Phase II Efficacy and Pharmacogenomic Study of Selumetinib (AZD6244; ARRY-142886) in Iodine-131 Refractory Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma with or without Follicular Elements

Abstract

Selumetinib was well tolerated but the study was negative with regard to the primary outcome. Secondary analyses suggest that future studies of selumetinib and other mitogen-activated protein (MAP)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK; MEK) inhibitors in IRPTC should consider BRAF V600E mutation status in the trial design based on differential trends in outcome.
