Summary
This phase II trial tests whether nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib works in
patients with mucosal melanoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab,
may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of
tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking
some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal
protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps stop the spread of tumor cells.
Giving nivolumab in combination with cabozantinib could prevent cancer from returning.
