Based on the results of phase II and III studies with sorafenib in differentiated thyroid cancer and the lack of availability of registered tyrosine kinase inhibitors, vandetabin and cabozantinib in Hungary, we designed a uncontrolled, prospective efficacy and safety study of patients with metastatic MTC treated with first-line sorafenib in five Hungarian oncology centers.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\nMethods  Ten consecutive patients with progressive or symptomatic metastatic MTC were included and started sorafenib 400\u200a\u2009mg twice a day between June 2012 and March 2016. The primary end point was median progression-free survival (mPFS). Secondary endpoints included disease control rate, biochemical response, symptomatic response and toxicity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\nResults  Four patients achieved partial remission (40%) according to RECIST 1.1 evaluation. Five patients had stable disease beyond 12 months (50%) and one patient had progressive disease (10%). Median PFS was 19.1 months. The disease control rate was 90%. Association between radiologic response and biochemical or symptomatic response was inconsistent. Most common side effects were Grade 1-2 fatigue (60%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, rash\/dermatitis 50-50%, alopecia 40%.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\nConclusions  In our prospective case series in patients with MTC first-line sorafenib showed at least similar efficacy as in other small phase II trials and case reports. Based on comparable efficacy with registered tyrosine kinase inhibitors and it\u2019s manageable toxicity profile, we believe that sorafenib has role in the sequential treatment of MTC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-100378","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,5]],"date-time":"2018-03-05T23:43:45Z","timestamp":1520293425000},"page":"240-246","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["First Line Sorafenib Treatment for Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Efficacy and Safety Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"127","author":[{"given":"Judit","family":"Kocsis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c9va","family":"Szekanecz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Bassam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"P\u00e1ndy K\u00e1lm\u00e1n B\u00e9k\u00e9s County Hospital, Department of Oncology and Radiotherapy, Gyula, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Uhlyarik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Military Hospital Budapest, Department of Oncology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zsuzsanna","family":"P\u00e1pai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Military Hospital Budapest, Department of Oncology"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G\u00e1bor","family":"Rubovszky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemotherapy B and Clinical Pharmacology, National Institute of Oncology, Budapest Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emese","family":"Mez\u0151si","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ist Department of Internal Medicine, University of P\u00e9cs, P\u00e9cs, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K\u00e1roly","family":"Rucz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ist Department of Internal Medicine, University of P\u00e9cs, P\u00e9cs, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ildik\u00f3","family":"Garai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scanomed Kft, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Endre","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Iv\u00e1n","family":"Uray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zsolt","family":"Horv\u00e1th","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemotherapy B and Clinical Pharmacology, National Institute of Oncology, Budapest Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,5]]},"container-title":["Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology &amp; Diabetes"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0044-100378.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,4]],"date-time":"2019-04-04T22:37:31Z","timestamp":1554417451000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0044-100378"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"04","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,4]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0044-100378","relation":{},"ISSN":["0947-7349","1439-3646"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0947-7349","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-3646","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,5]]}}}
