Scientists test new drug duo against tough thyroid cancers

NCT ID NCT01947023

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety and best dose of a two-drug combination (dabrafenib and lapatinib) for adults with advanced thyroid cancer that has a specific genetic change (BRAF mutation) and has stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal is to see how much of the drug lapatinib can be safely given alongside dabrafenib. Researchers will also check if the treatment shows any signs of shrinking tumors.
