RECRUITINGPhase 1INTERVENTIONAL

A Phase I Trial of Af-001 in Patients With Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

A Phase I Trial of the Alpha Particle-emitting Radiopharmaceutical, Af-001, in Patients With Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

A Phase I Trial of Af-001 in Patients With Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (NCT07287748) is a Phase 1 interventional studying DTC - Differentiated Thyroid Cancer, sponsored by Alpha Fusion Inc.. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This trial consists of 2 parts, i.e., Part Ia and Ib. The Part Ia is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intravenous dose of af-001 in patients with radically unresectable, recurrent, metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma) refractory to or intolerant of standard-of-care therapy, who have received total thyroidectomy, and to determine the MTD (Maximum tolerated dose). Part Ib is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of af-001 mutiple doses to patients with radically unresectable, recurrent, metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma), who have received total thyroidectomy and are RAI naïve, randomized into two arms at the determined MTD or the MTD-1 dose level, and to determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D)

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For DTC - Differentiated Thyroid Cancer, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 38 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: \<Ia part\> - Patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma) after total thyroidectomy. - Patients with radically unresectable, recurrent, metastatic disease who are judged by the principal investigator or sub-investigator (hereinafter, "principal/sub-investigators") to be refractory to or intolerant of standard-of-care therapy. \<Ib part\> - Patients with radically unresectable, recurrent, metastatic disease who are RAI naive - Patients with measurable lesions. \<Ia/Ib part\> - Patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 to 2 and stable general condition. - Patients expected to survive for at least 6 additional months based on clinical symptoms and physical examination findings. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: \<Ia/Ib part\> - Patients who need to preserve fertility. - Females who are pregnant or may be pregnant, breastfeeding patients, or patients or their partners who cannot agree to appropriate contraception. - Patients with active multiple cancers (synchronous multiple cancers and ectopic double cancers with a disease-free period of \<=3 years). - Patients with uncontrolled active infections. - Patients who are positive for hepatitis B virus surface (HBs) antigen, hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies, or human weakened immune system virus (HIV) antibodies. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT07287748), the sponsor (Alpha Fusion Inc.), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?

Who can participate in NCT07287748?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT07287748?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
