Summary

Non-medullary thyroid carcinoma has a good prognosis in most patients. However, a small subset of patients nevertheless develop metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable disease which in some cases also becomes radioiodine refractory. In these patients treatment options are very limited. Earlier cell line and animal studies have shown that digoxin can reinduce radioiodine uptake in non-medullary thyroid cancer. This study serves as a proof of principle study to assess the possibility of digoxin to reinduce radioiodine uptake in adult humans with metastatic or locally advanced non-medullary radioiodine refractory thyroid carcinoma.

Conditions

  • Non-Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma

Interventions

DRUG

Digoxin tablet

Participants will be treated with digoxin tablets for 3 weeks. On the first they, participants will start with a starting dosage of 3x0.25mg with 6 hours between each administration. Thereafter they will continue with a dosage of 1x0.25mg. Participants aged \>70 years or with body weight \<55kg will initiate a starting dosage of 3x0.125mg with 6 hours between each administration. Thereafter they will continue with a dosage of 1x0.125mg. After one week the blood concentration of digoxin will be measured. According to this blood concentration, the dose of digoxin will be adjusted.
