A Phase 2 interventional study of Selpercatinib and Sodium Iodine I-131 in Thyroid Cancer, Thyroid Carcinoma and Metastatic Thyroid Cancer, sponsored by Massachusetts General Hospital. Recruiting at 6 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 12 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-12.
Sponsored by Massachusetts General Hospital · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This research is being done to determine the efficacy of selpercatinib to restore radioactive iodine (I-131 NaI) uptake and allow for I-131 treatment in people with RET fusion-positive radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancer.
This research study involves the study drug selpercatinib in combination with standard of care treatments, I-131 and thyrotropin alfa (rhTSH).
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits.
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug to learn whether the drug works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied.
6,741 studies on the registry are indexed under Carcinoma; 1,161 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 45 across 5,170 interventional studies indexed under Carcinoma.

Participants ≥ 18 years of age must have measurable disease, per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
-- Participants 12 to \<18 years of age may enroll with either evaluable (i.e. anatomically visible tumor on cross sectional imaging, but tumors do not need to be >1 cm) or measurable disease per RECIST v1.1.
Participants must have RAI-refractory disease, as defined by:
Participants must be ≥18 years of age. Patients as young as 12 years of age will be allowed if permitted by local regulatory authorities and institutional review boards.
-- All patients of 12 to \< 18 years of age will be asked to provide assent and the legally designated representative will be asked to provide written consent.
Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below. Bloodwork must be collected within 7 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1:
Exclusion Criteria:
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits. * Participants will be treated with Selpercatinib for 4 weeks. * In the fourth week of treatment, participants will receive a therapeutic dose of I-131 NaI. * Those participants in whom radioiodine uptake has been restored may be offered a second 4-week course of selpercatinib plus I-131 NaI treatment
Drug: Selpercatinib · Drug: Sodium Iodine I-131 · Drug: rhTSH
Selpercatinib Oral, twice daily during initial treatment period (28 Days). A second course of selpercatinib if the participant is demonstrating clinical benefit to the initial course selpercatinib and deemed clinically appropriate by the treating investigator
Also known as: Retevmo
I-131 NaI, oral, is a standard treatment for all types of follicular-derived thyroid cancers, except anaplastic thyroid cancer
Also known as: I-131, I-131 NaI
RhTSH injection, dosage per protocol, timing per protocol during the initial treatment period per standard of care. Participants may receive a second course of rhTSH if the participant is demonstrating clinical benefit to the initial course rhTSH and deemed clinically appropriate by the treating investigator.
Also known as: thyrotropin alfa
Objective Response Rate
RECIST v1.1 or Nies criteria in adolescents without RECIST-measurable disease The primary endpoint is best overall response (ORR) (CR and PR) at 6 months. The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started).Complete Response (CR) Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters
Time frame: 6 Months
Number of Participants with Treatment Related Adverse Events as Assessed CTCAE v5.0
The safety profile of selpercatinib plus I-131 treatment in this patient population, will be evaluated by assessing by the incidence of treatment-related adverse events per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0
Time frame: up to 2 years
Rate of restoration of I-131 uptake
The estimated rate of restoration of I-131 uptake in patients with RAI-refractory RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer treated with selpercatinib will be estimated by determining the rate of positive whole body scans performed after I-131 administration.
Time frame: Initial Treatment Day 28, Re- Treatment Day 28 up 7 months
thyroglobulin biochemical response rate
The estimated best thyroglobulin biochemical response rates will be determined by comparing serial serum thyroglobulin levels taken every 3 months following treatment to that of the pretreatment baseline level in participants with measurable serum thyroglobulin. Best biochemical response is defined as follows: equals normalization of thyroglobulin level; partial response equals ≥50% decrease from baseline thyroglobulin; stable disease equals \<50% decrease or increase from baseline; and biochemical progression equals ≥50% increase from baseline (each maintained for at least 4 weeks).
Time frame: Initial Treatment Day 1, Day 21, 3 month follow up, 6 month follow up, Re- Treatment Day 1, follow up, up to 2 years
Progression Free Survival
Kaplan-Meier Method
Time frame: time from registration to the earlier of progression or death due to any cause up to 2 years
Overall Survival
Kaplan-Meier Method.
Time frame: time from registration to death due to any cause or censored at date last known alive up to 2 years
Time to subsequent systemic treatment
Kaplan-Meier Method Time to subsequent systemic treatment in patients with RET fusion-positive RAIrefractory thyroid cancer will also be estimated.
Time frame: 6 Months
Overall Response Rate-Adolescent
The structural, biochemical, and overall response rate perl \[19\] for adolescent patients who enroll without measurable disease will be reported descriptively for adolescents who enroll without RECIST measurable disease.
Time frame: 6 months
