What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This phase II trial evaluates Tunlametinib (MEK inhibitor) ± PD-1 in NRAS-mutant advanced thyroid cancer.
Key Objectives:
Assess efficacy (ORR by RECIST v1.1) Evaluate safety profiles
Study Design:
Single-arm, single-center 4 cohorts based on:
* Histology (differentiated vs. poorly/undifferentiated)
* Prior therapy status
Treatment:
* Cohorts 1-2: Tunlametinib monotherapy (12mg BID)
* Cohorts 3-4: Tunlametinib + PD-1 (commercially available)
Key Procedures:
Screening: NRAS testing + full staging (CT/MRI/PET) Monitoring: q3-week labs, q9-week imaging Follow-up: 30-day safety visit + q3-month survival tracking
Endpoints:
Primary: ORR Secondary: Safety (CTCAE), PFS, DoR
Unique Aspects:
First study targeting NRAS in thyroid cancer with MEK+PD-1 Includes rare aggressive subtypes (poorly/undifferentiated)

1. Iodine refractory thyroid cancer;
2. Differentiated thyroid cancer not suitable for iodine therapy;
3. High grade, poorly differentiated or poorly differentiated thyroid cancer;
4. Undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma;
4. Have undergone NGS testing (at our hospital or an external hospital), and be able to find that the test report or medical history has recorded a positive result for NRAS mutation in the gene test.
5. ECOG score 0-2 points; According to RECIST v1.1 evaluation, there is at least one assessable lesion;
7\. Expected survival\>12 weeks; 8. The main organ function and bone marrow function are normal.

* Coagulation function: International normalized ratio of prothrombin time (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; 9. Women of childbearing age must undergo a pregnancy test (serum or urine) with a negative result within 14 days before enrollment, and voluntarily use appropriate contraception methods during the observation period and within 3 months after the last administration of the study drug; For males, surgical sterilization or consent to use appropriate contraception methods during the observation period and within 3 months after the last administration of the study drug should be used.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Within 4 weeks before the first medication, major surgery (excluding biopsy and outpatient minor surgery, such as placement of vascular access) or severe trauma occurred;
2. There are clinical symptoms of third interstitial fluid accumulation that cannot be controlled by drainage or other methods (such as a large amount of pleural fluid or ascites);
