Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed RAIR-DTC who have failed TKI treatment or refused standard therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non-FAP-positive lesions or those who have not failed prior treatments may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of 177Lu-LNC1004 Injection, a radiopharmaceutical targeting FAP, in patients with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) who have either failed first-line TKI treatments or declined standard therapies. The study is a prospective, single-arm, open-label trial that plans to enroll approximately 20 participants. Each subject will receive the injection intravenously every 6 weeks for up to 6 cycles, depending on their response and occurrence of adverse events. The trial aims to monitor disease progression and assess the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced thyroid cancer who have limited treatment choices.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in the context of RAIR-DTC, preliminary results in other FAP-positive solid tumors suggest potential efficacy.
