About this study
Official title: A Phase I Trial of the Alpha Particle-emitting Radiopharmaceutical, Af-001, in Patients With Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
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)
Read the detailed description
The Part Ia is a dose escalation part. The Part Ib is a parallel-group comparative study part based on the MTD determined in Part Ia, in which 10 patients each will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms, at the MTD for af-001 or the MTD-1 dose level. Patients will be randomly assigned by the enrollment system (allocated at a ratio of 1:1). Random assignment will be performed using the stratified permuted block method. The stratification factor will be the site(s) of metastases.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ph1a: DLT (Dose-limiting toxicity ) based on Japanese translation of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) version
DLT evaluation criteria:
- Grade ≥4* hematologic toxicity that persists for at least 7 days
- Febrile neutropenia regardless of duration
- Grade ≥3* thrombocytopenia associated with a bleeding tendency or that requires platelet transfusions
- Anemia that requires red blood cell transfusions
- Neutropenia associated with infection
- Grade ≥3* non-hematologic toxicity that persists for at least 7 days and does not improve with symptomatic treatment, with the following exceptions:
- Toxicities that can be controlled to Grade ≤2* with maximum supportive herapy
- Those due to the progression of the primary tumor
[*: Grades as defined in CTCAE v.5.0 (Japanese translation) JCOG version]
Measured: 4 weeks
Ph1b: Assessment of tumor reduction effect on MRI or CT scan images
Using the "Revised version of the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines version 1.1 (Japanese translation of JCOG version 1.0)" as a reference.
Measured: 24 weeks

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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)
Detailed description
The Part Ia is a dose escalation part. The Part Ib is a parallel-group comparative study part based on the MTD determined in Part Ia, in which 10 patients each will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms, at the MTD for af-001 or the MTD-1 dose level. Patients will be randomly assigned by the enrollment system (allocated at a ratio of 1:1). Random assignment will be performed using the stratified permuted block method.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Alpha Fusion Clinical Development (+81335185330, development@alpha-fusion.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Ph1a: DLT (Dose-limiting toxicity ) based on Japanese translation of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) version (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Dec 2025.
