In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Selumetinib for Recurrent Thyroid Gland Carcinoma and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 6 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
This phase II trial is studying how well selumetinib works in treating patients with papillary thyroid cancer that did not respond to radioactive iodine. Selumetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
