Filter by:This pilot phase 2 study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of the Rechallenge concept in patients with BRAF-positive anaplastic thyroid cancer after progression on anti-BRAF therapy. Patients with BRAF-positive anaplastic thyroid cancer who were previously treated with dabrafenib and trametinib (with a clinical or objective response at the start of treatment) and later with tumor progression during anti-BRAF therapy and subsequent lines of chemotherapy are scheduled to undergo targeted therapy (repeated administration of dabrafenib and trametinib in standard doses) and evaluate the outcomes according to the primary and secondary endpoints.
SETHY is a prospective, multicohort, phase II, single-arm, non-randomized, non-blinded, investigator-initiated study of sacituzumab govitecan in patients with advanced or metastatic radioactive-iodine refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) or anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). The main hypothesis is that treatment with sacituzumab govitecan, a anti-Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP-2), could be an effective treatment option for patients with either differentiated and anaplastic thyroid neoplasms because TROP-2 is highly expressed at the membrane of DTC and ATC.
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is an almost invariable lethal cancer in humans. Most patients present with a rapid progressive mass in the neck with progressive complaints like dyspnoea, dysphagia or pain. The risk of suffocation is the main reason for rapid surgical intervention, but we know from literature that an oncological resection with clear margins is seldomly achieved. Some patients deteriorate that fast after surgery that radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy is not feasible anymore. Patients with BRAF-mutated ATC already have shown to benefit from targeted BRAF/MEK inhibition. This study aims to increase the number of patients that undergo a successful R0 tumor resection after neo-adjuvant BRAF/MEK inhibitor treatment.
Clinical trials can sometimes favor certain demographic groups. Additionally, there is limited research that delves into the factors that influence participation in clinical study, both positive and negative. The goal is to identify the obstacles and challenges that prevent participation in anaplastic thyroid cancer clinical research, as well as the reasons for withdrawal or discontinuation. Insights gained from this study will ultimately benefit those with anaplastic thyroid cancer who may be invited to participate in clinical research in the years to come.
The main aim of the study is to evaluate peri-operative surgical characteristics, operation extent, postoperative morbidity, and outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for advanced thyroid cancer in different European centers using the EUROCRINE® database.
This clinical trial is looking at a combination of drugs called vemurafenib and cobimetinib. Vemurafenib is approved as standard of care for adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Cobimetinib is approved as standard of care in combination with vemurafenib for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Cobimetinib and vemurafenib work in patients with these types of cancers which have certain changes in the cancer cells called BRAF V600 mutation-positive. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which are also BRAF V600 mutation-positive. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
This study is an open-label phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nivolumab plus Lenvatinib in patients with unresectable anaplastic thyroid cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor and anlotinib combined with multimodal radiotherapy for the second-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic anaplastic thyroid cancer.
This phase II trial tests whether vudalimab works to shrink tumors in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer or hurthle cell thyroid cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as vudalimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This is a single-arm, open-label trial designed to evaluate the activity of pembrolizumab therapy in anaplastic thyroid cancer in patients with no curative alternative therapy. Pembrolizumab (Keytruda-Merck) 200 mg, given IV every 3 weeks, until evidence of progression, intolerance of treatment, withdrawal of consent or death
