Genotype-guided MAPK inhibition was safe and resulted in successful redifferentiation in about one third of patients in each arm. Subsequent 131I therapy led to a thyroglobulin (Tg) decline in more than half of the treated patients. Low tumor glycolytic rate as assessed by FDG-PET is predictive of redifferentiation success.
