Summary

This trial is testing whether a drug called cabozantinib is effective at treating patients with a type of thyroid cancer called differentiated thyroid cancer. The trial is open-label, which means that both the patients and doctors will know which patients are taking the drug. The trial is not randomized, which means that the patients will not be assigned to either a treatment group or a control group by chance. The starting dose of cabozantinib is 60mg taken orally once a day. The patients will be able to continue taking the drug as long as it is effective or until they experience side effects that are not tolerable.
