NCT ID NCT07092514

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two doses of the drug lenvatinib (24 mg vs 10 mg daily) in 34 people with advanced thyroid cancer that no longer responds to radioactive iodine. The goal is to see if the lower dose causes fewer side effects while still controlling the cancer. Participants take the drug by mouth and are monitored for tumor response and treatment tolerability.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

lenvatinib (Lenvima)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a lower dose of lenvatinib is as effective but with fewer side effects, improving quality of life for patients with advanced thyroid cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The lower dose might be less effective at controlling the cancer.
