Adults with aggressive and symptomatic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease

  • Additional benefit is not proven for the treatment of adults with aggressive and symptomatic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic disease.
  • The results of study D4200C00104 alone are not suitable for assessing the additional benefit of vandetanib, as they do not allow for a comparison with the appropriate comparator therapy.
  • Consequently, no data are available for assessing the additional benefit of vandetanib compared with the appropriate comparator therapy.
