a. One or more measurable lesions that do not demonstrate iodine uptake on any radioiodine scan
b. One or more measurable lesions that has progressed by RECIST 1.1 within 12 months of 131I therapy, despite demonstration of radioiodine avidity at the time of that treatment by pre- or post-treatment scanning. These subjects must not be eligible for possible curative surgery.
c. Cumulative activity of 131I of >600 mCi or 22 GBq, with the last dose administered at least 6 months prior to study entry
5. Subjects may have received 0 or 1 prior VEGF / VEGFR-targeted therapy. Each of the VEGF/VEGFR targeted agents will be counted individually
6. Patients with known brain metastases who have completed whole brain radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery or complete surgical resection, will be eligible if they have remained clinically stable, asymptomatic and off of steroids for one month
7. Subjects must be receiving thyroxine suppression therapy and TSH should not be elevated. When tolerated by the subject, thyroxine dose should be changed to achieve TSH suppression and this dose can be changed concurrently upon starting E7080
8. All chemotherapy or radiation-related toxicities must have resolved to <Grade 2 severity, except alopecia and infertility
9. Subjects must have an ECOG Performance Status of 0−2

14. Adequate liver function: a. Bilirubin ≤1.5 × the ULN except for unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia or Gilbert’s syndrome b. Alkaline phosphatase, ALT and AST ≤3 × the ULN. If alkaline phosphatase is >3 × ULN (in absence of liver metastases) or >5 × ULN (in presence of liver metastases) AND the subject also is known to have bone metastases, the liver-specific alkaline phosphatase must be separated from the total and used to assess the liver function instead of total alkaline phosphatase
15. Males or females age ≥18 years
16. Females must not be lactating or pregnant at Screening or Baseline
17. All females will be considered to be of CBP unless they are postmenopausal or have been sterilized surgically at least 1 month before dosing
18. Females of CBP must not have had unprotected sexual intercourse within 30 days prior to study entry and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (e.g., total abstinence, an intrauterine device, a doublebarrier method, a contraceptive implant, an oral contraceptive, or have a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia) throughout the entire study period and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation. If currently abstinent, the subject must agree to use a double-barrier method as described above if she becomes sexually active during study or 30 days after study drug discontinuation. Females who are using hormonal contraceptives must have been on a stable dose of the same hormonal contraceptive product for at least 4 weeks prior to dosing and must continue to use the same contraceptive during the study and for 30 days after study drug discontinuation
19. Male subjects must have had a successful vasectomy or they and their female partners must meet the criteria above.
20. Voluntary agreement to provide informed consent and the willingness and ability to comply with all aspects of the protocol. |

|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary efficacy endpoints are ORR as determined by blinded IIR using RECIST 1.1 and Overall Survival (OS).
