Neoadjuvant famitinib and camrelizumab, a new combined therapy allowing surgical resection of the primary site for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is considered the most lethal thyroid cancer, with an overall 5-year survival rate below 10%. The FDA approved a BRAF/MEK inhibitor combination for the treatment of patients with BRAF-mutated ATC. However, effective therapeutic options for patients with wild-type BRAF are lacking.. In our phase II study, patients having advanced/metastatic solid ATCs were treated with famitinib and camrelizumab, a combination therapy involving a multi-targeted kinase inhibitor and an anti-PD-1 antibody. We report a case of a patient with locally advanced unresectable ATC who underwent this combination therapy, allowing us to perform complete surgical resection followed by post-operative radiation therapy.. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the use of famitinib and camrelizumab as a neoadjuvant treatment for ATC with wild-type BRAF. Clinical trial for a novel neoadjuvant approach for ATC are currently open for enrollment.
