Real-world study of genetic types in advanced thyroid cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how different genetic types of advanced thyroid cancer respond to treatment in real-world settings. It may help doctors choose the best therapy for you based on your tumor’s genetic makeup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced thyroid cancer that cannot be removed by surgery, or it has come back or spread.
- Your specific type of thyroid cancer is one of these: radioiodine-refractory, not suitable for iodine therapy, medullary, poorly differentiated, or anaplastic.
- You have already had genetic testing done on your tumor to look for cancer-related genes or treatment targets.

This trial tests whether giving targeted drugs before surgery can shrink advanced thyroid cancers that are hard to remove. It uses genetic test results to match you to a specific treatment arm, aiming to make surgery safer and more successful.
This study tests whether giving treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) helps people with locally advanced thyroid cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor so surgery can be more successful.
This trial tests whether growing your tumor cells in a lab (as organoids) can help doctors pick the best drugs for advanced thyroid cancer that is hard to remove surgically. It's for people with different thyroid cancer types who have tumors growing outside the thyroid or into nearby areas.
This study tests a new combination of targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) compared to chemotherapy (cabozantinib) for people with a specific type of advanced thyroid cancer called BRAF-mutated differentiated thyroid cancer. The goal is to see which treatment works better.
This trial tests if an existing drug (used for other conditions) can help people with advanced thyroid cancer who have run out of treatment options. You'll get a new drug and be monitored to see if it shrinks your cancer or slows it down.
This study looks at the effectiveness of different targeted therapy medications for people with advanced thyroid cancer that is no longer responding to standard treatment. It may help doctors understand which treatment options work best.
