New treatment option for Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Official title Larotrectinib to Enhance RAI Avidity in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05783323
What this study is testing
What is Larotrectinib monotherapy?
Larotrectinib monotherapy is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common form of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The traditional first line treatment for patients with advanced DTC after surgical resection is radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.

You likely can't join if
- No prior systemic therapy for thyroid cancer, including tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors. Note that prior 131I is permitted.
