Could Pre-Surgery drugs shrink thyroid tumors and improve outcomes?

NCT ID NCT07419932

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

Summary

This study is testing whether giving targeted drugs before surgery can shrink tumors in people with locally advanced thyroid cancer. About 120 participants will receive one of several drug combinations based on their tumor's genetic profile. The goal is to see if this approach makes surgery easier and improves long-term results.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Multitarget Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (lenvatinib, anlotinib), BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and MEK inhibitor trametinib, RET Inhibitor (selpercatinib, pralsetinib)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that giving targeted drugs before surgery helps shrink advanced thyroid tumors, potentially leading to less extensive surgery and better long-term control.

What could go wrong

This is an early observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may not prove effectiveness. Side effects from the drugs could be serious, and not all patients may respond.
