Filter by:This study is a randomized, double-blind, active controlled phase 3 trial in the patients with thyroid disease, who will undergo total thyroidectomy (excluding the patients with the patient with the past history of thyroid surgery). An eligible patient will be randomized and allocated to either the test group (Hyalobarrier) or active-comparator group (Guardix-SG). He/she will undergo marshmallow esophagography in detecting esophageal dysmotility at 6 weeks after study intervention and will be followed for 12weeks. During the study, both the patients and the observer for the primary and secondary efficacy evaluation will be masked. Non-inferiority of the test device (Hyalobarrier) compared to the reference device (Guardix-SG) will be confirmed using the primary efficacy outcome,the percentage of normal esophageal transit.
Recurrent laryngeal nerve dysfunction and hypoparathyroidism are well-recognized important complications of thyroid surgery. The duration of convalescence, after non complicated thyroid operation, may depend on several factors of which pain and fatigue are the most important. Nausea and vomiting occur mainly on the day of operation. Glucocorticoids are well known for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, immune modulating and antiemetic effects. The investigators therefore undertook the present study to investigate whether preoperative dexamethasone could improve surgical outcome in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
The objective of this study is to provide access to cabozantinib for eligible subjects with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) pending approval of Exelixis' New Drug Application (NDA) by the FDA and commercial availability of cabozantinib.
Aim 1 is to study prevalence and 1 year incidence of metabolic syndrome in major depressive disorder and factors correlation. Aim 2 is to study prevalence and 1 year incidence of thyroid dysfunction in major depressive disorder and factors correlation.
The purpose of this stage of study is to establish discriminant among healthy tissue, benign and malignant thyroid and breast tumors by fourier transform infrared spectrometry variables.
Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Vandetanib 300 mg/day in Japanese Patients with Unresectable Locally Advanced or Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma.
Background: - Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare cancer of the thyroid gland. In children and adults, it is often part of a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2 (MEN2). MEN2 is usually caused by a genetic mutation, and it can cause a number of problems in addition to MTC. These problems include adrenal gland tumors, hormone changes, and problems with the bones and other organs. Not much is known about how MTC develops over time, especially in people with MEN2. Researchers want to study MTC in children and adults and see how it affects their growth and development. Objectives: - To study how medullary thyroid cancer affects children and adults over time. Eligibility: - Children and adults who have medullary thyroid cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with a brief physical exam and medical history. Blood and tissue samples will be collected to see whether participants have the MEN2 genetic mutation. - Treatment will not be provided as part of this study. However, participants will be receiving standard care for MTC. They may be eligible for other clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health. - Participants will have regular study visits every 6 to 12 months to evaluate their MTC and any treatment. Blood tests, imaging studies, and other tests may be performed as needed to monitor the disease. - Participants and their parents/guardians will also complete questionnaires about their health and emotions during the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Leptin levels in females, in the setting of papillary thyroid cancer, benign thyroid nodules, and in normal females without thyroid disease.
Through this trial the investigators hope to learn if a drug, Actos (pioglitazone), is useful in treating a certain kind of metastatic thyroid cancer. Actos is approved by the FDA to treat diabetes. It has not been approved by the FDA to treat cancer, so its use in this study is considered experimental.
Percutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation (RTA) was reported as an effective tool for the management of thyroid nodules (TNs). This study aims to validate RTA as a valid approach for patients with compressive TNs for whom surgery is contraindicated or refused. Two groups of subjects with TNs (one group to treat with RTA and a matched untreated control group) will be evaluated in term of TN volume, thyroid hormones and clinical symptoms.
