contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study
entry and for the duration of study participation. Childbearing potential will be
defined as women who have had menses within the past 12 months and who have not had a
tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy. Should a woman become

Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants must not receive prior anticancer therapy or radiation therapy within 2
weeks and must not undergo major surgery within 4 weeks prior to initiation of
treatment on protocol. Participants who are already on cabozantinib and have
progressive disease are allowed to transition to treatment with tumor treating fields
and cabozantinib. Participants in both cohorts who already started treatments as
standard of care (Cohort 1: Cabozantinib and Cohort 2: nab-paclitaxel and
Pembrolizumab) are allowed to start on protocol within the first 2-3 weeks of
treatment initiation. Palliative radiation therapy is allowed.
- Participants must have recovered to Grade 0-1 toxicity from prior therapy.

metastasis must have stable disease, evidenced by brain imaging for at least 4 weeks
and the patient must have been off steroids for at least 2 weeks.
- The patient has cardiac conditions as follows: uncontrolled: hypertension (blood
pressure [BP] > 160/100) despite optimal therapy, uncontrolled angina, ventricular
arrhythmias, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class II or above),
prior or current cardiomyopathy, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation with heart rate >
100 beats per minute (bpm), unstable ischemic heart disease (myocardial infarction
within 6 months prior to starting treatment or angina requiring use of nitrates more
than once weekly).
- The patient has concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease that could
compromise participation in the study (i.e., uncontrolled diabetes, severe infection
requiring active treatment, severe malnutrition, chronic severe liver or renal
disease).
- Concurrent malignancies are permitted if (A) they were previously treated, and all
treatment of that malignancy was completed at least 2 years before enrollment and no
evidence of disease exists, or (B) with agreement from the Principal Investigator
(PI), participants who have a concurrent malignancy that is clinically stable and does
not require tumor-directed treatment are eligible to participate if the risk of the
prior malignancy interfering with either safety or efficacy endpoints is very low, or
(C) with agreement from the PI, other malignancies may be permitted if the risk of the
prior malignancy interfering with either safety or efficacy end points is very low.
Adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or carcinoma in situ is allowed.
- The patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.
- History of hypersensitivity or contraindication to TTF.
- Implanted pacemaker, defibrillator or other electrical medical devices.
- The participant has a previously-identified allergy or hypersensitivity to
cabozantinib, nab-paclitaxel, or pembrolizumab, medical adhesives or hydrogel or the
patient has received prior cabozantinib and discontinued therapy due to unacceptable
toxicity.
- Any other condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, contraindicate the
patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance
with clinical study procedures.
- The patient is unable or unwilling to abide by the study protocol or cooperate fully
with the investigator or designee.
- CABOZANTINIB COHORT ONLY: The patient has experienced clinically-significant
hematemesis or hemoptysis of > 0.5 teaspoon of red blood, or other signs indicative of
pulmonary hemorrhage within 3 months before the first dose of study treatment.

ratio (PT/INR) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test results that are above (1.3X)
the laboratory upper limit of normal.

men or > 470 ms for women.
- CABOZANTINIB COHORT ONLY: The patient requires concomitant treatment, in therapeutic
doses, with anticoagulants such as warfarin or Coumadin-related agents, heparin,
thrombin or FXa inhibitors, and antiplatelet agents. Low-dose aspirin (= 81 mg/day),
