Active clinical trials for "Thyroid Diseases"

Using sensitive markers (such as thyroglobulin, etc) to evaluate the efficacy of strontium-89 chloride (Sr-89) in differentiated thyroid cancer with bone metastases with an aim to breaking out of its palliation effect for bone pain.

Recently, endoscopic thyroidectomy using gasless unilateral transaxillary approach has been proven feasible and safe in several Chinese medical centers. This study is aimed to compare multi-institutional Chinese outcomes of endoscopic thyroidectomy using gasless unilateral transaxillary approach and conventional open surgery.

The purpose of this trail is to evaluate the performance of Genetron TERT/BRAF PCR Kit in Thyriod Cancer patients using real-time PCR method.

The purpose of this research study is to see if the amount of vitamin D in ones blood makes it more or less likely to develop thyroid gland toxicity when being treated with immunotherapy that blocks the activity of proteins called programed death-1(PD-1) or programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). Immunotherapy is treatment that makes changes to the immune system to try to fight cancer. Immunotherapy treatments that block the activity of important parts of the immune system called PD-1 and PD-L1 are used to standardly treat many different types of cancer and can cause thyroid toxicity in certain people. In this study the treatment for your cancer is not research treatment but standard of care determined by your oncologist. Blood will be drawn before starting treatment to determine the amount of Vitamin D and also to assess thyroid function. Also questionnaires will be completed before starting treatment and while on treatment to assess symptoms you are experiencing.

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antineoplastic activity of TY-1091 administered orally in participants with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), RET-altered NSCLC and other RET-altered solid tumors.

The purpose of this study was to explore the changes of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer (LATC) receiving TKI drugs (anlotinib, lenvatinib, etc.).

Tumor-related inflammation is one of the hallmarks of cancers in general. Innate immunity specifically is a common denominator which is involved in the pathogenesis of both thyroid carcinoma and colon carcinoma. To improve the patient's outcome and identify novel therapeutic targets, one needs a deeper understanding of the tumor-induced changes in the bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells. Furthermore, treatment of these cells by nanoparticles or other agents that induce a program of 'trained immunity' may be a novel way to re-educate myeloid cells and their bone marrow progenitors in thyroid carcinoma patients. Lastly, the investigators expect that this approach could be effective also in other cancers of which colon carcinoma is here proposed as an additional model. The investigators hypothesize that by exposing myeloid cells or their progenitors to various agents that induce trained immunity (e.g. high-density-lipoprotein-methylene diphosphonate nanoparticles, recombinant and synthetic cytokines), these immune cells will undergo functional reprogramming to induce a tumor-suppressive phenotype. In the future, this could be explored as a novel immunotherapy for tumors that are refractory to conventional treatment.

Participants in this study will be patients diagnosed with or suspected to have a thyroid nodule or thyroid cancer. The main purpose of this study is to further understand the methods for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. Many of the test performed are in the context of standard medical care that is offered to all patients with thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer. Other tests are performed for research purposes. In addition, blood and tissue samples will be taken for research and genetic studies.

The Huizhou mother-infant cohort was set up to investigate the effect of dietary factors and environmental exposures during pregnancy on health consequences of mothers and offsprings in Huizhou, China.

providing an almost natural ectopic thyroid in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy, remains a challenging subject that can benefits patients with a non-pharmacological substitute for their normal gland. this study seeks to prove that thyroid autotransplantation is possible and reliable.
