Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial evaluates Tunlametinib (MEK inhibitor) ± PD-1 in NRAS-mutant advanced thyroid cancer. Key Objectives: Assess efficacy (ORR by RECIST v1.1) Evaluate safety profiles Study Design: Single-arm, single-center 4 cohorts based on: * Histology (differentiated vs. poorly/undifferentiated) * Prior therapy status Treatment: * Cohorts 1-2: Tunlametinib monotherapy (12mg BID) * Cohorts 3-4: Tunlametinib + PD-1 (commercially available) Key Procedures: Screening: NRAS testing + full staging (CT/MRI/PET) Monitoring: q3-week labs, q9-week imaging Follow-up: 30-day safety visit + q3-month survival tracking Endpoints: Primary: ORR Secondary: Safety (CTCAE), PFS, DoR Unique Aspects: First study targeting NRAS in thyroid cancer with MEK+PD-1 Includes rare aggressive subtypes (poorly/undifferentiated)


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a targeted drug called tunlametinib in people with advanced thyroid cancer that has a specific NRAS gene mutation, to see if blocking this mutation pathway can shrink or control the cancer. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older with locally advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer confirmed by biopsy - Your tumor has an NRAS gene mutation confirmed by testing - Your cancer is iodine-refractory (radioactive iodine treatment no longer works), OR you have a type of thyroid cancer that doesn't absorb iodine (such as medullary or anaplastic thyroid cancer) - Surgery is no longer a curative option - Your organ function is adequate and you are in reasonably good health **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor does not have the NRAS mutation - You have received prior treatment specifically targeting RAS or MEK pathways - You have active brain metastases that are uncontrolled - You have uncontrolled heart conditions, active serious infections, or significant organ failure - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
