Efficacy of Organoid-Based Chemotherapy Drug Precision Screening to Guide Treatment for Thyroid Cancer

Официальное название

Precision Medicine Applied to Locally Advanced or Metastatic Poorly Differentiated or Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Using Tumor Derived Organoids and In-vitro Sensitivity Testing: a Phase 2, Single-center, Open-label, and Non-comparative Study

Обзор

The current study aims to explore the potential advantages of chemotherapy that is implemented based on drug sensitivity testing. This pertains to individuals with locally advanced or metastatic poorly differentiated or anaplastic thyroid cancer who have undergone conventional therapy in the past or unresectable patients .

Подробное описание

This research trial aims to determine the efficacy of organoid-guided chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic poorly differentiated or anaplastic thyroid cancer.

Currently, there are numerous clinical trials evaluating various molecularly targeted therapies for refractory, poorly differentiated thyroid cancer. Preoperative personalized targeted neoadjuvant therapy has been established as a critical approach in managing advanced thyroid cancer. However, clinical trials investigating personalized chemotherapy to guide the treatment of thyroid cancer remain scarce.

Tumor organoids represent a sophisticated three-dimensional pathological model that preserves the histological and molecular characteristics of the original tumor. These models can be utilized to assess the in vitro efficacy of multiple anticancer drugs. The investigators' objective is to validate the effectiveness and safety of selecting and processing chemotherapeutic agents through drug susceptibility testing, thereby ensuring pragmatic and precise treatment tailored to individual patients' needs.

The investigators will also investigate the variables affecting the effectiveness of chemotherapy that is guided by organoids. Additionally, side effects related to the medication are also studied.

Критерии участия

Критерии включения

• At least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent
• Cytologically confirmed thyroid neoplasm, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC)
• Patients defined as poorly differentiated iodine-refractory thyroid tumors with inoperable locally advanced disease or metastases. The primary tumor may or may not be removed, but the risk of aerodigestive compression or bleeding should be excluded.
• Evidence of extrathyroidal extension and/or locally invasive disease and deemed at risk for R2 resection by treating team on clinical and/or fiberoptic examination and/or radiographic evaluation in the primary or recurrent setting. Evidence of "at risk for R2 resection" includes:

• Vocal cord paralysis by fiberoptic examination
• Extrathyroid and/or extranodal extension on CT or MRI, including tracheal and/or laryngeal cartilage invasion, esophageal involvement, and/or involvement of perithyroid muscles (e.g. strap, sternocleidomastoid, inferior constrictor muscles) or bone involvement
• Extension into the mediastinum with visceral and/or vascular involvement
• Involvement of the carotid artery or other major vessel by 180 degrees or more (exclusive of complete encasement)
• Other factors that make the participant to be "at risk for R2 resection" may be allowed, after discussion with the study's principal investigator
• At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST v1.1
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 and no medical contraindication to surgery
• Surgical morbidity/complexity score of 1 to 4 (moderate, severe, very severe, or unresectable)
• The expected survival time was more than 2 months
• Adequate end-organ function (including bone marrow, coagulation, renal, liver and cardiac) 28 days prior to the study registration as defined below:

• leukocytes ≥3,000/mcL

• creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min per Cockcroft-Gault formulation
• normal serum potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels (may be receiving supplements). Grade 1 hypocalcemia (corrected serum calcium > 8) is acceptable
• Willing to undergo tumor biopsy prior to trial treatment, unless in the opinion of the treating physician, a biopsy is not feasible or safe. Subjects must be willing to ultimately undergo surgery if their tumor becomes surgically resectable
• Ability to comply with outpatient treatment, laboratory monitoring, and require clinic visits for the duration of study participation
• Willing and able to provide written informed consent signed by study patient (or legally acceptable representative if applicable)
