Dabrafenib, Trametinib, and IMRT in Treating Patients With BRAF Mutated Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

A Phase I Trial of Concurrent Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Dabrafenib/Trametinib in BRAF Mutated Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer


Sponsor

City of Hope Medical Center

Enrollment

6 participants

Start Date

Sep 14, 2020

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This trial studies how well dabrafenib, trametinib, and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) work together in treating patients with BRAF mutated anaplastic thyroid cancer. Dabrafenib and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving dabrafenib, trametinib, and IMRT together may kill more tumor cells.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests the combination of two targeted drugs — dabrafenib and trametinib — plus radiation therapy in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer (a rare, very aggressive thyroid cancer) that carries a specific genetic mutation called BRAF V600E or V600K. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer - Your tumor has a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation - Your general health level is adequate (ECOG less than 2) - Your blood counts (neutrophils, hemoglobin) meet minimum thresholds **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor does not have a BRAF mutation - Your blood counts are too low - Your overall health is too poor for treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
