Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to determine the effect of combining everolimus and sorafenib in patients with metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer who progressed on sorafenib alone.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Drug: Everolimus Drug: Sorafenib Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this research study is to:

  1. Find out if sorafenib and everolimus prevent the growth of tumors that have grown when treated with sorafenib alone
  2. Find out how long one might benefit from treatment with sorafenib and everolimus
  3. Find out what side effects this drug may cause
  4. Measure the amount of sorafenib and everolimus in the blood and see if "markers" can be found to help understand who might benefit from sorafenib and everolimus.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To determine the efficacy of everolimus and sorafenib (progression free survival, objective response rate and stable disease) in patients with advanced differentiated thyroid cancer who have progressed on sorafenib alone. [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate the secondary endpoints of best response in patients receiving everolimus and sorafenib. [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]
  2. To perform correlative scientific studies to determine the relationship between clinical response to everolimus and sorafenib and multiple parameters including the mutational status of BRAF, N-RAS and other relevant cancer genes in the tumor. [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]
  3. To investigate the effectiveness of mTOR and Raf kinase inhibition in surrogate tissue and tumor samples. [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]
  4. To evaluate the activity of additional signaling pathways in surrogate tissue and tumor samples and explore their relevance to outcome measures. [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]
  5. To evaluate the secondary endpoints of time to disease progression in patients receiving everolimus and sorafenib. [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]
  6. To evaluate the secondary endpoints of duration of response in patients receiving everolimus and sorafenib. [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 89 Years   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of thyroid cancer, that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective.
  • All patients will have been required to have had sorafenib for entry and have had documented progression while on previous treatment with sorafenib.
  • Measurable disease defined as at least one malignant lesion that can be accurately measured on computerized tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
  • ECOG performance status < 2.
  • Life expectancy greater than 3 months.
  • Intellectual, emotional, and physical ability to comply with oral medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Restrictions regarding certain prior treatments will apply.
  • Significant medical disease including: uncontrolled congestive heart failure; active symptoms of coronary artery disease, uncontrolled seizure disorder; active infection; uncontrolled diabetes mellitus; requirement for chronic high dose corticosteroid treatment (Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are allowed); requirement for concurrent immunosuppressive drug(s); active autoimmune disease.
  • Organ allografts.
  • Known HIV-infection (HIV testing is not required for participation).
  • Pregnant or breast feeding. Women of childbearing potential and sexually active males must be advised to take precautions to prevent pregnancy during treatment
  • History of second cancer (except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ treated cervical cancer, colon cancer or melanoma, or any other cancer for which the patient has been disease-free for three or more years).
  • Known hypersensitivity to everolimus or other rapamycins (e.g., sirolimus, temsirolimus) or to its excipients
  • Use of any experimental therapy within 4 weeks prior to baseline evaluations done prior to enrollment (with the exception of sorafenib which may be continued until treatment start). Therefore, all experimental treatments other than sorafenib must be discontinued 4 weeks prior to baseline studies or enrollment.
  • Patients who did not previously tolerate sorafenib at 200 mg once daily are excluded from the study.
