Active clinical trials for "Thyroid Neoplasms"

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pralsetinib compared with SOC treatment (cabozantinib or vandetanib) for participants with RET (rearranged during transfection)-mutant MTC who have not previously received a SOC MultiKinase Inhibitor (MKI) therapy. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into one of two treatment arms: Arm A (pralsetinib) or Arm B (investigator's choice of either cabozantinib or vandetanib for adults and vandetanib for adolescents). Participants whose disease progresses during SOC treatment will be offered the option to cross over to receive pralsetinib after confirmation of progressive disease by blinded independent central review (BICR).

This phase I trial investigates the side effects of cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib and nivolumab may shrink or stabilize cancer in patients undergoing treatment for HIV.

This is a single arm, open-label, non-randomized and single-center phase II clinical study, to evaluate the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of Camrelizumab in combination with Apatinib in patients with Radioactive Iodine-refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (RAIR-DTC).

This phase II trial studies how well encorafenib and binimetinib given with or without nivolumab works in treating patients with BRAF V600 mutation positive thyroid cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and does not respond to radioiodine treatment (refractory). Encorafenib and binimetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body?s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The trial aims to find out if the combination of encorafenib and binimetinib, with and without study nivolumab, is a safe and effective way to treat metastatic radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer.

This research is being done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant lenvatinib on surgical outcomes of patients with invasive extrathyroidal differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). This research study involves a study drug called lenvatinib

This phase II trial studies how well lenvatinib and pembrolizumab work in treating patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer that is stage IVB and has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), or stage IVC that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Given lenvatinib and pembrolizumab may work better than giving either one alone in treating stage IVB or C anaplastic thyroid cancer.

Most patients with non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (TC) achieve remission after primary treatment. Nonetheless, 30% develop recurrent disease and/or distant metastases resulting in worse survival. Patients with low- and intermediate-risk, whilst having a good prognosis, generally undergo similar primary treatment as those with a high-risk disease and face the risk of complications and burden of treatment, without a proven benefit in long-term outcome. For these patients, current guidelines state that less aggressive treatment (e.g. hemi-thyroidectomy vs. total thyroidectomy, and selective use of radioiodine (RAI) therapy), and tailored follow-up can be equally acceptable leaving room for patients' preferences. For high- risk patients, important unanswered question regard the optimal timing of starting tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). For those who are asymptomatic or only mildly symptomatic, starting the treatment too early may expose them to side effects and impair quality of life, without evidence of a survival benefit. Different patients have different views on these decisions, and so do physicians. Therefore, care should honour preferences and values of individual patients, and care should involve patients through shared decision making (SDM). The principle of SDM is twofold: 1. physicians provide patients with information on the existing options, and 2. help patients identify their preferences considering their individual values and needs. This involves important life values, for instance the desire to do everything possible, or to minimise complaints. Addressing patients' treatment-related values is arguably the most difficult part of SDM so patient values are less likely to be discussed and honoured in a consultation. Current tools improve values deliberation but their effects are clearly insufficient. Tools should be integrated and applied in consultations to increase effectiveness. To strengthen values deliberation with TC as an example, a multifaceted intervention, COMBO, is proposed including 1) a patient values clarification exercise, named SDM-booster, 2) a physician values deliberation training using the SDM-booster, and 3) a patient decision aid. The SDM-booster strengthens values deliberation by 1) strengthening and clarifying patients' values and preferences, 2) communicating patients' values in the consultation, 3) serving as a focus in the values deliberation training.

This research study is studying a targeted therapy as a possible treatment for thyroid cancer. A targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific types of cancer cells with less harm to normal cells. - The name of the study intervention involved in this study is regorafenib.

Locally advanced thyroid cancer has a wide range of surgery, large trauma and high local recurrence rate. It is one of the main causes of death in patients with thyroid cancer. Therefore, more effective treatments are urgently needed. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Surufatinib for Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer.

This trial studies how well dabrafenib, trametinib, and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) work together in treating patients with BRAF mutated anaplastic thyroid cancer. Dabrafenib and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving dabrafenib, trametinib, and IMRT together may kill more tumor cells.
