Summary

This trial is testing if cabozantinib, a drug typically used to treat thyroid and kidney cancers, is effective in treating meningioma, a type of brain tumor.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent or progressive meningioma who have tried standard treatments over 6 months ago or can't receive them. They must be in good physical condition, with proper liver, kidney, and blood function, not pregnant or breastfeeding, willing to use contraception and follow the study plan. People under 18, with certain heart issues, infections needing IV antibiotics, uncontrolled illnesses or recent serious injuries are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Cabozantinib's effectiveness on patients with meningioma that has come back or gotten worse after treatment. It's a Phase II study where all participants will receive Cabozantinib to see how well it works against this type of brain tumor.
What are the potential side effects?
Cabozantinib may cause side effects like high blood pressure, tiredness, loss of appetite, digestive problems such as diarrhea and nausea; hand-foot skin reactions; weight loss; new or worsening high blood pressure; bleeding problems; and slow wound healing.
