Table 4 Immunotherapy trials addressing thyroid cancer

From: Novel targeted therapies and immunotherapy for advanced thyroid cancers

Immunological Target

Trial

Brief description

TAM

NCT01346358

CSF-1R antibody LY3022855 (also known as IMC-CS4) is tested in advanced solid tumors, including thyroid cancer

TAM

NCT01525602

Testing the effect of CSF-1R inhibitor (PLX3397) plus paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors, including thyroid cancer

Dendritic cells

NCT01856920

Testing GI-6207, a vaccine made from baker’s yeast, targeting the CEA in patients with MTC

Dendritic cells

NCT02239861

Testing specific adoptive cytotoxic T cells targeting several tumor antigens (NY-ESO-1, MAGEA4, PRAME, survivin, and SSX) in patients with advanced solid tumors, including thyroid cancer patients

T cells

NCT02054806

Testing Pembrolizumab effect as monotherapy in advanced solid tumor patients, including a cohort of thyroid cancer patients

TAM

NCT02452424

Testing CSF-1R inhibitor (PLX3397) plus PD-1 inhibitor (Pembrolizumab) against advanced melanoma and other solid tumors, including thyroid

TAM

NCT02718911

Testing another CSF-1R inhibitor (LY3022855) plus Tremelimumab or Durvalumab (PD-1 inhibitors) in solid tumors

 

NCT02614495

Open label - two cohorts - phase I, II trial assessing the role of Sulfatinib in advanced MTC and RAI-R DTC

T cells

NCT02501096

Phase IB/II trial, currently recruiting patients with solid tumors to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for Lenvatinib in combination with Pembrolizumab during phase IB of the trial. A subsequent expansion phase II trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combination

T cells

NCT01988896

Testing the effect of combining the PDL-1 inhibitor Atezolizumab, plus the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, Cobimetinib, in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

T cells

NCT01656642

Phase IB trial investigating PD-L1 antibody Atezolizumab plus mutant BRAF inhibitor Vemurafenib for patients with BRAFV600 mutation-positive metastatic melanoma (even though this trial has no thyroid patients, its results will help in designing future thyroid trials using such a combination based on pharmacodynamics and kinetics of this study)
