Summary

This trial is testing whether a new drug called cabozantinib is better than placebo at treating patients with a certain type of thyroid cancer that has progressed after other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with differentiated thyroid cancer that's gotten worse after treatment with specific drugs targeting blood vessel growth. They must have tried or be ineligible for Iodine-131 therapy, and can't have had more than two such prior treatments. Good physical health (ECOG 0 or 1) is required, and they shouldn't have received recent anticancer therapies or radiation, nor should they have certain brain metastases.
What is being tested?
The study tests Cabozantinib against a placebo in patients whose thyroid cancer has not responded to previous treatments aimed at blocking blood vessel growth. It aims to see if Cabozantinib can slow the disease's progression and improve response rates compared to no active treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Cabozantinib may cause high blood pressure, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue, nausea, mouth sores, hair color changes and hand-foot syndrome. Side effects vary by individual; some might experience few or none of these.
