Measure
Cohort A (Iodine I-124 PET/CT, Trametinib, Iodine I-131)
Patients with RAS gene mutations undergo iodine I-124 PET/CT on day 5 of week 1. Beginning day 6, patients receive trametinib PO daily for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo second iodine I-124 PET/CT on week 5. If I-124 PET/CT shows enough iodine absorption, patients may receive iodine I-131 PO and continue receiving trametinib for another 2 days. If I-124 shows that the thyroid is not absorbing iodine, patients have the option to be assigned to Cohort C.

Cohort B (Iodine I-124 PET/CT, Trametinib, Iodine I-131)
Patients without BRAF/RAS gene mutations undergo iodine I-124 PET/CT on day 5 of week 1. Beginning day 6, patients receive trametinib PO daily for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo second iodine I-124 PET/CT on week 5. If I-124 PET/CT shows enough iodine absorption, patients may receive iodine I-131 PO and continue receiving trametinib for another 2 days.
