Lenvatinib and Iodine Therapy in Treating Patients With Radioactive Iodine-Sensitive Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

October 18, 2022 updated by: Taofeek K. Owonikoko, Emory University

A Phase 2 Study of Lenvatinib in Combination With Radioactive Iodine Therapy in Patients With Progressive RAI-Sensitive Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

This phase II trial studies how well lenvatinib works when given together with standard of care iodine I-131 in treating patients with radioactive iodine-sensitive differentiated thyroid cancer. Lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the efficacy of lenvatinib pretreatment along with radioactive iodine (RAI) in patients with previously treated RAI sensitive thyroid cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To demonstrate the safety of the combination of lenvatinib and RAI in patients with Iodine sensitive differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).

II. To assess dynamic changes in established serum based biomarkers of DTC (thyroglobulin [Tg] and Tg antibody).

III. To explore the utility of protein and genetic biomarkers to predict treatment efficacy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive lenvatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 8 weeks and up to 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unaccepted toxicity. Patients also receive iodine I-131 PO daily as standard of care.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up within 6 weeks, every 3 months for 1 year, and then periodically thereafter.

  • Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as ≥ 20 mm (≥ 2 cm) by chest x-ray or as ≥ 10 mm (≥ 1 cm) with computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have received RAI within 12 weeks of planned retreatment
  • Prior receipt of cumulative RAI doses in excess of 1000 mCi
  • Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1)
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
  • Patients with previously untreated and or symptomatic brain metastases are excluded from this clinical trial because of the risk of intracranial bleeding with angiogenic agents and tumoral swelling from RAI
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to lenvatinib
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (requirement for more than 2 blood pressure [BP] medications or grade 2 or higher BP elevation while on adequate doses of not more than 2 antihypertensive agents) are excluded from the study because one of the significant adverse events of lenvatinib is worsening hypertension

  • History of gastrointestinal perforation, abscess or fistula
  • History of and or medical condition (e.g. diverticular disease; aneurysm) that predisposes to risk of major hemorrhage
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because lenvatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with lenvatinib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with lenvatinib
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with lenvatinib

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time To Progression
Time Frame: Up to 2 years from when a participant started at baseline
The time-to-progression (TTP) will be the primary endpoint for study, and will be determined using all enrolled patients in accordance with the intention to treat (ITT) principle. The study is formulated to have power = 0.90 at the significance level of 0.05 to correctly detect that improvement in median time to progression from 6 moths to 12 months.
Up to 2 years from when a participant started at baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Best Objective Response
Time Frame: Up to 2 years from when a participant started at baseline

Objective response rate and disease control rate will be summarized. For the expansion cohorts, objective response rate will be presented along with 95% exact confidence intervals.

Patients will be assigned one of the following categories: complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease, non-evaluable, and disease control (CR + PR + SD). The same method of assessment and the same technique will be used to characterize each identified and reported lesion at baseline and during follow-up.
Up to 2 years from when a participant started at baseline
Change in Thyroglobulin Levels
Time Frame: Up to 2 years from when a participant started at baseline
Biochemical response will be assessed using suppressed and stimulated thyroglobulin. Thyroglobulin will be checked at baseline and post RAI every 3 months for 12 months and every 4-6 months thereafter as clinically indicated. Stimulated thyroglobulin obtained at baseline, prior to RAI, at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post RAI will be used to define biochemical response. Unstimualte Tg levels may be used if unable to obtain stimulated Tg
Up to 2 years from when a participant started at baseline
Change in Thyroglobulin Antibody Levels
Time Frame: Up to 2 years from when a participant started at baseline
Biochemical response will be assessed using suppressed and stimulated thyroglobulin antibody. Thyroglobulin antibody will be checked at baseline and post RAI every 3 months for 12 months and every 4-6 months thereafter as clinically indicated. Stimulated thyroglobulin obtained at baseline, prior to RAI, at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post RAI will be used to define biochemical response. Unstimualte Tg levels may be used if unable to obtain stimulated Tg
