New drug combo aims to Re-Sensitize tough thyroid cancers to standard treatment

NCT ID NCT02152995

Summary

This study is testing if adding an oral drug called trametinib can make radioactive iodine treatment work again for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has spread or come back and no longer responds to iodine. The goal is to see if trametinib helps the cancer absorb more iodine, potentially stopping or slowing its growth. The study enrolled 34 adults with specific genetic types of this hard-to-treat cancer.
