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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study aims to improve a prediction model that helps doctors know how difficult a less invasive thyroid surgery might be. Researchers will observe 300 people with thyroid cancer or benign nodules to see which factors, like age, weight, and tumor size, affect surgery difficulty. The goal is to make surgery safer and help train surgeons better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons predict which patients might have a harder time with a less invasive thyroid surgery, leading to better planning and training.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. The model may not work for all patients or may need further validation before it can be widely used.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Patients with FNA proven differentiated thyroid cancer, were willing to undergo thyroidectomy and central lymph node dissection via transoral and submental approach. Patients were well informed about the transoral and submental approach and were aware of the potential benefits and risks. Patient consented for us to use perioperative data.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer with a maximum diameter not exceeding 4 cm * Clinical diagnosis of benign thyroid nodule with a maximum diameter not exceeding 6 cm * Absence of suspicious lateral lymph nodes or distant metastases Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with fusion or fixation of lymph nodes in the neck * Participants with history of neck surgery or radiation * Participants with vocal fold fixation by preoperative fibrolaryngoscope * Participants with preoperative examination suggestive of extrathyroidal invasion * Participants with a significantly restricted neck and/or jaw
