Testing the Addition of a New Anti-cancer Drug, Radium-223 Dichloride, to the Usual Treatment (Cabozantinib) for Advanced Renal Cell Cancer That Has Spread to the Bone, RadiCaL Study

Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies whether adding radium-223 dichloride to the usual treatment, cabozantinib, improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that has spread to the bone. Radioactive drugs such as radium-223 dichloride may directly target radiation to cancer cells and minimize harm to normal cells. Cabozantinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving radium-223 dichloride and cabozantinib may help lessen the pain and symptoms from renal cell cancer that has spread to the bone, compared to cabozantinib alone.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Symptomatic skeletal event (SSE)-free survival (FS)
SSE-FS distribution will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier by treatment arm. Comparison between the two arms will be performed using a one-sided log-rank test and one-sided p-value less than 0.025 will indicate that the experimental arm is superior to the control arm. SSE-FS will be censored at the date of last SSE assessment for those alive and SSE free. Hazard ratio (experimental over control arm) as well as two-sided 90% confidence interval (CI) for treatment will be estimated using the stratified Cox proportional hazard model with a single treatment covariate.
From the date of randomization to the date of the earliest occurrence of SSE or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Incidence of adverse events
Up to 5 years
SSE-FS
From randomization to the date of SSE or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 5 years
Progression-free survival
From randomization to time of radiographic progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
Overall survival
From randomization to the date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Time to first SSE
From randomization to the date of first SSE or death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Arm A (radium Ra 223 dichloride, cabozantinib s-malate)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive radium Ra 223 dichloride IV over 1 minute on day 1 of cycles 1-6 and cabozantinib S-malate PO QD on days 1-28 of every cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo blood and urine sample collection, bone scan, CT, or MRI, and may undergo FDG-PET or NaF-PET throughout the study.
Arm B (cabozantinib s-malate)
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients receive cabozantinib S-malate PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo blood and urine sample collection, bone scan, CT, or MRI, and may undergo FDG-PET or NaF-PET throughout the study.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Documented histologic or cytologic diagnosis of renal cell cancer (RCC). All subtypes of RCC are eligible including but not limited to clear cell, papillary, chromophobe, translocation, collecting duct carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and unclassified categories. Enrollment of non-clear cell patients will be limited to 20% of the total sample size (\~ 42 patients). Once this goal is met, accrual of non-clear cell patients will be discontinued (a notice will be sent out 2 weeks in advance). Sarcomatoid and rhabdoid differentiation are allowed
- Presence of at least 1 metastatic bone lesion not treated with prior radiation is required.
- The presence of bone metastases can be detected by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Tc-99m bone scan or positron emission tomography (PET) (fludeoxyglucose F-18 \[FDG\] or sodium fluoride \[NaF\]) imaging. Patients with non-measurable bone-only disease are allowed. Patients may have received prior radiation therapy for bone metastases or other external radiation \>= 7 days prior to registration, as long as they still have at least 1 metastatic bone lesion not treated with radiation. Patients with visceral metastases are allowed, as long as they have at least one untreated bone metastases
- No prior treatment with cabozantinib
- No treatment with any type of small molecular kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitors) within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of registration or receipt of any anti-cancer therapy (including investigational therapy, monoclonal antibodies, cytokine therapy) within 3 weeks of registration
- No prior hemibody external radiotherapy
- No prior therapy with radium-223 dichloride or systemic radiotherapy (such as samarium, strontium)
- No major surgery within 6 weeks of randomization. Procedures such as thoracentesis, paracentesis, percutaneous biopsy, Moh's or other topical skin surgery, Lasik eye surgery are not considered major surgery. Patients who have had a nephrectomy may be registered \>= 3 weeks after surgery, providing there are no wound-healing complications. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior surgery are not eligible
- Recovery to baseline or =\< grade 1 CTCAE version 5.0 from toxicity related to any prior treatment, unless adverse events are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy
- The use of osteoclast targeted therapy including either bisphosphonates or denosumab is mandated on this study except in patients with contraindications as determined by the treating investigator, including:
- Hypocalcemia
- Hypophosphatemia
- Renal impairment including those with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 35 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or acute renal impairment
- Hypersensitivity to drug formulation
- Dental condition or need for dental intervention that per the investigator would increase the risk of osteonecrosis of jaw (ONJ).
