Summary

This phase 2 trial tests the drug cabozantinib in women with advanced or metastatic cervical cancer that has worsened after platinum-based chemotherapy. The study aims to see if cabozantinib can control the disease and how safe it is, particularly regarding risks like fistulas. Participants take a daily 60 mg pill in 4-week cycles until the cancer progresses or side effects become too severe.
