Donafenib Combined With Anti-PD-1 Antibody for Neoadjuvant Therapy in Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer

NCT06787911 | Recruiting Phase 2

• 1 other identifier: DPM-DTC
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 14
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This study is a single-arm intervention study. Locally advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients receive neoadjuvant therapy with Donafenib and PD-1 antibody Sintilimab and those who can undergo surgery after neoadjuvant therapy receive surgical treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Donafenib combined with PD-1 antibody in neoadjuvant therapy of locally advanced thyroid cancer.

Conditions

Thyroid Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 80 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Voluntarily enroll and sign a written informed consent form;
• Age\>=18 years old,\<=80 years old, regardless of gender;
• Locally advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) diagnosed by pathological histology;
• Locally advanced DTC is defined as meeting at least one of the criteria: surgery is expected to be difficult to complete R0/R1 resection; AJCC defined T4 stage: any size of tumor infiltrating beyond the thyroid capsule to the subcutaneous soft tissue, throat, trachea, esophagus, recurrent laryngeal nerve, tumor invades the prevertebral fascia or surrounds the carotid or mediastinal vessels.
• Voluntarily undergo tumor biopsy/operation at enrollment and exit.
• Have not received any anti-tumor treatment in the past;
• According to the evaluation criteria for the efficacy of solid tumors (RECIST version 1.1), there should be at least one imaging measurable lesion. Lesions located within the radiation field of previous radiotherapy can be considered measurable if confirmed to have progressed;
• The physical condition (PS) score of the Eastern Cancer Collaborative Group (ECOG) is 0-2 points;
• Expected survival time\>3 months;
• Female patients with fertility (referring to those who have not undergone menopause or surgical sterilization) must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 7 days before the study drug administration;
• Female or male patients with fertility must take reliable contraceptive measures during the study drug use period and within 60 days after the last medication use;
• Normal function of major organs, i.e. meeting the following criteria: Blood routine examination (no blood transfusion or G-CSF used within 14 days prior to screening): a) Hemoglobin\>=90 g/L; b) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)\>=1.5 × 109/L; c) Platelet count\>=80 × 109/L; Blood biochemistry test (no albumin used within 14 days prior to screening): d) Total bilirubin\<=1.5 x Upper limit of normal value (ULN); e) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)\<=2.5 x ULN (ALT or AST\<=5 x ULN allowed for subjects with liver metastasis); f) Creatinine\<=1.5 x ULN; Coagulation function: g) International standardized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT)\<=1.5 x ULN; h) Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)\<=1.5 x ULN; Others: i) Urinary protein\<2+(if urinary protein\>=2+, 24-hour urine protein quantification can be performed, and 24-hour urine protein quantification\<1.0g can be included in the group).j)Myocardial enzyme profiles were within the normal range (simple laboratory abnormalities not clinically significant were also allowed to be included)

You may not qualify if:

• Other histological subtypes of thyroid cancer (such as undifferentiated carcinoma, myeloid carcinoma, lymphoma, or sarcoma) that are not associated with DTC;
• Patients who undergo thyroid cancer radical surgery again;
• Central nervous system metastasis and/or cancerous meningitis with clinical symptoms, and a history of leptomeningeal carcinoma;
• Within the first 5 years of randomization, cancer with a different primary site or histological type from thyroid cancer, or cancer coexisting with thyroid cancer but with a different primary site or histological type, except for cervical carcinoma in situ, treated basal cell carcinoma, and superficial bladder tumors (non-invasive tumors, carcinoma in situ, and tumor invasion of the lamina propria);
• Previous or current congenital or acquired immunodeficiency disease;
• Active or previously documented autoimmune disease or inflammatory disease (including but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, uveitis, Hypophysitis, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, asthma requiring bronchodilator treatment, etc.), patients with vitiligo or asthma that has been completely resolved in childhood, without any intervention in adulthood can be included;
• Have a history of severe mental illness in the past;
• Suffering from diseases that affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or clearance of investigational drugs (such as severe vomiting, chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, absorption disorders, etc.); Previous or concomitant medication/treatment:
• Has undergone major surgery (as defined by the researcher) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, or is expected to require major surgery during the study treatment period;
• Have received iodine-131 ablation or other local anti-tumor treatments within the past 3 months, or plan to undergo systemic anti-tumor treatment or external irradiation or other interventional treatments during the medication period of this study, including cytotoxic therapy, signal transduction inhibitors, immunotherapy (or have used mitomycin C within 6 weeks before receiving the investigational drug treatment). The use of levothyroxine for TSH inhibition and thyroid hormone supplementation therapy is not prohibited;
• Previously received organ or allogenic bone marrow transplantation;
• Previously received targeted therapy drugs targeting VEGF, including but not limited to anlotinib, apatinib, bevacizumab, etc;
• Previously received immune therapy drugs including but not limited to anti CTLA-4, anti PD-1, anti PD-L1, anti PD-L2, anti CD137. Therapeutic anti-tumor vaccines are not included;
• Systemic immunosuppressive drug treatment has been used within 2 weeks before enrollment, or systemic immunosuppressive drug treatment is expected to be required during the study period, except for the following cases:
