About

Single intravenous administration of TAH-1005 is performed in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary cancer, follicular cancer) who cannot obtain therapeutic effect with standard treatment or who have difficulty in implementing and continuing standard treatment. The safety, pharmacokinetics, absorbed dose, and efficacy will be evaluated to determine the recommended dose for Phase II clinical trial.

Full description

Radioactive iodine (I-131) has long been used clinically for patients with metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer. However, some patients are refractory to repetitive I-131 treatment, despite the targeted regions showing sufficient iodine uptake. In such patients, beta-particle therapy using I-131 is inadequate and another strategy is needed using more effective radionuclide targeting the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS). Astatine (At-211) is receiving increasing attention as an alpha-emitter for targeted radionuclide therapy. At-211 is a halogen element with similar chemical properties to iodine. Alpha particles emitted from At-211 has higher linear energy transfer as compared to beta particles from I-131 and exert a better therapeutic effect by inducing DNA double strand breaks and free radical formation. Thus, targeted alpha therapy using At-211 is highly promising for the treatment of advanced differentiated thyroid cancer.

Inclusion criteria

1. Patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary cancer, follicular cancer) after total thyroidectomy who meet the following conditions (1) resistance to standard treatment or (2) difficulty in continuing standard treatment (1) Patients who are refractory to standard treatment such as 131I-NaI treatment Insufficient therapeutic effect after 3 or more 131I-NaI treatments. 131I-NaI treatment resistance and difficulty in performing or continuing tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment (2) Patients who have difficulty continuing standard treatment such as 131I-NaI treatment Ablation for residual thyroid or 131I-NaI treatment for relapsed / metastatic lesions has been performed, but relapsed / metastatic lesions were observed at the time of participation in this study, and 131I-NaI is the standard treatment. If it is difficult to continue treatment or if local radiation therapy (including addition) is not indicated (if it is not 131I-NaI treatment resistant, TKI treatment is not indicated).
2. Patients aged 18 years or older at the time of consent acquisition
3. Patients with stable general condition with PS (Performance status) of 0 to 2 in ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group)
4. Patients who can be expected to survive for 6 months or more, judging from clinical symptoms and medical examination findings
5. Patients with no or controlled brain metastases with symptoms
6. Patients with no clinically significant abnormal findings in electrocardiogram, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen saturation within 30 days before registration
7. Patients whose laboratory values within 30days before the enrollment are within the range specified in the protocol
8. Patients who thoroughly listened to the explanation of the clinical trial, agreed to the examination, visit during the observation period and follow-up survey, contraception during the clinical trial period, etc. according to the clinical trial protocol, and signed the consent document.

Exclusion criteria
