Thyroid gland disorder

This early study tests if a laser can safely destroy small thyroid cancers (papillary thyroid microcarcinoma) without removing the thyroid. Ten adults with small tumors will receive laser treatment, then have their thyroid removed 6 months later to check if the cancer is fully go…

This phase 2 trial tests whether combining two oral drugs—sorafenib and everolimus—can shrink tumors or slow disease in people with advanced thyroid cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Sorafenib cuts off the tumor's blood supply, while everolimus blocks a protein that helps…

This study tests an experimental drug called KL590586, taken as a capsule, in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific RET gene changes. The trial has two phases: Phase I checks safety and the right dose, while Phase II looks at how well the drug shrinks tumors. Up to…

This study tests a drug called TOUR006 in 79 people with active thyroid eye disease, a condition that causes eye bulging and inflammation. Participants receive either a low dose, high dose, or placebo injection every 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug can reduce eye bul…

This study tests an oral drug called selpercatinib in people with advanced solid tumors that have RET gene alterations, including certain lung, thyroid, and colon cancers. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors. About 857 participants are enrolled…

This study tests an oral drug called selpercatinib (LOXO-292) in children with advanced solid or brain tumors that have a specific RET gene change. The trial has two parts: first finding a safe dose, then measuring how many children's tumors shrink. About 36 children whose cancer…

This study looks at the long-term safety of an experimental drug called MBX 2109 for people with hypoparathyroidism, a condition where the body doesn't produce enough parathyroid hormone. About 60 adults who finished a 12-week phase 2 study will receive weekly injections of MBX 2…

This registry study follows 100 adults who have had a procedure called thyroid embolization to treat hyperthyroidism, goiter, or thyroid nodules. The procedure uses a catheter to block blood flow to the thyroid, aiming to shrink it and reduce symptoms. Researchers will track chan…

Researchers are testing a technique called Raman spectroscopy to see if it can accurately identify thyroid cancer in tissue samples. The study involves patients who are already having a routine thyroid biopsy for suspected cancer. After the biopsy, the removed tissue is examined …

This study compares two genetic tests, Afirma GSC and ThyroSeq v.3, on tissue from thyroid nodules that have unclear biopsy results. The goal is to see which test better identifies benign nodules, so patients can avoid unnecessary surgery. About 328 participants with indeterminat…

This study is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps doctors read thyroid ultrasound images. Researchers want to see if the AI can make diagnoses more consistent and faster than traditional methods. About 2,000 adults from 16 hospitals in China will take part. Th…

This Mayo Clinic study tracks 300 patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation for symptomatic thyroid nodules. Researchers use a simple questionnaire to measure changes in symptoms like discomfort or swallowing issues before and after the procedure. The goal is to better understa…

This study tests whether placing a placental-based allograft called Amnioeffect on the surgical wound improves scar appearance, pain, and swallowing after thyroid or parathyroid surgery. About 334 adults will be enrolled, with half receiving the graft and half getting standard ca…

This study looks at whether a tailored exercise program can improve quality of life, muscle strength, and balance in women aged 65 and older with Hashimoto's thyroiditis or multinodular toxic goiter. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or usual c…

This study tests whether giving a thyroid hormone (T3) directly into the lungs can safely improve oxygen levels in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung condition. About 68 critically ill patients on ventilators will either receive the hormone or s…

This study tests whether giving a continuous lidocaine drip during thyroid surgery can improve anesthesia depth and reduce side effects like nausea and low blood pressure. About 100 adults having open thyroid surgery with nerve monitoring will take part. The goal is to see if lid…

This trial is testing an investigational imaging device that uses shortwave infrared light to help surgeons see important structures like nerves, ureters, and bile ducts during surgery. The study involves adults aged 18 and older who are undergoing certain surgical procedures, su…

This study compares two methods of monitoring the nerve that controls the vocal cords during thyroid and parathyroid surgery. The standard method uses a breathing tube with electrodes, while the new method uses tiny needles placed directly into the voice box cartilage. Researcher…

This study examines the links between sleep bruxism (teeth grinding during sleep) and sleep quality, heart health, thyroid function, and mood. Researchers will give some participants opipramol, a drug that may reduce grinding activity, and monitor them with sleep tests. The goal …

This study aims to find the genetic changes that make some families more likely to develop papillary thyroid cancer. Researchers will analyze DNA from 1,200 people who either have this cancer and have at least three affected relatives, or are family members of such patients. The …

This study aimed to see if thyroid surgery changes the thickness of the carotid artery, which is a sign of heart disease risk. It planned to measure artery thickness before and after surgery in adults with various thyroid conditions. However, the study was withdrawn before enroll…
