NCT ID NCT07287176

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new device that uses electrical pulses to shrink benign (non-cancerous) thyroid nodules. About 100 adults with symptomatic nodules will receive the treatment and be followed to see if the nodule shrinks and symptoms improve. The goal is to offer a less invasive option than surgery.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant is willing and able to provide voluntary, written informed consent to participate in this study and from whom written informed consent has been obtained * Participants must be willing and able to comply with study procedures including all follow-up visits * Selected nodule is amenable to trans-isthmus approach * Nodule is confirmed as benign based on results from one or more of the following diagnostic tests: 1. (Bethesda II) on at least 2 ultrasound guided fine needle aspirations (FNA) or core needle biopsy (CNB); 2. A single benign diagnosis of FNA or CNB when the nodule has benign ultrasound features \[American College of Radiology (ACR) Thyroid Imaging Reporting \& Data System \[TI-RAD\] TR 1-3, American Thyroid Association \[ATA\] very low suspicion\]; 3. Candidate has a hyperfunctional nodule following 1 ultrasound guided FNA or CNB with or without molecular testing; or 4. Benign (Bethesda III or IV) with two biopsies in addition to molecular testing confirming benign diagnosis * Selected nodule is \<80.0 ml * Participant has normal vocal cord mobility by ultrasound evaluation * Participant has presence of compression symptoms, cosmetic concerns or anxiety for which participant requests treatment of the benign thyroid nodule * Participant has a solitary thyroid nodule or dominating nodule that is well-defined in multinodular goiter Exclusion Criteria: * Participant has an implantable electronic medical device. (i.e., pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator) * Participant has cystic nodules (\< 70% solid components) * Participant has calcified nodules * Participant is known to be immune compromised * Participant had previous neck irradiation * Participant has abnormal cervical lymph nodes present during screening visit examination * Participant has history of familial thyroid cancer in more than two first-degree relatives * Selected nodule previously treated with radiofrequency ablation or ethanol. This does not apply to nodules previously treated with nanosecond Pulsed Field Ablation (nsPFA) * Participants currently suffering from a hematological disease or bleeding tendency * Selected nodule likely to be in contact with the recurrent laryngeal nerve on ultrasound evaluation * Participant has a history of uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled hypertension, chronic liver disease or chronic kidney disease (Stage 4-5), or recent history of myocardial infarction or structural heart disease as determined by the Investigator * Participant has abnormal contralateral vocal cord function * Anesthesia drug allergies * Participant is pregnant at the time of screening or within 30 days prior to enrollment * Participant has any condition or situation which, in the Investigator's opinion, puts the participant at significant risk, could confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with the participant's participation in the study * Use of any investigational device or drug within 30 days prior to enrollment that may confound the results of this study
