Surgery Clinical Trial - The Safety & Feasibility of Transoral Endoscopic

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single center, prospective case series designed to assess the safety and feasibility of TOETVA in a small cohort of patients at University Health Network Toronto. Included patients will undergo a TOETVA-procedure in stead of the standard open surgical procedure.

Clinical Trial Description

Type of Study This is a single center, prospective case series Sample Size Since this is a feasibility study we will first include 15 patients. If we find the TOETVA a safe and feasible approach, we will perform the same study in more patients using the results of this study for a power size calculation. Study Population Patients (> 18 years) undergoing (para)thyroid surgery for the indication of a benign or indeterminate thyroid nodule, well differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma, well-controlled Grave's disease or a parathyroid adenoma. Study Design This is a single center, prospective case series designed to assess the safety and feasibility of TOETVA in a small cohort of patients at University Health Network Toronto. Included patients will undergo a TOETVA-procedure in stead of the standard open surgical procedure. Study Intervention The study intervention in this study is the TOETVA-procedure. This is an Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach. Primary Objective The study objective is to assess the safety and feasibility of this procedure in a small cohort of patients at University Health Network Toronto, Ontario. Endpoints of the study The main study endpoints consist of 1. Surgical Outcomes: rate of post-operative recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, rate of post-operative hypocalcemia, and rate of neck incision (conversion to open), oral infections, neck infection, hematoma, seroma, subcutaneous emphysema, gas-induced embolism, surgical time, and length of stay. 2. Quality of Life - EORTC Thyroid specific Health related quality of life These endpoints will be compared to historical age/indication controls for analysis. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
