Currently ongoing clinical trials of redifferentiation strategy for radioiodine refractoriness in differentiated thyroid cancer

Identifier Target Drug Type of Study Enrolled Patients Primary Outcome Status
NCT02145143 BRAF Vemurafenib Pilot study, Single arm, Open label 12 (BRAF mutant, RAI-refractory thyroid cancers) *Duration of overall response Estimated study completion date: May, 2021
NCT04462471 BRAF, PI3K Vemurafenib+ Copanlisib Phase I, Single group assignment, Open label 22 (BRAF mutant, RAI-refractory thyroid cancers) MTD Estimated study completion date: June, 2022
NCT03244956 MEK, BRAF Trametinib or Dabrafenib Phase II, Parallel assignment, Open label 87 (one for patients with RAS mutation and one for patients with BRAFV600E mutation) ORR Estimated study completion date: December, 2022
NCT02152995 MEK Trametinib Phase II, Single arm, Open label 35 (RAS mutant or RAS/RAF wild-type, RAI-refractory recurrent and/or metastatic thyroid cancers) Proportion of patients alive following treatment with trametinib and 124I, PFS, ORR, Iodine incorporation Estimated primary completion date: June 30, 2021
ISRCTN17468602 MEK Selumetinib Phase II, Single arm, 80 (Differentiated thyroid cancer) PFS Closed (Overall trial end date: 18/01/2020)
NCT03469011 PDGFRα Imatinib Phase I, Sequential assignment, Open label 18 (Metastatic thyroid cancer) Restore iodine uptake Estimated study completion date: December 31, 2020

Abbreviations: MTD: maximum tolerated dose; ORR: objective response rate; PDGFRɑ: platelet-derived growth factor receptor-ɑ; PFS: progression-free survival; PI3K: phosphoinositide 3-kinase; RAI: radioactive iodine. * The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for complete response or partial response (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented.
