Official Title: Adaptive Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy In Patients With Advanced Progressive Thyroid Cancer
Study ID: NCT03630120
Brief Summary: Participants will have been diagnosed with advanced progressive thyroid cancer and are about to start treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy (Lenvatinib or Sorafenib for differentiated thyroid cancer \[which includes papillary thyroid cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer\]; and Cabozantinib or Vandetanib for medullary thyroid cancer) through adaptive (intermittent) versus conventional (continuous) regimen.
Detailed Description: Population: Patients with advanced progressive 131I-refractory DTC or MTC will be enrolled to this study. Forty-five patients responding to TKI therapy (defined as 50% drop in tumor marker level within the first two months of treatment) will be randomized to receive TKI therapy either through adaptive (intermittent) or conventional (continuous) regimen.
