Active clinical trials for "Thyroid Diseases"

Open label randomized controlled study, for Harmonic versus Ligasure in transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery.

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of sub-tenon aflibercept in combination with either saline or hyaluronidase (HA) in patients with acute Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) as assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events from baseline to day 45. Participants will undergo clinical examinations and receive three injections of aflibercept with saline, aflibercept with hyaluronidase, or hyaluronidase.

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the preliminary antineoplastic activity, safety and tolerability of HA121-28 tablets administered orally in patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC).

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapy with dabrafenib and trametinib (anti-BRAF and anti-MEK inhibitors) in the neoadjuvant treatment of BRAF-positive anaplastic thyroid cancer. The prognosis in patients with ATC is poor due to the rapid and invasive tumor growth and the rapid development of metastases. Dabrafenib is an antineoplastic agent, a selective RAF kinase inhibitor that competes with ATP. Oncogenic substitutions of the amino acid valine at position 600 (V600) BRAF lead to constitutive activation of the RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK pathway and stimulation of tumor cell growth. Trametinib is a reversible, highly selective, allosteric inhibitor of the activation of mitogen-activated, extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 (MEK1) and 2 (MEK2). Dabrafenib and trametinib inhibit two kinases in the signaling pathway, BRAF, and MEK. The combination of the two drugs provides effective inhibition of proliferative signal conduction. The investigators hypothesize that the combination treatment with these two drugs - dabrafenib and trametinib - can improve the response rate in the neoadjuvant mode in ATC without significant regimen-limiting toxicity and with better follow-up locoregional control.

papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer and has a good prognosis. Surgery is the primary treatment for PTC, and occult lymph node metastasis is not uncommon (20%-80%).The lymph node metastasis of PTC is mostly along the lymphatic drainage path station by station, and most of the first metastasis is to the central lymph node. According to the 2015 American Thyroid Association recommendation, prophylactic central lymph node dissection is recommended for patients with primary T3-4 or cN1b without central lymph node involvement. However, PTC with primary site T1-2, no external invasion and cN0 could not be dissected by central lymph node.Previous studies have suggested that prophylactic dissection should be performed to improve disease-specific survival, reduce local recurrence, improve recurrence risk and treatment response assessment, and help RAI decision making. Although routine prophylactic central lymph node dissection may detect occult lymph node metastasis, the need for further dissection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the parathyroid gland may lead to an increased incidence of complications, while its effect on reducing the risk of recurrence and improving prognosis is unclear, and the impact on long-term outcomes may be small.Previous retrospective studies in our institution have shown that routine central neck dissection does not significantly reduce the risk of recurrence. This study was designed to evaluate the benefits and risks of prophylactic central lymph node dissection in cT1b-T2N0 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. In order to ameliorate the effects of relapse and long time of death of PTC, thyroglobulin and its antibodies were also evaluated for short-term treatment response after surgery.

BDTX-4933-101 is a first-in-human, open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation and multiple expansion cohort study designed to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of BDTX-4933. The study population comprises adults with recurrent advanced/metastatic cancers harboring BRAF (Class I, II, and III), KRAS (other than G12C such as G12D, G12V), or NRAS mutations including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma, histiocytic neoplasms, thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer, and other solid tumor cancers with or without brain metastases. All patients will self-administer BDTX-4933 orally in 28-day cycles until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.

Acetaminophen and ibuprofen has been safely used for a long time and reduces postoperative pain and opioid dosages. Investigators are planning to compare the efficacy of 1) acetaminophen only and 2) acetaminophen and ibuprofen combination at postoperative pain after thyroidectomy.

This phase II trial tests whether vudalimab works to shrink tumors in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer or hurthle cell thyroid cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as vudalimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

The investigational drug, VRDN-001, is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the activity of a cell surface receptor called insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Inhibition of IGF-1R may help to reduce the inflammation and associated tissue swelling that occurs in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). This clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (the concentration of drug in the blood over time) of VRDN-001 in healthy volunteers and in patients with TED. Study participants with TED will also be evaluated over time for changes in their signs and symptoms of TED compared to their baseline measurements.

This project analyzes the relationship between type 2 deiodinase gene polymorphism and the TSH inhibitory treatment efficacy in thyroid cancer patients with thyroidectomy, and explored the factors influencing TSH inhibitory treatment efficacy. It further explores whether patients with diO2-Thr92ALA genotype or DIO2 Orfa-Gly3ASP genotype should choose T4+T3 treatment, and the effect of different treatment options on the quality life of patients.
