A Phase I/II Trial of Sapanisertib in Advanced Anaplastic and Radioiodine Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Phase I/II nonrandomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Sapanisertib monotherapy did not meet the primary endpoint of this trial (proportion progression-free at 4 months) in ATC and did not show clinically meaningful activity. Clinical trials with alternative therapeutic strategies are needed.
