Clinical Trial Summary

Primary Objective:

To determine the efficacy (as assessed by progression-free survival [PFS]) of vandetanib when compared to placebo in participants with differentiated thyroid cancer that is either locally advanced or metastatic who are refractory or unsuitable for radioiodine therapy.

Secondary Objectives:

• To determine the efficacy of vandetanib when compared to placebo in this participant population as assessed by efficacy variables including duration of response (DOR), objective response rate (ORR), change in tumour size (TS) and overall survival (OS).

• To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vandetanib in this participant population and potentially investigate any influence of participant demography and pathophysiology on vandetanib PK.

• To demonstrate an improvement in time to worsening of pain (TWP) in participants treated with vandetanib when compared to placebo in this participant population.

• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of vandetanib treatment in this participant population.

Description:

Participants who were receiving vandetanib as randomized treatment will be allowed, upon re-consent, to continue on open-label vandetanib if in the opinion of the Investigator the participant is still receiving benefit. Placebo participants who experience disease progression within 60 days of unblinding may be offered the option of treatment with open-label vandetanib if, in the Investigator's opinion, such treatment may be of clinical benefit to the participant. Approximately 2 years; duration will vary depending on individual participant response.

(2) Serum bilirubin greater than 1.5 x ULN. This criterion does not apply to participants with known Gilbert's Disease. (3) Creatinine clearance <50 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula).

• Risk of prolonged interval between Q and T (QT) on an electrocardiogram (ECG) corrected for heart rate (QTc) as defined by: (1) Current therapy with any medication known to be associated with Torsades de pointes or potent inducers of cytochrome CYP3A4. (2) History of QT prolongation. (3) Congenital long QT syndrome. (4) QT interval corrected for heart rate by the Bazett's method (QTcB) correction unmeasurable or greater than 480 ms on screening ECG.

• Previous therapy with approved or investigational tyrosine kinase or anti- vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor inhibitors or targeted therapies (e.g. multi-targeted kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib, AMG-706, sunitinib, pazopanib, lenvatinib).

• RAI therapy within 12 weeks prior to first dose of study drug, and radiation therapy other than RAI, including external beam, if not completed prior to randomization.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	The PFS was defined as the time (in months) from randomization until the date of first documented disease progression or death (from any cause), whichever came first. Disease progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) was defined as: at least a 20% increase and absolute increase of 5 mm in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.	Randomization until disease progression or death, assessed every 12 weeks (up to 22 months)
