Adaptive Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy in Treating Patients with Advanced Differentiated Thyroid Cancer or Medullary Thyroid Cancer

Trial Status: administratively complete

This phase II trial studies how well adaptive tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy works in treating patients with differentiated thyroid cancer or medullary thyroid cancer that has spread extensively to other anatomic sites or is no longer responding to treatment. Lenvatinib, sorafenib, cabozantinib, or vandetanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving tyrosine kinase inhibitors at certain time points may work better than continuous treatment.
