An Open Label Phase II Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus for the Treatment of Metastatic, RAI-refractory, Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

This study will be a non-randomized pilot trial using Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus for the
treatment of metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer. Patients will be treated with
Sirolimus 4 mg, PO, days 1-28 as well as Cyclophosphamide 100 mg, PO, days 1-5 and 15-19.
Cycle length will be 28 days. Patients will be monitored closely for toxicity and undergo
imaging to evaluate efficacy once every 2 cycles.

not amenable to curative treatment; or the patient has documented refusal of curative
treatment

- Measurable disease (>10 mm) and have progression of disease based on RECIST criteria.

progressed since radiation.

assessed by treating physician.

- Age ≥ 18 years

- ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status 0-2

- Life expectance of ≥ 12 weeks

- 131I therapy not allowed within 24 weeks before entry (4 weeks if negative
post-treatment scan)

- Adequate organ and marrow function

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test
within 3 days prior to treatment

- Signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient (or legally
