• Before patient registration, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities that may increase the risk for gastrointestinal bleeding and/or fistula / perforation including, but not limited to: Active peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), history of abdomino and/or pelvic fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess, gastro-intestinal obstruction

• Clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities that may affect absorption of investigational product including, but not limited to: malabsorption syndrome, major resection of the stomach or small bowel.
• Previously identified allergy or hypersensitivity to components of the study treatment formulations (Note: patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take cabozantinib and are also excluded).

• Corrected QT interval (QTc) calculated by the Fridericia formula > 500 msec within 28 days before inclusion (see Annex for Fridericia formula). Note: if initial QTcF is found to be > 500 msec, two additional ECGs separated by at least 3 minutes should be performed. If the average of these three consecutive results for QTcF is ≤ 500 msec, the subject meets eligibility in this regard.
• Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) of > 150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of > 100 mmHg despite an optimal treatment.
• History of cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack (TIA), symptomatic pulmonary embolism or untreated deep venous thrombosis (DVT) within the past 6 months. Note: Subjects with recent DVT or asymptomatic pulmonary embolism who have been treated with therapeutic anti-coagulating agents for at least 4 weeks are eligible.
• Major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to first dose of investigational product and/or presence of any non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer.
• Evidence of active bleeding or pathologic conditions that carry high risk of bleeding such as coagulopathy or tumor involving major vessels.
• At least 6 weeks must have elapsed between the last dose of pelvis palliative radiation and the first dose of cabozantinib or 2 weeks for other localization of palliative radiation
• Presence of brain metastases or epidural disease unless adequately treated with radiotherapy and/or surgery (including radiosurgery) and stable for at least 3 months before inclusion. Eligible subjects must be neurologically asymptomatic and without corticosteroid treatment at the time of inclusion.
• Concomitant use of known strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers.
• Patients with second primary cancer, except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, or other solid tumors curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥ 3 years
• Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
• Concurrent participation in any therapeutic clinical trial
• Patient deprived of liberty or placed under the authority of a tutor

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Efficacy of Cabozantinib: Proportion of Patients With Disease Control Rate	Efficacy assessed by the proportion of patients with disease control rate	3 months after cabozantinib treatment initiation.
Safety of Cabozantinib: Proportion of Patients With Clinical Gastro-intestinal (GI) Perforation/Fistula, GI-vaginal Fistula and Genito-urinary (GU) Fistula Events Grade ≥ 2 (NCI CTCAE v 5.0)	Safety assessed by the proportion of patients with clinical gastro-intestinal (GI) perforation/fistula, GI-vaginal fistula and genito-urinary (GU) fistula events grade ≥ 2 (NCI CTCAE v 5.0)	toxicities occurring up to 1 month after the end of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Response (RECIST v1.1 Criteria)	Objective response rate defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved complete response or partial response with RECIST 1.1 criteria.	From treatment start up to 24 months
Progression-free Survival (PFS)	Progression-free survival, defined as the time between initiation of cabozantinib treatment and progression (RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death of any cause whichever occurs first.	At the end of cycle 3,6,9... (each cycle is 28 days) through study completion, an average of 1 follow-up year
Overall Survival	Overall survival, defined as the time between initiation of cabozantinib treatment and death of whatever cause.	through study completion, an average of 1 follow-up year
Safety Profile of Cabozantinib	Rate of patients observing at least one toxicity, evaluated according to NCI CTCAE v5.0 criteria. Details will then be given in Adverse Events section.	every cycle of treatment (each cycle is 28 days) through study completion, an average of 1 follow-up year
Incidence of Treatment Quality-of-life of Patients Assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 /CX24 Questionnaire	The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a validated questionnaire used to assess health-related quality of life in cancer patients. It measures global quality of life, functional status, and symptom burden. The EORTC QLQ-CX24 is a cervical cancer-specific module that complements the QLQ-C30 by evaluating disease- and treatment-related symptoms, body image, and sexual functioning. For both questionnaires, raw scores are linearly transformed to a standardized scale ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores on functional and global quality-of-life scales indicate better functioning and quality of life, whereas higher scores on symptom scales indicate greater symptom severity or more problems. For the QLQ-CX24, higher scores on sexual activity and sexual enjoyment reflect better functioning. In general, high functional scores and low symptom scores indicate a more favorable health-related quality of life.	At Day 15 of cycle 2 (each cycle is 28 days)
