NCT ID NCT01947023
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested a combination of two targeted drugs, dabrafenib and lapatinib, in 23 people with advanced thyroid cancer that has a specific BRAF gene mutation and has stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal was to find the safest dose of lapatinib when given with dabrafenib, and to see how the drugs affect the tumor. This is not a cure, but aims to control the disease by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow.
