150 adults patients with locally advanced or metastatic BRAFV600E mutation-positive, differentiated thyroid carcinoma who are refractory to radioactive iodine and have progressed following prior VEGFR targeted therapy will enter in the trial. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either dabrafenib plus trametinib or placebo. Patients will be stratified by number of prior VEGFR targeted therapy (1versus2) and prior lenvatinib treatment (yes versus no)

This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dabrafenib plus trametinib in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic BRAFV600E mutation-positive, differentiated thyroid cancer who are refractory to radioactive iodine and have progressed following prior VEGFR targeted therapy. After eligibility assessment, approximately 150 patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either dabrafenib plus trametinib or placebo. Patients will receive dabrafenib in combination with trametinib or placebo until disease progression as per RECIST 1.1 as determined by investigator and confirmed by BIRC or loss of clinical benefit as determined by investigator, death, unacceptable toxicity, pregnancy, withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up or early termination of the study by the sponsor. Patients randomized in the placebo arm and for whom progression as per RECIST 1.1 is confirmed by blinded independent review committee and who meet the criteria will be given the option to cross over to the open label combination drug dabrafenib plus trametinib

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Dabrafenib Plus Trametinib in Previously Treated Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic, Radio-active Iodine Refractory BRAFV600E Mutation-positive Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC)

Novartis is committed to sharing with qualified external researchers, access to patient-level data and supporting clinical documents from eligible studies. These requests are reviewed and approved by an independent review panel on the basis of scientific merit. All data provided is anonymized to respect the privacy of patients who have participated in the trial in line with applicable laws and regulations. This trial data availability is according to the criteria and process described on www.clinicalstudydatarequest.com.

Progression Free Survival is based on the blinded independent review committee assessment using RECIST 1.1

overall response rate is defined as the proportion of patients with best overall response of complete response or partial response assessed per blinded independent review committee using RECIST 1.1 criteria

Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death to any cause.

Duration of response only applies to patients whose best overall response is complete response or partial response according to RECIST 1.1 and based on blinded independent review committee.

Standard ophthalmic examination will by done by an ophthalmologist and optical coherence tomography conducted at mandated visit. Analysis using optical coherence tomography data will be done to assess the incidence, type and severity of ocular events
