STUDY DESIGN: What does the study look like?

 There are 2 study arms (groups): all participating patients will be randomly divided (by a computer) in two groups. Patients in one group will be assigned to cabozantinib + BSC, the other group will receive BSC.

BSC includes antibiotics, nutritional support, correction of metabolic disorders, optimal symptom control and pain management (including palliative radiotherapy), etc. but does not include tumor specific therapy.
