Filter by:Locally advanced thyroid cancer has a wide range of surgery, large trauma and high local recurrence rate. It is one of the main causes of death in patients with thyroid cancer. Therefore, more effective treatments are urgently needed. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Surufatinib for Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer.
This window of opportunity trial is studying a checkpoint inhibitor agent to treat differentiated thyroid cancer in a neoadjuvant setting. A checkpoint inhibitor is a compound aimed at restoring tumor immunosurveillance. The name of this agent is pembrolizumab.
Lenvatinib is approved for the treatment of radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer. Despite gender can play a crucial role un in safety and efficacy of oncological product, little is know on gender difference in lenvatinb effacacy and safety in the context of radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer. The primary objective of the study is to assess safety and toxicity profile in male and female patients in terms of dose reduction. The secondary objectives are to assess sex and gender difference in: the number and the incidence of adverse events; response rate according to RECIST criteria 1.1; progression free survival, overall survival and duration of response.
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common form of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The traditional first line treatment for patients with advanced DTC after surgical resection is radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. However, less than a quarter of patients with lung metastases will achieve a complete response to RAI therapy, and this therapy carries the risk of pulmonary fibrosis and an increasingly recognized risk of secondary malignancies.
This is a Phase Ib clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AL2846 capsule in iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer that has failed previous TKI treatment. The trial is planned to enroll 20 subjects. The trial is a single-arm, multi-center, open label clinical study. Objective response rate (ORR) is the primary endpoint.
CABOTHYROID is a prospective, exploratory, biomarker-focused, phase II, single-arm, non-randomized, non-blinded, investigator-initiated study of cabozantinib in patients with previously treated advanced radioactive-iodine refractory
This is a multi-centre, randomised, non-inferiority, phase III study in patients with low risk differentiated thyroid cancer. Patients will be identified via oncology multidisciplinary team meetings. There will be two sources of patients in the trial, with the same histological diagnoses and prognosis (i.e. recurrence risk): - Group 1: Patients who have already had a HT for thyroid problems and are then subsequently diagnosed with low risk DTC will be randomised 1:1 to undergo surveillance only OR a second operation to remove the rest of their thyroid gland (two-stage total thyroidectomy). - Group 2: Patients diagnosed with low risk DTC using cytology (Thy5) but no surgery performed will be randomised 1:1 to have either a hemi-thyroidectomy OR a single-stage total thyroidectomy. The overall aim of the trial is to determine whether hemithyroidectomy is an acceptable and cost-effective surgical procedure compared to total thyroidectomy in low risk thyroid cancer. Overall, 456 patients will be recruited to the trial. Patients will be initially be followed up post-surgery then 12 monthly for 6 years.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the difference in thyroid uptake of a low dose radioactive iodine (10 MBq 123-I or 37 MBq 123-I) in athyreotic patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma before and after a low iodine diet (LID) of 7 days. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the difference in iodine uptake before and after a LID of 7 days? Uptake of a low dose of 123-iodine will be measured in participants before and after a low iodine diet of 7 days. Researchers will compare the uptake (%) before and after the LID.
Background: Despite a favorable prognosis, metastatic cervical lymph nodes (LN), are not uncommon among patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Current guidelines recommend that a suspicious cervical LN on neck ultrasound (US) should be investigated with fine needle aspiration biopsy for cytology (FNAC) and for thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement (FNA-Tg), using saline washout of the needle content. Since Tg is a protein produced exclusively by thyroid follicular cells, a positive FNA-Tg result establishes the diagnosis of metastatic DTC. Currently, following LN biopsy, a patient must wait days to weeks to receive results, that directly impacts the treatment plan. This delay may be solved by a point of care assay of the washout Tg (POC-Tg), drawn from a suspicious cervical LN. Another potential novel usage of POC-Tg is the evaluation of suspicious LN found during neck surgery for known or suspicious DTC. Here, the POC-Tg may save the time needed for the completion of 'frozen section'. The study product: POC-Tg is a lateral flow immunoassay for Tg, able to detect within minutes Tg at concentration equal to 5 ng/mL and above (the midrange of the accepted cut-off). Methods: The multi-center validation study will include 100 patients in the FNA clinic, and 150 LN (dissected from 50-150 patients) in the operating room (OR). Each LN will be evaluated using both the formal accepted method (in the FNA clinic, the combination of FNAC and FNA-Tg; and frozen section in the OR), and the novel POC-Tg. Clinical decisions will be made according to the formal evaluation only. In a retrospective analysis, the investigators will estimate the sensitivity and specificity of the POC-Tg and the formal accepted method against the reference ('gold') standard (cytology, histology and follow-up US in the FNA clinic setting, and final histology in the OR setting).
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a common type of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in children and represents the second most common cancer in adolescent females. Recently targeted drugs that block many of the genetic drivers of DTC have become available. While Investigators know that these drugs shrink DTC tumors in many cases, the impact on radioactive iodine (RAI) avidity has not been systematically studied.
