor support, white blood cell count ≥ 2500/μL.
  2. Platelets ≥ 100,000/μL without transfusion

  4. Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN). For subjects with known Gilbert's disease, bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL
  5. Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dl
  6. (PT)/INR or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test < 1.3 x the laboratory ULN

  7. Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 × ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 30 mL/min. For creatinine clearance estimation, the Cockcroft and Gault equation should be used:

     Multiply above result by 0.85

  8. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN). In case of liver metastases ALT and AST ≤ 5.0 x ULN are acceptable. ALP ≤ 5 x ULN with documented bone metastases.

Exclusion criteria:

• Received cytotoxic chemotherapy, or targeted therapy (including investigational cytotoxic chemotherapy) or biologic agents (e.g., cytokines or antibodies), or other investigational agent within 14 days before study treatment.
• Treatment with mitotane <28 days prior study inclusion OR mitotane serum/plasma concentration documented of ≥2 mg/L at screening. Up to 5 mg/L are acceptable with Sponsor approval.
• Prior treatment with cabozantinib or other cMET inhibitors
• Radiation therapy within 4 weeks (2 weeks for radiation for bone metastases) or radionuclide treatment (eg, I-131 or Y-90) within 6 weeks before first dose of study treatment.

Subject is excluded if there are any clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy.

- Known brain metastases or cranial epidural disease unless adequately treated with radiotherapy and/or surgery (including radiosurgery) and stable for at least 4 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment after radiotherapy or at least 4 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment after major surgery (e.g., removal or biopsy of brain metastasis).

Subjects must have complete wound healing from major surgery or minor surgery before first dose of study treatment. Eligible subjects must be neurologically asymptomatic and without corticosteroid treatment at the time of first dose of study treatment.

Corticosteroid replacement treatment is allowed with dose at the discretion of the investigator.

• Concomitant anticoagulation with coumarin agents (e.g., warfarin), direct thrombin inhibitors (e.g., dabigatran), direct factor Xa inhibitor betrixaban, or platelet inhibitors (e.g., clopidogrel). Allowed anticoagulants are the following:

  1. Prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin for cardio-protection (per local applicable guidelines) and low-dose low molecular weight heparins (LMWH).
  2. Therapeutic doses of LMWH or anticoagulation with direct factor Xa inhibitors rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or apixaban in subjects without known brain metastases who are on a stable dose of the anticoagulant for at least 1 week before first dose of study treatment without clinically significant hemorrhagic complications from the anticoagulation regimen or the tumor.
• The use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (with the exception of ketoconazole).

• The subject has uncontrolled, significant intercurrent or recent illness including, but not limited to, the following conditions:

  a. Cardiovascular disorders: i. Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association Class 3 or 4, unstable angina pectoris, serious cardiac arrhythmias. ii. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as sustained blood pressure (BP) > 140 mm Hg systolic or > 90 mm Hg diastolic despite optimal antihypertensive treatment. iii. Stroke (including transient ischemic attack [TIA]), myocardial infarction (MI), or other ischemic event, or thromboembolic event (e.g., deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) within 6 months before first dose of study treatment. b. Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders including those associated with a high risk of perforation or fistula formation: i. The subject has evidence of tumor invading the GI tract, active peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease), diverticulitis, cholecystitis, symptomatic cholangitis or appendicitis, acute pancreatitis, acute obstruction of the pancreatic duct or common bile duct, or gastric outlet obstruction. ii.
