A Phase II Study of MLN0128 in Metastatic Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This research study is studying a targeted therapy (ML0N128) as a possible treatment for anaplastic thyroid cancer.
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved MLN0128 as a treatment for any disease.
MLN0128 prevents tumor cells from dividing and growing by selectively and potently inhibiting a chemical, mTOR kinase, which regulates cell growth and survival. Patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer have been observed to sometimes carry genetic alterations in their tumor cells which may make the cancer more sensitive to inhibition by MLN0128.
In this research study,the investigators are investigating usefulness of MLN0128 in metastatic anaplastic thyroid cancer cases.

Detailed Description
Patients who fulfill eligibility criteria will be entered into the trial to receive ML0N128. The participant will be given a study drug-dosing diary for each treatment cycle. After the screening procedures confirm participation in the research study.
- MLN0128 - Fixed doses daily per treatment cycle
The treatment cycles will continue until the participants disease gets worse or is taken off treatment for any other reason.Once treatment has been discontinued the investigators will check on the participants health status by phone for the rest of their life.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: MLN0128 Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. MLN0128 at fixed dose will be administered orally, daily for treatment cycle. The participant will be requested to maintain a medication diary of medication. The medication diary will be returned to clinic staff at the end of each cycle. Treatment with MLN0128 will continue until progression or withdrawal of consent. |
Drug: MLN0128
This is a non-randomized phase II study to investigate efficacy of MLN0128 in metastatic anaplastic thyroid cancer cases.
