     • Bone lytic lesions, severe osteopenia or pathologic fractures.
   • Patients with a biopsy-proven plasmacytoma and either a serum or urine monoclonal protein will also be considered to have met the diagnostic criteria for multiple myeloma in the absence of clonal marrow plasmacytosis of ≥ 10%.
   • Patient with bone marrow plasma cells of ≥ 60% or serum free light chain ratio of ≥ 100 will also be considered to have met the diagnostic criteria for multiple myeloma.
2. Patients must have measurable disease, with at least one of the following:

3. Patients must have had at least 1, but not more than 4 prior lines of therapy for their disease, with lines of therapy separated by the presence of documented disease progression [induction + HD chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) + maintenance therapy constitutes 1 line, provided no progression]
4. Patients must have failed carfilzomib either as a single agent as the last form of therapy, or carfilzomib in combination with dexamethasone, carfilzomib in combination with revlimid and dexamethasone, carfilzomib in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone or carfilzomib in combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone. Patients have to have had very good tolerance to carfilzomib in the context of described regimens, with resolved prior toxicity to grade 1 or better, and no toxicities due to carfilzomib that required dose reductions to less than 27 mg/m².
5. Patients must have disease that has relapsed after carfilzomib therapy, with progressive disease being defined as an increase of 25% from the lowest response value in any one or more of the following:
   • Serum M-component (the absolute increase must be ≥0.5 g/dL) and/or

5. Chronic concomitant treatment with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, phenobarbital, and St. John's Wort) should be avoided because it may significantly decrease cabozantinib concentrations. If patients are taking any strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, alternate medications with no or minimal CYP3A4 inhibitors should be sought prior to trial enrollment.
6. Uncontrolled or ongoing/active infection, or patients with the following history: recent history of hemorrhage or hemoptysis; dehiscence or wound healing complications requiring medical intervention; severe hypertension that cannot be controlled (blood pressure of > 150 systolic or > 100 diastolic mm) with anti-hypertensive therapy within 7 days of first dose of therapy.

13. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including medical, psychiatric, cognitive or other conditions, psychiatric illness/social situations that would compromise the patient's ability to understand the patient information, to give informed consent, to comply with the study protocol or to complete the study or, in the judgment of the Principal Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for study participation.

14. The subject has experienced any of the following:

    • clinically-significant GI bleeding within 6 months before the first dose of study treatment;

    • GI disorders particularly those associated with a high risk of perforation or fistula formation including:
