| Main Objective: The PRIMARY OBJECTIVE is to study the beneficial effects of Sorafenib in patients with non-medullary thyroid carcinoma with active tumor that does not accumulate RaI sufficiently on: · Reinduction of RaI uptake · Tumor progression ;Secondary Objective: The SECONDARY OBJECTIVE is to study the additional beneficial effects of RaI therapy with 6000 MBq 131I on tumor progression after reinduction of RaI uptake with Sorafenib. ;Primary end point(s): 1. Reinduction of RaI uptake by RaI scintigraphy: The appearance of one or more RaI accumulating lesions at RaI scintigraphy, planar images and/or SPECT (see below) 2. Serum thyroglobulin levels: The absence of progression: no statistically significant positive slope at linear regression of the log-transformed serum Tg levels, measured at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks after start of Sorafenib: a. Stable disease: The slope at linear regression of the log-transformed serum Tg levels, measured at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 weeks after start of Sorafenib is not significantly different from 0 ln ug/L*time OR b. Response: The slope at linear regression of the log-transformed serum Tg levels is negative (statistically significantly below 0 ln ug/L*time). 3. CT Imaging: The absence of progression according to RECIST criteria: a. Stable disease—neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter since the treatment started. b. Partial response—at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter; c. Complete response: the disappearance of all target lesions; | — |
