Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary, follicular
and Hurthle cell)
- Poorly differentiated and other thyroid variants (e.g. insular, tall cell, etc.) are
eligible provided that the histology has no medullary differentiation nor anaplastic
features
- Progression within 14 months (RECIST [Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors]
should be used as a basis for the assessment of disease progression)
- RAI (radioactive iodine) refractory
Exclusion Criteria:
- Histologic subtypes of thyroid cancer other than differentiated (i.e. like anaplastic
and medullary carcinoma, lymphoma or sarcoma)
- Prior anti-cancer treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies
(licensed or investigational) that target VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) or
