Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, durvalumab, to see if it can help treat thyroid cancer. Durvalumab blocks a protein that can be present on tumor and normal cells, which may help the immune system fight the cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain types of thyroid cancer that has returned or spread, and who have at least one tumor visible on specific scans. They should be in good physical condition, able to follow the study's procedures including biopsies, and not have had certain recent treatments or conditions like severe allergies to durvalumab or Thyrogen, autoimmune diseases, lung inflammation history, organ transplants, uncontrolled illnesses or brain metastases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of a drug called durvalumab (which boosts the immune system by blocking PD-L1 protein) with radioiodine therapy stimulated by Thyrogen in patients with recurrent/metastatic thyroid cancers. The goal is to assess the effectiveness and safety of this combination treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Durvalumab may cause side effects such as immune-related reactions affecting different organs (like lungs causing pneumonitis), fatigue, skin rash and potential worsening of pre-existing autoimmune diseases. Radioiodine therapy can lead to dry mouth/throat issues due to salivary gland exposure and stomach discomfort.

Enrolled patients will be treated with durvalumab 1500 mg IV every 4 weeks. In Cycle 1/Week 3, Thyrogen 0.9 mg IM will be administered on two consecutive calendar days followed by 100 mCi (+/- 10 mCi) of RAI the next calendar day. Durvalumab will be continued every 4 weeks.
