Filter by:This is a single arm, open-label, non-randomized and single-center phase II clinical study, to evaluate the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of Camrelizumab in combination with Apatinib in patients with Radioactive Iodine-refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (RAIR-DTC).
Progressive and metastatic thyroid cancer patients, who no longer respond to radioactive iodine (RAI), are currently treated with long term tyrosine kinase inhibitors to control tumor growth. The investigators will study the effect of short term oral anti-cancer drug combination, called dabrafenib (BRAF inhibitor) and trametinib (MEK inhibitor), in improving thyroid cancer RAI absorption that can potentially lead to tumor shrinkage response. To assess for suitability, participant's thyroid cancer tissue taken at the time of surgery will be tested for DNA changes, such as BRAFV600E, RAS, or MEK mutations. Based on experimental studies, the response to these medications could occur within 1 week of treatment. So in the study, the investigators will find out whether participant's cancer would respond to 1 week of treatment with these medications rather than the 1 month duration of treatment in previous re-differentiation clinical trials. After 1 week of treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib, iodine absorption I-124 PET-CT scan will predict if the cancer will respond to RAI. If iodine absorption is insufficient on the scan, treatment with dabrafenib and trametinib will be continued for a total of 4 weeks. Then iodine absorption response of participant's cancer will be assessed on I-124 PET-CT scan again. If the iodine absorption is good at 1 week or 4 weeks, the investigators will treat the participant with thyroid cancer using RAI. The 1-week treatment regime can potentially save cost, avoid drug toxicity with prolonged treatment, and prevent drug resistance that can occur with longer treatment period.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with abemaciclib in patients with anaplastic thyroid/undifferentiated thyroid
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a drug called PDR001, combined with either trametinib or dabrafenib, is a safe and effective treatment for thyroid cancer.
This pilot project will randomize a small sample of patients about to undergo surgery for their autoimmune, inflammatory thyroid disease, and determine if a short course of prednisone alters the inflammation of the gland and makes surgery less difficult. It will enroll 30 participants who will each be on study for up to 7 months.
The relationship between healthy eating index and maternal thyroid volume in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum is planned.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Toripalimab and Surufatinib for Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer.
Thyroid disease is a common endocrine disorder. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune disease that occurs on the oral mucosa in 1-2% of the general population.The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an association between thyroid disease and oral planus lichen in the population of our patients. In the last few years, a couple of studies have been published in the world literature that have studied the possible association of these diagnoses in different populations. Most of the results showed a higher prevalence of thyroid disease in the population of lichen patients, compared with patients without lichen, although some results are contradictory. Some authors believe that the onset of OLP precedes thyroid dysfunction. In the population of Croatian patients with lichen, no research has been done to study the possible connection between these two diseases. The obtained results could help clarify whether there is a connection between these two diagnoses in the population of our lichen patients and enable earlier detection of patients with thyroid hypofunction.
This study will evaluate the clinical response and safety of ultrasound guided percutaneous thermal ablation of lymph node metastases from thyroid carcinoma as an alternative to surgical treatment. The ablation of cervical lymph node metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinoma or medullary thyroid carcinoma will be directed to lesions larger than 0.8 cm, using ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA), laser ablation (LA) or cryoablation (Cryo) techniques, randomly assigned. Clinical and ultrasound monitoring will be carried out during 24 months, with examinations before the ablation procedure, immediately after including contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) when applicable, and B-mode, color Doppler and Shear-Wave elastography ultrasound follow up with 6, 12, and 24 months.
The study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Multiple Target Kinase Inhibitor(mTKI) Combined with Anti-Programmed Death-1(PD-1) Antibody in subjects with advanced thyroid cancer.
