NCT00559949

Brief Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well selumetinib works in treating patients with papillary thyroid cancer that did not respond to radioactive iodine. Selumetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR: Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. A conservative estimate of the response rate of the best-studied agent in this disease, doxorubicin, is approximately 5%. Therefore, investigators will assume that selumetinib (AZD6244, NSC 741078) would be worth further pursuit if the response rate (CR+PR) were at least 20%.

    Up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Up to 2 years

  • Occurrence of Treatment Related Adverse Events

    Up to 2 years

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Up to 2 years

Study Arms (1)

Arm I

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive oral selumetinib twice daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Other: Laboratory Biomarker AnalysisDrug: Selumetinib

Interventions

Correlative studies

Arm I

Selumetinib was administered orally as a free base suspension at a dose of 100 mg twice daily for 28-day cycles. Those participants experiencing Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 grade 3 toxicity or worse had their dose reduced to 50 mg twice daily and then to 50 mg once daily, if necessary.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed papillary thyroid cancer or papillary thyroid cancer with follicular elements
  • No longer amenable to radioactive iodine therapy or curative surgical resection
  • Tumor is no longer iodine avid
  • Tumor did not respond to the most recent radioactive iodine treatment
  • Patient is ineligible for further radioactive iodine therapy due to medical contraindications (e.g., lung toxicity)
  • Measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 20 mm with conventional techniques or as ≥ 10 mm with spiral CT scan
  • Evidence of disease progression (objective growth of existing tumors)
  • New or enlarging measurable lesions within the past 12 months
  • If the most recent imaging study is older than 12 months, patients will still be eligible if objectively measurable disease progression is associated with clinical symptoms
  • Archival tumor tissue available for mutational analysis
  • No known brain metastases
  • ECOG performance status (PS) 0-2 OR Karnofsky PS 60-100%
  • Life expectancy \> 12 weeks
  • WBC ≥ 3,000/µL
  • ANC ≥ 1,500/µL
  • +19 more criteria
