This is the first prospective trial evaluating the efficacy of alpha emitter Radium-223 in patients with bone metastases from radioactive iodine (RAI) refractory (RAIR) differentiated thyroid cancer.
RADTHYR is a multicenter, single-arm prospective Simon two-stage phase II trial (NCT02390934). The primary objective was to establish the efficacy of three administrations of 55 kBq/kg of Radium-223 by F-FDG PET/CT according to PERCIST criteria. Secondary objectives were to establish the efficacy of six administrations of Radium-223 by F-FDG PET/CT, Tc-HMDP bone scan and FNa PET/CT, clinical benefits, changes in serum bone markers, thyroglobulin levels, and safety.
Ten patients were enrolled between July 2015 and December 2017 (4 M; median age 74 years). Prior to Radium-223 administration, patients received a median RAI cumulative activity of 15 GBq (7.4-35.6), external radiation therapy (n = 9), bone surgery (n = 8), cimentoplasty (n = 5), and cryoablation (n = 2). F-FDG PET/CT showed stable disease (SD) in 4/10 and progressive disease (PD) in 6/10 cases after three administrations and SD in 4/10, PD in 5/10 cases, and 1/10 non-evaluable (NE) case after six administrations. After six injections, Tc-HMDP bone scan showed SD in 9 cases and was NE in 1 case; FNa PET/CT showed SD in 8 cases, partial response (PR) in 1 case, and was NE in 1 case. No significant clinical benefits were reported during the study. A skeletal event occurred in 6 patients (median time without skeletal event of 12.1 months). Seventy-seven adverse events were reported during treatment (7 of grade 3-4). Three patients developed an acute myeloid, a promyelocytic, and a chronic myeloid leukemia after the last Radium-223 administration considered as drug-related.
The trial was stopped after interim analysis for lack of response of bone metastases from RAIR thyroid cancer to Radium-223. Severe hematological toxicity was observed in patients heavily pretreated with RAI and external radiation.
NCT02390934. Registration date 18.03.2015.
这是第一项评估α发射体镭-223 治疗放射性碘(RAI)难治性(RAIR)分化型甲状腺癌骨转移患者疗效的前瞻性试验。
RADTHYR 是一项多中心、单臂前瞻性 Simon 两阶段 II 期试验(NCT02390934)。主要目的是根据 PERCIST 标准确定三次 55kBq/kg 镭-223 给药的疗效。次要目的是确定六次镭-223 给药的疗效,包括 F-FDG PET/CT、Tc-HMDP 骨扫描和 FNa PET/CT,临床获益,血清骨标志物、甲状腺球蛋白水平的变化,以及安全性。
2015 年 7 月至 2017 年 12 月期间,共纳入 10 名患者(4 名男性;中位年龄 74 岁)。在接受镭-223 治疗前,患者接受了中位 RAI 累积活度 15GBq(7.4-35.6),外照射治疗(n=9)、骨手术(n=8)、骨水泥成形术(n=5)和冷冻消融术(n=2)。三次给药后,F-FDG PET/CT 显示 4/10 例为疾病稳定(SD),6/10 例为疾病进展(PD);六次给药后,4/10 例为 SD,5/10 例为 PD,1/10 例为不可评估(NE)。六次注射后,Tc-HMDP 骨扫描显示 9 例为 SD,1 例为 NE;FNa PET/CT 显示 8 例为 SD,1 例为部分缓解(PR),1 例为 NE。研究期间未报告明显的临床获益。6 名患者发生骨骼事件(无骨骼事件的中位时间为 12.1 个月)。治疗期间共报告 77 例不良事件(3-4 级 7 例)。最后一次镭-223 给药后,3 名患者发生急性髓系白血病、早幼粒细胞白血病和慢性髓系白血病,认为与药物有关。
由于 RAI 难治性甲状腺癌骨转移对镭-223 无反应,试验在中期分析后停止。在 RAI 和外照射治疗的大量预处理患者中观察到严重的血液学毒性。
