简要总结

RATIONALE: Thalidomide may stop the growth of thyroid cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness thalidomide in treating patients who have thyroid cancer.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the antitumor activity of thalidomide, in terms of tumor response and duration of response, in patients with metastatic follicular, papillary, or medullary thyroid carcinoma that is unresponsive to systemic radioiodine.
  • Compare the differences in antitumor activity of this drug in patients with medullary carcinomas vs those with papillary or follicular carcinomas.
  • Determine the toxic effects and duration of toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral thalidomide once daily for 2 weeks and then twice daily. Treatment continues for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.
