Summary

This trial is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for rare genitourinary tumors.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with rare genitourinary tumors that have spread, who can swallow pills and don't have active brain metastases or certain illnesses. They may have had up to two cancer treatments before or none at all. Participants must not be on warfarin, have a good performance status (Karnofsky >=80%), no recent major surgeries, no severe allergies to monoclonal antibodies, and controlled medical conditions are okay.

What is being tested?

The study tests how well the combination of cabozantinib (a drug blocking enzymes needed for cell growth), nivolumab and ipilimumab (both immunotherapy drugs) works against advanced genitourinary cancers compared to each drug alone. It's a phase II trial where these drugs' effectiveness in stopping tumor growth will be observed using scans like PET, CT, MRI.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include immune-related reactions such as inflammation in organs due to nivolumab and ipilimumab; fatigue; digestive issues; skin problems; hormonal changes; increased risk of infections. Cabozantinib might cause high blood pressure, hand-foot syndrome (redness and pain in hands/feet), mouth sores.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Treatment (cabozantinib, nivolumab, ipilimumab)Experimental Treatment9 Interventions

Patients receive cabozantinib PO QD on days 1-21 of cycles 1-4 and on days 1-28 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and ipilimumab IV over 90 minutes on day 1 of cycles 1-4. Patients then receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of subsequent cycles. Treatment repeats every 21 days for cycles 1-4 and every 28 days for subsequent cycles for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may undergo echocardiography during screening and undergo CT or MRI, bone scan and blood and urine sample collection throughout the trial and may undergo PET/CT throughout the trial.
