A Study of Avutometinib and Defactinib in People With Thyroid Cancer

Phase II of Avutometinib (VS-6766) and Defactinib In RAF Dimer-Driven RAI-Refractory Differentiated and Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Patients


Sponsor

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Aug 16, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The researchers are doing this study to find out if the combination of avutometinib and defactinib is an effective treatment for RAF dimer-driven radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer or anaplastic thyroid cancer. The researchers will also test whether avutometinib and defactinib is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a combination of two targeted drugs — avutometinib and defactinib — in patients with thyroid cancer that has specific genetic changes driving tumor growth (RAF dimer-driven disease) and is no longer responding to standard treatments including radioactive iodine. **You may be eligible if:** - You are 18 or older - You have differentiated thyroid cancer (such as papillary or follicular) that is no longer responding to radioactive iodine (Cohort A), OR you have anaplastic thyroid cancer (Cohort B) - Your tumor has a specific genetic mutation (such as RAS, NF1, RET rearrangement, NTRK, ALK, or non-V600E BRAF alteration) - You have measurable disease on imaging - You are in good health (ECOG 0–1) **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You have had recent radioactive iodine or targeted therapy (within the required washout period) - You do not have the required genetic alteration - You are pregnant or nursing - Your disease doesn't meet the criteria for your specific cohort Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
