Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Dabrafenib 75 MG
Treatment: Drugs - Trametinib 2 MG

Experimental: BRAFv600E mutant radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer - Prior to commencing interventional treatment, participants will commence a low iodine diet and undergo thyroxine withdrawal and commence T3 replacement from day -27. On day -5 they will receive an oral dose of 124I (40MBq/1.08 mCi) with imaging at 24 hours (+/-6) post dose and a second imaging assessment within 120 hours.

Participants will receive Dabrafenib (oral, 150mg BD) and Trametinib (oral, 2mg OD) from day 1-30.

A second oral dose of I124 will be administered at day 24 followed by imaging at the same interval as baseline.

Participants achieving \>20Gy tumour uptake of I124 will be administered 6GBq (3.3Gy/GBq) 131I, I131 wb scan and SPECT/CT will be performed within 24 hours and at hospital discharge.

Participants who do not achieve \>20Gy tumour update of I-124 will move into follow up.

Follow up will occur every 12 weeks for 12 months.

Experimental: RAS mutant radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer - Prior to commencing interventional treatment, participants will commence a low iodine diet and undergo thyroxine withdrawal and commence T3 replacement from day -27. On day -5 they will receive an oral dose of 124I (40MBq/1.08 mCi) with imaging at 24 hours (+/-6) post dose and a second imaging assessment within 120 hours.

Participants will receive Trametinib (oral, 2mg OD) from day 1-30.

A second oral dose of I124 will be administered at day 24 followed by imaging at the same interval as baseline.

Participants achieving \>20Gy tumour uptake of I124 will be administered 6GBq (3.3Gy/GBq) 131I, I131 wb scan and SPECT/CT will be performed within 24 hours and at hospital discharge.

Participants who do not achieve \>20Gy tumour update of I-124 will move into follow up.

Follow up will occur every 12 weeks for 12 months.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Histologically-confirmed differentiated (including poorly differentiated) thyroid cancer that is either locally advanced or metastatic.
2. Age > 18 years.
3. Life expectancy > 12 weeks.
4. Documented radiological progression by RECIST 1.1 in last 12 months.

3. Platelets = 100 x 109/L
4. INR = 1.4
5. Serum Creatinine = 1.3 x ULN
6. Estimated Creatinine Clearance = 30 ml/min (by Cockcroft Gault Formula)
7. Serum ALT and AST = 2.5 x ULN

Summary
Brief summary
This prospective, multi-centre, open label, non-randomised phase II trial aims restore radioiodine sensitivity in patients with NRAS or BRAFV600E mutant refractory thyroid cancer.

Participants will be treated with Trametinib +/- Dabrafenib tyrosine kinase inhibitors for a period of 30 days, restoration of sensitivity will be monitored using 18F-FDG-PET \& I-124 PET imaging.
