Filter by:DBS (Dried blood spot) is the collection of a small volume of blood on paper cards and subsequent transport to an analytical laboratory. This method is widely used for newborn screening programs around the world to identify inborn errors of metabolism where early diagnosis and treatment can be lifesaving. The World Health Organization and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have independently endorsed DBS as an alternative to conventional testing methods due to its lessened invasiveness, lower collection and transport cost, reduction in sample storage needs, and for some analytes, improved sample stability. There are hundreds of publications describing DBS testing and some commercial ventures offering direct-to-consumer testing using DBS. However, it is not clear if there have been concerted efforts to develop DBS sampling for adults for home collection in concert with high quality, accredited central clinical laboratories. The proposal herein is focused on developing and validating DBS for at home and remote sample collections for routine diagnostic testing.
Prospective study carried out with ICESP (instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo) patients with thyroid disease with surgical indication
Increased fibroblast activation protein expression is positively correlated with the dedifferentiation and aggressiveness of thyroid cancer. Radiolabeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor therapy, also known as radioligand therapy has become a novel treatment for patients with radioactive iodine refractory thyroid cancer and disease progression after first-line treatment. However, a major problem in the therapeutic use of 177Lu-DOTA-FAPI has been its short half-life and fast rate of clearance. This study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose of a long-lasting radiolabeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor 177Lu-DOTA-EB-FAPI in mRAIR-TC patients with PD after TKIs treatment.
On the basis of previous studies, a validation cohort will be established to explore the relationship between oral lichen planus and autoimmune thyroid diseases, and a disease efficacy prediction strategy can be formed.
The purpose of this trail is to evaluate the performance of Genetron TERT/BRAF PCR Kit in Thyriod Cancer patients using real-time PCR method.
LASN01 is a novel, fully human antibody directed against the human IL-11 receptor that is being developed to address the fibro-inflammatory pathology of pulmonary fibrosis and TED. This study is a four-part trial consisting of Parts A, B, C and D. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LASN01, and the secondary objective is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of LASN01 in healthy participants and in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) or Thyroid Eye disease (TED). Please note that the Phase 1 (single and multiple ascending dose, SAD/MAD) portion in healthy subjects is completed and the Phase 2a portion in patients is actively recruiting.
Failure of conventional radioiodine therapy of metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer could be explained by: - a suboptimal therapeutic approach, based on the administration of empirically fixed amount of radioactivity - the presence of lesions with impaired iodine uptake, due to the expression of specific mutations The study aims to: - optimize therapy with pre-treatment 124-I blood and lesion dosimetry - collect genetic data to check if specific mutations and/or miRNA over-expression could be related to low iodine uptake or to radioresistance
Tumor-related inflammation is one of the hallmarks of cancers in general. Innate immunity specifically is a common denominator which is involved in the pathogenesis of both thyroid carcinoma and colon carcinoma. To improve the patient's outcome and identify novel therapeutic targets, one needs a deeper understanding of the tumor-induced changes in the bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells. Furthermore, treatment of these cells by nanoparticles or other agents that induce a program of 'trained immunity' may be a novel way to re-educate myeloid cells and their bone marrow progenitors in thyroid carcinoma patients. Lastly, the investigators expect that this approach could be effective also in other cancers of which colon carcinoma is here proposed as an additional model. The investigators hypothesize that by exposing myeloid cells or their progenitors to various agents that induce trained immunity (e.g. high-density-lipoprotein-methylene diphosphonate nanoparticles, recombinant and synthetic cytokines), these immune cells will undergo functional reprogramming to induce a tumor-suppressive phenotype. In the future, this could be explored as a novel immunotherapy for tumors that are refractory to conventional treatment.
Single intravenous administration of TAH-1005 is performed in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary cancer, follicular cancer) who cannot obtain therapeutic effect with standard treatment or who have difficulty in implementing and continuing standard treatment. The safety, pharmacokinetics, absorbed dose, and efficacy will be evaluated to determine the recommended dose for Phase II clinical trial.
Patients with small favorable malignant or indeterminate thyroid nodules will receive information about management of thyroid nodules. Participants will be asked to complete brief surveys at the time of enrollment, shortly after the consultation appointment with the surgeon, and a few months after either the consultation or the surgery, to assess their satisfaction with their decision and decision making process. All participants will receive routine care and counseling by their endocrinologist and surgeon.
