Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Selumetinib
Selumetinib plus Radioactive Iodine Therapy
 Drug: Selumetinib
3 capsules of 25 mg strength orally twice a day for approximately 5 weeks treatment period
Drug: Radioactive Iodine Therapy
A single oral radioactive iodine dose of 100 mCI(3.7 GBq) 131I (+/-10% at the time of administration)to be administered 30 days after randomization. Additionaly, Thyrogen (Recombinant human TSH) will be used to stimulate iodine uptake according to the manufacturer's recommendation(0.9 mg intramuscular injection once a day for the 2 days prior to the dose of radioactive iodine)
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo plus Radioactive Iodine Therapy
 Drug: Placebo
3 capsules ( to match Selumetinib capsules) orally twice a day for approximately 5 weeks treatment period
Drug: Radioactive Iodine Therapy
A single oral radioactive iodine dose of 100 mCI(3.7 GBq) 131I (+/-10% at the time of administration)to be administered 30 days after randomization. Additionaly, Thyrogen (Recombinant human TSH) will be used to stimulate iodine uptake according to the manufacturer's recommendation(0.9 mg intramuscular injection once a day for the 2 days prior to the dose of radioactive iodine)

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Complete remission rate in overall study population [ Time Frame: Measured at 18 months post radioactive iodine treatment ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Clinical remission rate in overall study population [ Time Frame: Measured at 18 months post radioactive iodine treatment ]
  2. Clinical remission rate in sub-group of patients with tumours known to be mutation positive for v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 or NRAS [ Time Frame: Measured at 18 months post radioactive iodine treatment ]
  3. Frequency of adverse events graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (CTCAE)" [ Time Frame: Measured throughout the study until 3 years post radioactive iodine treatment ]
  4. Selumetinib concentration profile over time [ Time Frame: In total 8 blood samples will be collected: 4 samples on pre defined time windows on Day1, and 4 samples on Day 29 or Day 30 ]
