3. Any type of anticancer agent (including investigational) within 2 weeks before randomization.
4. Radiation therapy within 4 weeks (2 weeks for radiation for bone metastases) or radionuclide treatment within 6 weeks of randomization.
5. Prior cabozantinib treatment.
6. Known brain metastases or cranial epidural disease unless adequately treated with radiotherapy and/or surgery and stable for at least 3 months before randomization.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Cabozantinib (XL184)	Cabozantinib tablets	Cabozantinib (XL184) 60 mg tablet once daily
Placebo	Placebo tablets	Oral cabozantinib-matched placebo tablet once daily

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall Survival (OS)	Up to 45 months	The primary analysis of OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. The analysis was based on a second planned interim analysis prespecified to be performed at approximately the 75% information fraction (ie, at approximately 466 deaths). The data cutoff date for this event-driven analysis in the Intent to Treat (ITT) population was 01 June 2017. Median OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	Up to 45 months	Duration of PFS is defined as the time of randomization to the earlier of the following events, progressive disease as determined by Investigator (per RECIST 1.0, which is defined by a ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions from baseline) or death due to any cause. A Kaplan- Meier analysis was performed to estimate the median duration.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	ORR is measured by radiologic assessment every 8 weeks after randomization until disease progression or discontinuation of study treatment (up to 45 months)	Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
