Scientists try drug duo to Re-Sensitize stubborn thyroid tumors

NCT ID NCT04462471

Summary

This early-stage study tested a combination of two drugs, vemurafenib and copanlisib, in patients with a specific type of advanced thyroid cancer that had stopped responding to standard radioactive iodine therapy. The main goals were to find the safest dose of the drug combination and to see if this pre-treatment could make the tumors sensitive to radioactive iodine again, potentially allowing patients to benefit from this standard treatment. The study involved 8 adults with BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer that was resistant to radioactive iodine.
