Clinical Pearls:
- The DECISION trial was a placebo-controlled, randomized trial that tested the efficacy of sorafenib in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer that had progressed following radioactive iodine
- These patients were randomized 1:1 to either sorafenib or placebo
- The results showed that the progression-free survival in the sorafenib arm was significantly increased to 10.8 months compared to 5.8 months in the placebo arm
- This data is statistically significant with a hazard ratio of .587 and aPvalue of less than .0001
