We conducted a phase II study to assess the efficacy of continuous dosing of sunitinib in patients with FDG-PET avid, iodine refractory, well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) and medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), and to assess for early response per FDG-PET. Patients had metastatic, iodine-refractory WDTC or MTC with FDG-PET avid disease. Sunitinib was administered at 37.5 mg daily on a continuous basis. The primary end-point was response rate per RECIST criteria. Secondary end-points included toxicity, overall survival (OS), and time to progression (TTP). We conducted an exploratory analysis of FDG-PET response after 7 days of treatment. Thirty-five patients were enrolled (7 MTC;28 WDTC), and 33 patients were evaluable for disease response. The primary endpoint, objective response rate per RECIST criteria, was 11 patients, 31% (95% CI: 16% to 47%). There was one complete response (3%),10 partial responses (28%), and 16 patients (46%) with stable disease. Progressive disease was seen in 17% (6 patients). The median TTP is 12.8 months (95%CI, 8.9 months – not reached). Repeat FDG-PET was performed on 22 patients, the median percent change in average SUVs was −11.7%, −13.9%, and 8.6% for patients with RECIST response, stable, and progressive disease respectively. Differences between response categories were statistically significant (p=0.03). The most common toxicities seen included: fatigue (11%), neutropenia (34%), hand/foot syndrome (17%), diarrhea (17%), and leukopenia (31%). One patient on anticoagulation died of gastrointestinal bleeding. Continuous administration of sunitinib was effective in patients with iodine refractory WDTC and MTC. Further study is warranted.
