Cabozantinib in Combination With Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Patients With Locally Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Adrenal Cortical Cancer

This phase II trial tests how well cabozantinib in combination with pembrolizumab works in treating patients with adrenocortical cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic), or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Cabozantinib inhibits receptor tyrosine kinases, which are receptors commonly over-expressed by tumor cells. This may result in an inhibition of both tumor growth and blood vessel formation, eventually leading to a decrease in tumor size or extent in the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding cabozantinib to pembrolizumab may be more effective at treating patients with adrenal cortical cancer than giving these drugs alone.
