NCT ID: NCT03565536 Completed - Clinical trials for Thyroid Cancer, Anaplastic

Nexavar for Neoadjuvant Treatment of Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Start date: May 1, 2018
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Undifferentiated thyroid cancer is the most malignant tumor of the thyroid gland, with a median survival of only 3 months. Most undifferentiated cancers lose the chance of surgery when they are first diagnosed. The current study, Nexavar, is used only for dedifferentiated thyroid cancer and has not been applied to undifferentiated cancer. This study attempted to apply it to preoperative treatment of undifferentiated cancer to see if it would shrink the tumor and give the patient an opportunity for surgery.

NCT ID: NCT03211117 Completed - Clinical trials for Thyroid Gland Undifferentiated (Anaplastic) Carcinoma

Pembrolizumab, Chemotherapy, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Surgery in Treating Patients With Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Start date: August 14, 2017
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy work with or without surgery in treating patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving pembrolizumab, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy with or without surgery may kill more tumor cells and work better in treating patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer.

NCT ID: NCT03122496 Completed - Clinical trials for Metastatic Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Immunotherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for Metastatic Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Start date: April 25, 2017
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of durvalumab (MEDI4736) and tremelimumab in combination with radiation therapy and find out what effects, if any, this combination has on people, and whether it improves overall survival.

NCT ID: NCT02862470 Completed - Thyroid Cancer Clinical Trials

Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer and Follicular Thyroid Cancer-derived Exosomal Analysis Via Treatment of Lovastatin and Vildagliptin and Pilot Prognostic Study Via Urine Exosomal Biological Markers in Thyroid Cancer Patients

Start date: August 5, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The investigators expected to enroll 30 patients with papillary, follicular or anaplastic thyroid cancer, and collect their urine samples before operation, immediately after operation, post-operative 3, 6 12 months. The investigators will analyze the urine exosomal proteins and probable biological markers. The investigators hope to find the prognostic biological markers via this prospective study. The investigators further hope to find newly therapeutic mechanism and medications for such patients with poorly-differentiated or anaplastic thyroid cancer.

NCT ID: NCT02726503 Completed - Clinical trials for Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Phase II Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Lenvatinib for Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

HOPE
Start date: April 4, 2016
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this phase Ⅱ study is to assess the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib for anaplastic thyroid cancer patients who are diagnosed as unresectable. The total duration of the study will be 30 months. All patients will start administration of lenvatinib within 1 week of enrollment and receive the study drug 24mg orally once daily at almost the same time. 1 cycle consists of 4 weeks. Treatment term starts on the day 1st of drug administration of cycle 1 and administration will be continued until patients meet withdrawal criteria. Safety and efficacy assesment will be conducted on a regular basis during the trial. Tumor evaluation will be conducted at 4weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks and at every 8 weeks after the 16th week since initial administration. When study drug administration terminated,tests of the drug termination will be conducted within 7 days of withdrawal and final observation will be conducted at 30 days after the last dose. Survival survey will be conducted at follow-up term. After the termination of the study drug, survival follow up survey will be conducted every 12 weeks unless patients withdraw enrollment of this study.

NCT ID: NCT02688608 Completed - Clinical trials for Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Pembrolizumab in Anaplastic/Undifferentiated Thyroid Cancer

Start date: October 2016
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study is being done because there are currently no approved and no commonly working targeted therapies in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). This is an area of urgent need for patients, not just for approved treatments but also rationally-designed clinical trials designed specifically for ATC. Patients diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer have a very high likelihood of dying because of their disease. As such there is a clear need for improving therapy for ATC.

NCT ID: NCT02404441 Completed - Melanoma Clinical Trials

Phase I/II Study of PDR001 in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

Start date: April 27, 2015
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this "first-in-human" study of PDR001 was to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and antitumor activity of PDR001 administered i.v. as a single agent to adult patients with solid tumors. By blocking the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, PDR001 inhibits the PD-1 immune checkpoint, resulting in activation of an antitumor immune response by activating effector T-cells and inhibiting regulatory T-cells.

NCT ID: NCT02244463 Completed - Thyroid Cancer Clinical Trials

A Phase I/II Study of MLN0128 in Metastatic Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer and Incurably Poorly Differentiated or Radioidodine Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Start date: July 2015
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This research study is a phase I/II study of MLN0128 in metastatic anaplastic thyroid cancer(ATC) and incurably poorly differentiated or radioidodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Due to changes in the manufacturing process which resulted in increased absorption of MLN0128 from capsules, a run-in phase I prior to the phase II of the study was needed. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved MLN0128 as a treatment for any disease. MLN0128 prevents tumor cells from dividing and growing by selectively and potently inhibiting a chemical, mTOR kinase, which regulates cell growth and survival. Patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer have been observed to sometimes carry genetic alterations in their tumor cells which may make the cancer more sensitive to inhibition by MLN0128. Given the activity with everolimus in RAI refractory thyroid cancer, subjects wth metastatic, incurable differentiated RAI refractory and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer were included.

NCT ID: NCT02152137 Completed - Clinical trials for Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Inolitazone Dihydrochloride and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Start date: September 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well inolitazone dihydrochloride (efatutazone dihydrochloride) and paclitaxel work in treating patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as efatutazone dihydrochloride and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

NCT ID: NCT01236547 Completed - Clinical trials for Thyroid Gland Anaplastic Carcinoma

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy and Paclitaxel With or Without Pazopanib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Start date: October 28, 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase II trial studies the side effects and how well intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and paclitaxel with or without pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy and paclitaxel are more effective when given with pazopanib hydrochloride in treating thyroid cancer.
