Could drug holidays improve thyroid cancer treatment?
Disease control CompletedThis study compares two ways of taking the drug pazopanib for people with advanced differentiated thyroid cancer that no longer responds to radioactive iodine. One group takes pazopanib continuously, while the other takes planned breaks and restarts the drug only if the cancer pr…

New hope for advanced thyroid cancer: drug shows tumor-shrinking promise
Disease control CompletedThis study tested the drug sunitinib (Sutent) in 71 people with advanced thyroid cancer that had spread or could not be removed by surgery. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors when standard treatments like radioactive iodine no longer work. Participants took sunit…

Can two drugs reboot radioiodine therapy for tough thyroid cancers?
Disease control CompletedThis early-phase trial tested two drugs, vemurafenib and copanlisib, in 8 people with advanced BRAF-mutant thyroid cancers that had stopped responding to radioiodine therapy. The goal was to see if the combination could make tumors sensitive to radioiodine again and to find the s…

New scan could Fine-Tune radiation for thyroid cancer patients
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested a special radioactive substance called 124-Iodine to see how much radiation each thyroid cancer spot in the body receives. The goal was to help doctors decide the right dose of standard treatment (131-Iodine) and avoid giving unnecessary radiation to patients wh…

Hidden cancer cells in lymph nodes may force second thyroid surgery in many patients
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 314 patients with small, early-stage papillary thyroid cancer who had surgery to remove half of the thyroid. During the operation, doctors checked nearby lymph nodes for hidden cancer spread. If cancer was found, the rest of the thyroid was removed in the sam…
