Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial evaluates deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation signatures in diagnosing and managing thyroid nodules. The purpose of this research is to develop a new test for thyroid cancer. This test will use needle biopsies (small collections of tissue with a needle) from the thyroid to determine whether the participant has a malignant (cancer) or benign (not showing cancer) thyroid tumor. The information learned from this trial may help develop a more accurate test so that patients do not have unnecessary surgeries for nodules that are thought to be suspicious but are actually benign.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the effect of Diagnostic DNA Methylation Signatures (DDMS-2) results (positive predictive value [PPV], negative predictive value [NPV], sensitivity and specificity) on physician decision-making for clinical management of 800 indeterminate thyroid nodules. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine sensitivity and specificity, PPV, NPV of DDMS-2 with 1450 needle biopsies including 800 needle biopsies with indeterminate cytopathology. II. Compare the diagnostic accuracy between DDMS-2 and two currently used diagnostic approaches based on genetic alterations and gene expression within the same prospective cohort of 800 indeterminate needle biopsies. OUTLINE: Patients undergo needle biopsy for collection of tissue samples. Tissue samples are analyzed using DDMS-2. Patients' medical records are also reviewed. ;
