NCT ID NCT07287748

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new radioactive drug called Af-001 in people with advanced differentiated thyroid cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The study has two parts: first, to find the safest dose, and second, to see if multiple doses can shrink tumors. About 38 participants will be enrolled.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Af-001 (a radioactive drug that emits alpha particles)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 38 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The radioactive drug may cause serious side effects like low blood counts or infections.
