Filter by:This phase IV trial studies the effect of radiofrequency ablation in treating patients with benign or low risk thyroid nodule. Radiofrequency ablation uses a needle to deliver a high-frequency electric current to kill tumor cells by heating them. The goal of this research study is to learn if ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation can provide the same treatment result as standard surgical removal of the thyroid nodule, small primary thyroid, or thyroid cancers that have come back. Researchers also want to learn if the procedure can be less invasive and perhaps provide a better recovery response than surgery.
This is a Phase 1b/2, multi-center, open label umbrella study of patients ≥12 years of age with recurrent, progressive, or refractory melanoma or other solid tumors with alterations in the key proteins of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, referred to as the MAPK pathway.
Now, the investigators carried out a prospective study enrolling patients with thyroid cancer, who had received ablative thyroidectomy and /or radioactive iodine therapy for two more years. The investigators' study already enrolled seventy-three patients with thyroid cancer, and the investigators plan to enroll 30 new patients in this consecutive research study. All patients received total thyroidectomy under clinically surgical judgement in initial therapeutic option. The investigators also further found some difference between papillary thyroid cancer and follicular thyroid cancer, and the investigators will continue annually to closely monitor the change of U-Ex Tg and urinary exosomal galectin-3 between differently cellular types of thyroid cancers.
This phase II trial studies the effect of selpercatinib given before surgery in treating patients with thyroid cancer whose tumors have RET alterations (changes in the genetic material [deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)]). Selpercatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving selpercatinib before surgery may help shrink the tumors and help control the disease.
This is an open-label, multicenter, multi-dose escalation and dose expansion study in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors (Part A) and advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer (Parts C & D) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CM-24 in combination with nivolumab. In Part C of the study gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel or Nal-IRI/5-FU/LV will be administered subsequent to CM24 and nivolumab. CM24, nivolumab and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel or Nal-IRI/5-FU/LV are administered intravenously.
BRAFV600E is the most frequent oncogene in Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). It correlates with greater extension, lymph node metastasis, and advanced stage. However, the prognostic value of BRAFV600Eis weak and the search of this mutation is not recommended in clinical management of thyroid cancer. PTC are characterized by intratumor heterogeneity with wild-type and BRAFV600E tumoral cells. In a previous study, the BRAFV600E/BRAFwild-type ratio correlated with patient age, tumor volume, lymph node metastasis and with worst disease outcome. While the existence of intratumor heterogeneity in PTC is supported by many evidences, its extension, biological significance and clinical utility is questioned and must be further investigated. Primary endpoint of the study is to determine the relationship between the percentage of BRAFV600E alleles and outcome in PTC patients. Secondary endpoints are to determine the mean and median BRAFV600E/BRAFwild-type allele ratio in heterogeneous tumors; determine the relationship between the percentage of BRAFV600E alleles and clinicopathological features. The study protocol entails the assessment by digital-droplet PCR the BRAFV600E/BRAFwild-type allele ratio in a series of PTC and its correlation with clinicopathology features and outcome.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib in participants with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than lung cancer.
This is a prospective, observational, multi-center study examining the long-term outcomes of patients with small, low risk papillary thyroid cancer who offered the choice of active surveillance (close follow-up to monitor for potential disease progression) or immediate surgery.
Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and to assisted the precision treatment. Methods:A total of 290 patients who underwent thyroidectomies or thyroid lobectomies from August 2015 to September 2020, following a diagnosis of Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) from preoperative thyroid FNA were investigated. Groups: In order to investigate the clinopathologic characteristics, the patients, were grouped according to Cytology,Gender, Tumor size.
This study aimed to identify the potential circulating biomarkers of protein, mRNAs, and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to differentiate the papillary thyroid cancers from benign thyroid tumors. Methods: The study population of 100 patients was classified into identification (10 patients with papillary thyroid cancers and 10 patients with benign thyroid tumors) and validation groups (45 patients with papillary thyroid cancers and 35 patients with benign thyroid tumors). The Sengenics Immunome Protein Array combined data mining approach using the Open Targets Platform was used to identify the putative protein biomarkers, and their expression validated using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Next-generation sequencing by Illumina HiSeq was used for the detection of dysregulated mRNAs and lncRNAs. The website Timer v2.0 helped identify the putative mRNA biomarkers, which were significantly over-expressed in papillary thyroid cancers than in adjacent normal thyroid tissue. The mRNA and lncRNAs biomarker expression was validated by a real-time polymerase chain reaction.
