NCT ID NCT04061980

First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether a two-drug targeted therapy (encorafenib and binimetinib) works better with or without the immunotherapy drug nivolumab for people with a specific type of advanced thyroid cancer (BRAF V600 mutant) that has spread and no longer responds to standard radioactive iodine treatment. About 24 participants will receive either the two-drug combo alone or the two drugs plus nivolumab. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy improves tumor shrinkage and delays cancer growth.
