This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.
This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.
The researchers investigated the rate of biochemical remission in patients without radioactive iodine therapy compared to patients with low dose radioactive iodine treatment in differentiated thyroid cancer patients who underwent total thyroidectomy.
This phase II trial studies how well iodine I-131 works with or without selumetinib in treating patients with thyroid cancer that has returned (recurrent) or has spread from where it started to other places in the body (metastatic). Many thyroid cancers absorb iodine. Due to this, doctors often give radioactive iodine (iodine I-131) alone to treat thyroid cancer as part of standard practice. It is thought that the more thyroid tumors are able to absorb radioactive iodine, the more likely it is that the radioactive iodine will cause those tumors to shrink. Selumetinib may help radioactive iodine work better in patients whose tumors still absorb radioactive iodine. It is not yet known whether iodine I-131 is more effective with or without selumetinib in treating thyroid cancer.
This is a non-interventional, multi center post-authorization safety study that includes all patients diagnosed as Unresectable Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma (DTC) and treated with Sorafenib within a certain period. The investigator should have made the choice of treatment (NEXAVAR) according with the Japanese Package Insert prior to enrolling the patient in this study. The enrollment period is of 9 months. The observation period for each patient starts when the therapy with NEXAVAR is initiated. Patients will be followed for 9 months or until it is no longer possible (e.g. lost to follow-up); this will be considered the standard observation period. Those patients, to whom a total of 24 month follow up is possible, information on effectiveness including treatment duration and survival status of the patient and of keratoacanthoma and/or squamous cell cancer development will be collected.
It is generally estimated that 5 % of patients with thyroid cancer will develop distant metastases, and most of them had an advanced stage of the disease at presentation. Thirty per cent of them are resistant to radio iodine therapy and are called "refractory". Their long term survival is estimated to be less than 10 %. The objective of this study is to identify the factors associated with poor outcome in a cohort of patients with advanced thyroid cancer followed during 5 years. Anaplastic and medullary thyroid carcinomas were excluded.
This phase II trial studies how well trametinib works in increasing tumoral iodine incorporation in patients with thyroid cancer that has come back or spread to another place in the body. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may help make treatment with iodine I-131 more effective.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, a drug called vemurafenib, either alone or combined with another treatment called radioactive iodine, has on the patient and thyroid cancer. It is not known if vemurafenib works against thyroid cancer. This study will test in a small number of patients if it can be used with radioactive iodine to treat thyroid cancers. This type of study is called a pilot study. If the results are positive, a larger study with more patients may be done to further test this treatment.
This randomized phase II trial studies the effects, good and bad, of using everolimus along with sorafenib tosylate versus sorafenib tosylate alone in treating patients with advanced radioactive iodine refractory thyroid cancer. Sorafenib tosylate and everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The addition of everolimus to sorafenib tosylate may cause more shrinkage of thyroid cancer and may prevent it from growing but it could also cause more side effects than sorafenib tosylate alone. It is not yet known whether this treatment with sorafenib tosylate and everolimus is better, the same, or worse than sorafenib tosylate alone.
