  2. Received at least one prior chemotherapy regimen for their cancer
  3. Must have measurable or evaluable lesion defined by iRECIST

    7. Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dl.
    8. Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 x ULN or calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min (≥ 0.5 mL/sec) using the Cockcroft-Gault equation:

    [(140 - age) x weight (kg)/(serum creatinine [mg/dL] × 72)] × 0.85 i. Urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≤ 1 mg/mg (≤ 113.2 mg/mmol).

  8. Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and must have signed the informed consent document.
  9. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) ie. sexually active fertile patients and their partners must agree to use medically accepted methods of contraception (e.g., barrier methods, including male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with spermicidal gel) during the course of the study and for 5 months after the last dose of study treatment.
  10. Females should not breastfeed while receiving treatment on trial.
  11. Female patients of childbearing potential must not be pregnant at screening. Females of childbearing potential are defined as premenopausal females capable of becoming pregnant (i.e., females who have had any evidence of menses in the past 12 months, with the exception of those who had a prior hysterectomy). However, women who have been amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to prior chemotherapy, antiestrogens, low body weight, ovarian suppression, or other reasons.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior treatment with cabozantinib.
  2. Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitor) within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before first dose of study treatment.
  3. Receipt of any type of cytotoxic, biologic, or other systemic anticancer therapy (including investigational) within 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment.
  4. Radiation therapy for bone metastasis within 2 weeks, any other radiation therapy within 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Systemic treatment with radionuclides within 6 weeks before the first dose of study treatment. Patients with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior radiation therapy are not eligible.
  5. Known brain metastases or cranial epidural disease unless adequately treated with radiotherapy and/or surgery (including radiosurgery) and stable for at least 4 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Eligible patients must be neurologically asymptomatic and without corticosteroid treatment at the time of first dose of study treatment.
  6. Concomitant anticoagulation with oral anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, direct thrombin and Factor Xa inhibitors) or platelet inhibitors (e.g., clopidogrel).

    Allowed anticoagulants are the following:

    1. Low-dose aspirin for cardioprotection (per local applicable guidelines) is permitted.
    2. Low-dose low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) are permitted.
    3. Anticoagulation with therapeutic doses of LMWH is allowed in patients without known brain metastases who are on a stable dose of LMWH for at least 6 weeks before first dose of study treatment, and who have had no clinically significant hemorrhagic complications from the anticoagulation regimen or the tumor.
  7. The patient has prothrombin time (PT)/INR or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test ≥ 1.3 X the laboratory ULN within 7 days before the first dose of study treatment.
  8. The patient 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.

    b. Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders including those associated with a high risk of perforation or fistula formation: i. The patient 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. Abdominal fistula, GI perforation, bowel obstruction, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months before first dose.

    Note: Complete healing of an intra-abdominal abscess must be confirmed before first dose.

    c. Clinically significant hematuria, hematemesis, or hemoptysis of > 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of red blood, or other history of significant bleeding (e.g., pulmonary hemorrhage) within 12 weeks before first dose.

    d. Cavitating pulmonary lesion(s) or known endotracheal or endobronchial disease manifestation.

    e. Lesions invading or encasing any major blood vessels. f. Other clinically significant disorders that would preclude safe study participation.

    i. Serious non-healing wound/ulcer/bone fracture ii. Uncompensated/symptomatic hypothyroidism (i.e. inadequately treated hypothyroidism) iii. Moderate to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B or C)

  9. Major surgery (e.g., laparoscopic nephrectomy, GI surgery, removal or biopsy of brain metastasis) within 2 weeks before first dose of study treatment. Minor surgeries within 10 days before first dose of study treatment. Subjects must have complete wound healing from major surgery or minor surgery before first dose of study treatment. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior surgery are not eligible.
  10. Corrected QT interval calculated by the Fridericia formula (QTcF) > 500 ms per electrocardiogram (ECG) within 28 days before first dose of study treatment [add reference for Fridericia formula].

    Note: If a single ECG shows a QTcF with an absolute value > 500 ms, two additional ECGs at intervals of approximately 3 min must be performed within 30 min after the initial ECG, and the average of these three consecutive results for QTcF will be used to determine eligibility.

  11. Inability to swallow tablets.
  12. Previously identified allergy or hypersensitivity to components of the study treatment formulations.
  13. Diagnosis of another malignancy within 2 years before first dose of study treatment, except for superficial skin cancers, or localized, low-grade tumors deemed cured and not treated with systemic therapy.
  14. Patients with concurrent cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy are excluded.
  15. Patients with a serious chronic or acute illness, such as cardiac disease (NYHA class III or IV), hepatic disease, or other illness considered by the Principal Investigator as unwarranted high risk for investigational drug treatment.
  16. Patients with a medical or psychological impediment to probable compliance with the protocol should be excluded.
  17. Presence of a known active acute or chronic infection including: a urinary tract infection, HIV or viral hepatitis; however, it is acceptable to treat an acute infection and then re-screen or re-evaluate eligibility.
  18. Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to first dose of study treatment
  19. Other clinically significant disorders:

    1. History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan.
    2. Active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease (exceptions: type 1 diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, skin disorders, conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger)
    3. Malabsorption syndrome
    4. Requirement for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
    5. History of solid organ or allogenic stem cell transplant

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Immunotherapy has gained a significant amount of attention recently, but its efficacy as a single agent in gynecological cancers has been disappointing. Pre-clinical evidence supports the combination of using Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF) inhibitors with immunotherapy. VEGF inhibitors suppress the activation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and VEGF has been shown to affect the functional maturation of dendritic cells; therefore, VEGF inhibitors could improve the function of antigen presentation. In this study, Cabozantinib (VEGF inhibitor) and Dostarlimab (immunotherapeutic drug) will be admnistered as a combination to patients with recurrent gynecologic carcinosarcoma.
