Official title
An Open Label Phase II Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus for the Treatment of Metastatic, RAI-refractory, Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Overview
This study will be a non-randomized pilot trial using Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus for the treatment of metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer. Patients will be treated with Sirolimus 4 mg, PO, days 1-28 as well as Cyclophosphamide 100 mg, PO, days 1-5 and 15-19. Cycle length will be 28 days. Patients will be monitored closely for toxicity and undergo imaging to evaluate efficacy once every 2 cycles.
Interventions
- Drug Cyclophosphamide
Cyclophosphamide 100 mg, PO, days 1-5 and 15-19 - Drug Sirolimus
Sirolimus 4 mg, PO, days 1-28
Primary outcome measures
- Percentage of patients that respond to treatment [Time frame: Patients will be followed for response until progression or up to 2 Years]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- The number of patients that experience toxicity [Time frame: Patients are followed for toxicity up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug]
- Median overall survival time [Time frame: Patients will be followed until death or up to 2 years]
- Median progression free survival time [Time frame: Patients will be followed for response until progression or up to 2 Years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
