Brief summary (registry, in English)

For FOSTER evolving study platform: To assess the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate of the cohort overalldifferent treatment sequences. For FOSTER-CabOS (first randomization) : To assess efficacy in terms of EFS of cabozantinib compared to best supportive care (BSC) as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy considering EFS improvement in one or both of the following datasets : - patients in complete remission (CR) at the end of first-line therapy (stratum-1), - the whole randomised dataset, including patients with residual persistent stable disease after first-line treatment (non-resectable primary tumour, or metastatic disease not be completely resected), i.e. strata 1 and 2.
