CUDC-907 Treatment in People With Metastatic and Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Thyroid Neoplasms, Poorly Differentiated and Undifferentiated Thyroid Cancer, Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

In brief

Background: The thyroid is a gland at the base of the throat. Thyroid cancer is a disease that people get when abnormal cells begin to grow in this gland. Researchers believe a new drug called CUDC-907 may be able to help people with thyroid cancer that has spread or has gotten worse. Objective: To see if CUDC-907 will shrink tumors in people with advanced thyroid cancer. Eligibility: People at least 18 years old who have been diagnosed with locally advanced and metastatic thyroid cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Electrocardiogram (ECG) heart test. Review of their symptoms and how they perform normal activities A scan will be performed. Some will have a computed tomographic scan (CT) that takes pictures of the body using a small amount of radiation. Some will have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that uses a magnetic field to take pictures. Bone scan (some participants) Fludeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scan to produce a tumor image. A sample of their tumor from a previous surgery. They may have a biopsy of their tumor if a tumor sample is not available from a previous surgery. Participants will be given CUDC-907 in tablet form. They will take it by mouth once a day for 5 days, then take 2 days off, each week. While taking the study drug, participants will have study visits that repeat the screening tests. After they stop treatment, participants will have 3 follow-up visits over a year. They will repeat some tests. Then participants will be contacted by phone or e-mail every 6 months....

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 99. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may not qualify if…

• Systemic anticancer therapy within 4 weeks of study entry, except for subjects with anaplastic/undifferentiated thyroid cancer who may be enrolled immediately after discontinuation of previous therapy.
• Other investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to study treatment except for subjects with anaplastic/undifferentiated thyroid cancer who may be enrolled immediately of discontinuation of previous therapy.
• Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the potential risk of teratogenic or abortifacient effects of CUDC-907 is unknown. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with CUDC-907, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with CUDC-907. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.
• Diabetes mellitus that is not controlled with medication.
• Serious infection requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy within 14 days prior to study treatment.
• Evidence of central nervous system metastasis.
• Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or atrial fibrillation (AFib) within 6 months prior to study treatment, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or greater congestive heart failure, serious arrhythmias requiring medication for treatment, clinically significant pericardial disease, cardiac amyloidosis, or corrected QT interval (QTc) with Fridericia's (QTcF) correction that is unmeasurable or greater than or equal to 480 msec on screening electrocardiogram (ECG). (Note: for QTcF greater than or equal to 480 sec on the screening ECG, the ECG may be repeated twice at least 24 hours apart; the mean QTcF from the three screening ECGs must be < 480 msec in order to meet eligibility for trial participation).
• Gastrointestinal disease or disorder that could interfere with the swallowing, oral absorption, or tolerance of CUDC-907. This includes uncontrolled diarrhea (> 1 watery stool/day), major abdominal surgery, significant bowel obstruction and/or gastrointestinal diseases that could alter the assessment of pharmacokinetics or safety, including but not limited to: irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and hemorrhagic coloproctitis.
• Unstable or clinically significant concurrent medical condition that would, in the opinion of the investigator, jeopardize the safety of a subject and/or compliance with the protocol.
• Second primary malignancy within 2 years of study entry other than adequately treated non-melanoma skin or superficial bladder cancer, curatively treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or other curatively treated solid tumor deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence.
