Background: Sorafenib and lenvatinib are FDA-approved MKIs for locally recurrent or metastatic, progressive, DTC refractory to radioactive iodine treatment. Cabozantinib showed a survival benefit in radioiodine-refractory DTC previously treated with sorafenib and/or lenvatinib and was granted FDA approval. Our study aims to investigate the benefit of other MKIs in DTC beyond the first-line setting. Methods: DTC patients (pts) treated with multiple lines of MKIs from August 2018 to July 2022 at Mayo Clinic across all sites were identified. Electronic medical records were reviewed. 6-month, 12-month, and 18-month progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated for all lines of therapy using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Results: Among the 9 pts identified, 4 were male. The median age was 65 years (43-75). Most pts (60%) had papillary thyroid cancer. All pts received lenvatinib as first line treatment. The 6, 12 and 18-month PFS were 89%, 89%, and 55% respectively. 6 pts discontinued lenvatinib due to progression of disease (PD). 3 pts discontinued it due to adverse effects (AEs), which included hemoptysis (1 pt), severe rash (1 pt) and multiple psychiatric manifestations (1 pt). 8 pts received pazopanib, and 1 patient received cabozantinib with ipilimumab (1 dose) and nivolumab (6 months - discontinued due to myocarditis) as second-line therapy. Among them, 1 patient received pembrolizumab plus everolimus for 2 months before receiving pazopanib. The 6, 12 and 18-month PFS were 55%, 22%, and 11% respectively. All pts ceased treatment due to eventual PD, and there were no toxicity-related discontinuations. 5 pts subsequently received third-line MKIs, including cabozantinib (3 pts), pazopanib (1 pt), and lenvatinib (1 pt). The pt who received lenvatinib had discontinued it as first line therapy due to toxicity. The 2 pts treated with third-line cabozantinib and the pt rechallenged with lenvatinib showed no PD at 12-months and no toxicity related discontinuation. Conclusions: Pazopanib was associated with durable PFS and good tolerability when offered after PD or intolerance on lenvatinib in this retrospective analysis, warranting a randomized prospective study.
