Targeted Therapy to Increase RAI Uptake in Metastatic DTC
Sponsor: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Summary
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a common type of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in children and represents the second most common cancer in adolescent females. Recently targeted drugs that block many of the genetic drivers of DTC have become available. While Investigators know that these drugs shrink DTC tumors in many cases, the impact on radioactive iodine (RAI) avidity has not been systematically studied.

Interventions
Whole body scan
Patients will receive oncogene-specific molecularly targeted therapy independently of this protocol either via commercial supply of an FDA approved agent, or as part of a separate therapeutic clinical trial/compassionate use protocol/single patient investigational new drug (IND). During screening, patients will undergo a baseline RAI-whole body scan (WBS) to assess RAI-avidity of their tumor per standard of care. Following approximately 28 days of targeted therapy, the WBS will be repeated to determine whether this therapy is associated with an increase in RAI-avidity of their tumor.
