THYROID CANCER

This study tests a radioactive drug called 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE in 18 adults with a rare thyroid cancer (Hurthle cell) that has spread and not responded to standard radioactive iodine treatment. The drug is designed to seek out and attach to cancer cells. Participants will receive …

This study compares two surgical approaches for unilateral thyroid cancer: a newer, scar-free endoscopic technique through the armpit versus standard open neck surgery. Researchers will track complications, recovery time, and patient satisfaction in 400 adults aged 18-70 with ear…

This early-phase trial tests a new radioactive drug, 177Lu-INN805, in 10 people with advanced solid tumors (like head & neck, lung, breast, or sarcoma) that haven't responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to find a safe dose and check for side effects. Researchers wi…

This phase II trial tests two drugs—anlotinib and benmelstobart—as a second-line treatment for people with advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer that has not responded to first-line therapy. The study will enroll 23 participants and measure how many see their tumor…

This study will enroll 40 people with high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer who need radioactive iodine therapy. After stopping their own thyroid hormones, participants will receive either standard levothyroxine alone or levothyroxine plus liothyronine. The goal is to see which…

This study compares two types of surgery for people with early-stage thyroid cancer located in the isthmus (the middle part of the thyroid). One group will have a smaller surgery called extended isthmusectomy, which removes only the tumor and nearby lymph nodes. The other group w…

This study tests a new imaging tracer called [18F]FAPI-74, which attaches to a protein found on cells in tumors and scarred or inflamed tissue. Researchers want to see if it can show these areas more clearly than current scans. About 770 adults with various cancers or non-cancer …

Many people with small thyroid cancers can choose between a less extensive surgery (lobectomy) or a more extensive one (total thyroidectomy), yet some pick the riskier option without clear reason. This study tests whether an electronic decision navigation tool — one that highligh…

This study tests whether an online educational tool called THRIVE, powered by artificial intelligence, can help people newly diagnosed with thyroid cancer feel less anxious and more confident about their treatment choices. Participants use the tool on their own device before meet…

This study tests whether a brief video can help people receiving radioiodine treatment for thyroid conditions feel less distressed and better manage side effects and safety rules. About 80 adults with hyperthyroidism or thyroid cancer will watch either a supportive video or a neu…

This study aims to improve how doctors predict and monitor thyroid cancer by combining genetic testing of tumors with protein analysis from urine samples. Researchers will follow 100 newly diagnosed thyroid cancer patients to see if these markers can detect early signs of recurre…

This large study will follow over 6,700 adults with obesity-related cancers (like breast, colorectal, or lung cancer) to track changes in their body fat and muscle using advanced imaging. The goal is to see how these changes relate to survival, cancer recurrence, and quality of l…
