Study #2020-0570
Neoadjuvant/Adjuvant Treatment with Selpercatinib in RET-Altered Thyroid Cancers
MD Anderson Study Status
Not Accepting
Treatment Agent
Selpercatinib
Description
This phase II trial studies the effect of selpercatinib given before surgery in treating patients with thyroid cancer whose tumors have RET alterations (changes in the genetic material \[deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)\]). Selpercatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving selpercatinib before surgery may help shrink the tumors and help control the disease.
