Targeted Therapy Shows Benefit in Rare Type of Thyroid Cancer

Treatment with the multitargeted agent vandetanib (Caprelsa) improved progression-free survival in patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), according to findings from a randomized clinical trial. Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vandetanib for the treatment of patients with MTC based on initial findings from the phase III trial. MTC is a rare cancer, accounting for only 5 percent of all thyroid cancer cases, and radiation and chemotherapy have limited effects once the cancer progresses to an advanced stage.

Comparing Targeted Lung Cancer Therapies Based on KRAS Mutation Status

The anticancer drug erlotinib (Tarceva) is considered a standard therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has progressed after treatment with chemotherapy. Unfortunately, erlotinib has shown little benefit for NSCLC patients whose tumors have a mutated form of the gene KRAS; about 20 percent of NSCLC patients in the United States have tumors with KRAS mutations. Therefore, doctors are interested in finding other treatments that may help patients with KRAS-mutated NSCLC.
