Thyroid Cancer

Background: Oncocytic (Hurthle cell) thyroid cancer (HTC) is a rare disease with few treatment options. Researchers are developing a radioactive drug that targets a protein that appears in high numbers on HTC cancer cells. Objective: To test a radioactive drug (177LuDOTA-EB-TATE) in people with HTC. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HTC. The HTC must have failed to respond to conventional radioactive treatment; it must also have spread to other parts of the body. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have imaging scans and a test of their heart function. 177LuDOTA-EB-TATE is infused into a vein. Participants will receive 4 infusions spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart. They will stay in the hospital for 4 to 10 days after each infusion. During and after each infusion, participants will remain in a lead-lined room until their radiation levels go down; this usually takes about 24 hours. Participants will have 4 to 6 follow-up visits in the weeks after each infusion. Procedures will vary at each visit, but may include more imaging scans; blood and urine tests; and tests of heart function. Participants will have 2 single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scans. SPECT scans show where the study drug is sticking to tumors or maybe other parts of their body. They will lie on a table while a machine rotates around them. Participants will fill in questionnaires about how their thyroid condition affects their life. Participants will have follow-ups visits for 5 years after their last study treatment.

Study rationale High risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) require therapy with 131 I under thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation. There are two methods of TSH stimulation endogenous by thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) leading to hypothyroidism and exogenous by injection of human recombinant TSH (rhTSH Thyrogen). The appropriate 131-I activity utilized for treatment is either based on empiric fixed dosage choice or individually determined activity based on 131 I dosimetric calculations. Although dosimetry utilizing radioactive iodine isotope 131 I enables calculation of maximum safe dose, it does not estimate the tumoricidal activity necessary to destroy the metastatic lesions. The alternative radioactive isotope of iodine -124 I, used for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, might be used for calculation not only the maximum safe131 I dose, but also to predict the absorbed dose in the metastatic lesions. Study objectives The primary objective of this study is to compare the 124 I -PET/CT lesional and whole body dosimetry in each individual patient with metastatic radioiodine (RAI)-avid thyroid cancer under preparation with rhTSH and THW. The secondary objective is to evaluate the predicted by PET/CT lesional uptake with the early response to therapy. Study design This is a phase 2 pilot prospective cohort study comparing the lesional and whole body dosimetry within each patient undergoing exogenous (rhTSH) and endogenous (THW) TSH stimulation and followed for 5 years. Interventions Each study participant will undergo rhTSH and THW-aided 124 I-PET/CT dosimetric evaluations and will be subsequently treated with THW-aided RAI activity based on dosimetric calculations enabling maximum safe dosage. The patients will be followed in 12+/-3 months intervals for 5 years. Sample size and population This pilot study will include 30 patients with high risk differentiated thyroid cancer presenting with distant and/or loco-regional metastases.

This is a Phase 1 dose-escalation study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and efficacy of SLV-154 across a range of dose levels when administered to subjects with metastatic solid tumors.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn the safety and effects of the study medicine (PF-07799544) alone or in combination as a potential cancer treatment for adults with advanced solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two parts: PF-07799544 as a single agent (Phase 1a) and PF-07799544 in combination with another study medicine called PF-07799933 (Phase 1b). Phase 1a is no longer open for enrollment. In Phase1b (noted as "this study"), we are seeking participants who have: * a solid tumor which is metastatic or recurrent (excluding colorectal cancer) * tumor with the mutation (abnormal gene) called "BRAF V600" * received required prior treatment for cancer per cohort assigned. All participants in this study will receive both study medicines. Both study medicines are tablets that are taken by mouth at home twice a day. Participants will receive study medicines until their cancer is no longer responding, unacceptable side effects, or 2 years. Participants may continue to receive study therapy beyond 2 years. We will examine the experiences of people receiving the study medicines. This will help us determine if the study medicines are safe and effective.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called PF-07799933) administered as a single agent and in combination with other study medicines in people with solid tumors. This study is seeking participants who have an advanced solid tumor with a certain type of abnormal gene called "BRAF" and available treatments are no longer effective in controlling their cancer. All participants in this study will receive PF-07799933. PF-07799933 comes as a tablet to take by mouth, 2 times a day. Depending on the part of the study, participants may also receive another study medicine: * People with melanoma or other solid tumors may also receive binimetinib. Binimetinib comes as a tablet to take by mouth, 2 times a day. * People with colorectal cancer may also receive cetuximab or cetuximab and mFOLFOX6 (Chemotherapy regimen). Cetuximab will be given weekly (or every two weeks) in the clinic as a shot given in the vein or port (intravenous, IV). Participants may receive the study medicines for about 2 years. The study team will monitor how each participant is doing with the study treatment during regular visits at the study clinic.

This retrospective cohort study investigates predictors of postoperative hypocalcemia following thyroidectomy procedures at Minia University Hospital over a 10-year period (2014-2024). Postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia is one of the most common complications of thyroid surgery, affecting 20-50% of patients. The study aims to identify demographic, clinical, laboratory, and surgical factors associated with the development of both transient and permanent hypocalcemia. Results will inform risk stratification, patient counseling, and perioperative management strategies.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of T-DXd in patients with HER2-positive (IHC 3+) locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic solid tumors who have received prior systemic treatment for metastatic or advanced disease and have no satisfactory alternative treatment options in a real-world setting in the US

The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred \& Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.

This trial is comparing two strategies in intermediate-risk differentiated thyroid cancer patients: Systematic radioiodine administration versus decision of radioiodine treatment guided by a post-operative work-up based on serum Tg values and diagnostic RAI scintigraphy

The purpose of this study is to find out if Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Latinos (MCP-L) helps reduce anxiety and depression and improves quality of life compared to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Investigators also want to learn what participants and providers think about the therapy, including how the therapy is designed, outside factors, available resources, and how the people involved affect how well MCP-L works.

The researchers are doing this study to find out if the combination of avutometinib and defactinib is an effective treatment for RAF dimer-driven radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer or anaplastic thyroid cancer.

Persons diagnosed with thyroid cancer are often treated initially with a thyroidectomy, which is followed by ablation using Iodine-131, a therapy which has been shown to be effective and safe. Imaging of metastatic thyroid cancer has been performed with whole body I-131 and Iodine 123 (I-123) imaging for many decades and use I-123 for staging studies. Iodine 124 (I-124) is a radioisotope of iodine which emits a positron and is imaged using PET (positron emission tomography). This is a single arm prospective trial that evaluates the ability of Iodine-124 (I-124) to detect metastatic thyroid cancer compared to non-interventional, usual care I-123 and I-131 images.

BDTX-4933-101 is a first-in-human, open-label, Phase 1/2 dose escalation, dose optimization and expansion study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of S241656 as monotherapy and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies in participants with selected advanced malignancies. The study population for the Dose Escalation part of the study comprises adults with recurrent advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, and other solid tumors harboring KRAS, HRAS, NRAS, BRAF, and/or CRAF (Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma (RAF1)) mutations or alterations. A dose optimization part in adults with NSCLC may follow the dose escalation phase if the sponsor, in consultation with the safety review committee, decides it is necessary to further characterize the optimal dose. However, the study may also proceed directly to the expansion phase. The study population for the Dose Expansion part of the study comprises adults with advanced/metastatic NSCLC with KRAS and/or BRAF mutations, and with Pancreatic Ductal AdenoCarcinoma (PDAC), ColoRectal Cancer (CRC), and Biliary Tract Cancer (BTC) with KRAS, HRAS, NRAS, BRAF, and/or CRAF (RAF1) mutations and alterations. All patients will self-administer S241656 orally in 28-day cycles until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.

Thyroid cancer incidence has been steadily increasing and has nearly tripled since the 1970's in the US and worldwide. Early detection of small, papillary thyroid cancers using high quality diagnostic imaging explains only about 50% of this increased incidence, suggesting that there is a true increase in the occurrence of thyroid cancer and that changes in the prevalence of environmental risk factors might play a role in thyroid cancer etiology and progression. Yet, the cascade of environmental triggers linked to thyroid cancer remains elusive. 'Exposomics' studies all health relevant chemical exposures that an individual experiences, and leverages metabolomic platforms to estimate the "internal" environment, informing both exogenous exposures and the metabolic products that lead to, or arise from, disease. Besides exposure to ionizing radiation as known modifiable risk factor, epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals may be a potential thyroid cancer risk factor due to their known effects on thyroid function. However, these studies relied either on exposure questionnaires which are susceptible to recall bias, or used a limited set of targeted biomarkers measured after diagnosis for testing associations with case-control status, and not thyroid cancer prognosis. Further, the molecular basis for observed associations with thyroid cancer remains unclear. To address the overall hypothesis that environmental exposures alter metabolic pathways and therefore affect thyroid cancer prognosis, small amounts of blood will be collected using dried blood microsampler technology (e.g. Mitra® sampling devices), which is minimally invasive and can be used to collect repeated blood measurements at home, without the need for specialized training. These dried blood samples will be used to perform metabolomics experiments, which describe the sum of exogenous exposures, metabolic alterations, and biological response. Additional exposure assessment will be performed using an exposure questionnaire. These results will be associated with thyroid cancer prognosis, e.g. disease-specific survival, disease recurrence, and mutational profiles, thus investigating the role of environmental exposures in the development of more aggressive forms of thyroid cancer.

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of ultrasound-guided bilateral intermediate cervical plexus block on the surgical stress response in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy, as measured by the concentration of stress and inflammatory biomarkers in the participants' saliva and serum. The study will be conducted on 48 subjects divided into two groups of 24: a control group receiving total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and an experimental group receiving TIVA combined with a bilateral intermediate cervical plexus block. Investigators hypothesized that a combination of bilateral intermediate cervical plexus block and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) would reduce the surgical stress response, as measured by salivary and blood biomarkers, compared to TIVA alone in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. Should the research confirm the hypothesis, it will provide an objective scientific argument for including the block in standard anesthetic protocols for total thyroidectomy surgeries, with the ultimate goal of reducing the surgical stress response and ensuring faster patient recovery.

This study compares the clinical efficacy of non inflatable subclavian endoscopic surgery and open surgery for unilateral thyroid cancer, aiming to compare the differences in lymph node dissection rate, complication rate, surgical time, hospitalization time, drainage tube placement time and other indicators between the two surgical procedures, and provide guidance for surgical selection and safety in the later stage. This study is a clinical controlled trial that plans to include 400 consecutive patients with thyroid cancer. After being fully informed and signing the informed consent form, the subjects will enter the trial period after being screened and qualified. The subjects will undergo non inflatable subclavian endoscopic thyroidectomy or open subclavian thyroidectomy according to their own wishes. The enrollment period is from March 2026-2028. The follow-up period should be at least 5 years. After the start of the experiment, a recruitment notice and corresponding recruitment manual will be issued, with a planned recruitment of 100 patients. The preparation stage for clinical research should include the preparation, distribution, and confirmation of research documents, as well as personnel training; Sign the informed consent form and screen the subjects. The surgical method for thyroid cancer is determined by the surgeon based on the patient's condition and after communication with the patient Evaluate the number of lymph nodes and metastatic lymph nodes in the central area by the pathology department, organize the operation time according to the surgical records, calculate the patient's drainage volume and hospitalization time according to the nursing records, and conduct telephone follow-up on patient satisfaction in the later stage. Establish individual patient information using the existing thyroid cancer database in the department, recording general information, diagnosis and treatment history, and other relevant data.

Thyroid cancers can occur sporadically, but can also be found as tumors that cluster in families with other cancers or genetic syndromes. Researchers are studying thyroid cancer in children and families, with a particular interest in understanding genes and other factors that may put individuals at risk for developing thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules. * In this study, family and medical history information is collected alongside a blood or saliva sample for genetic studies. * Individuals with a past or present childhood thyroid cancer/nodule or a thyroid cancer suspected to be inherited in their family are invited to participate.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of a newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot for health education in thyroid cancer patients during the period around their surgery (the perioperative period). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the AI chatbot improve patients' readiness for discharge, quality of recovery, and active engagement in their own healthcare compared to traditional education methods? How do patients rate the usability and friendliness of this new AI chatbot system? Researchers will compare a group of patients who receive traditional health education (the control group) with a subsequent group of patients who use the new AI chatbot built on the "Coze" platform (the intervention group) to see if the AI chatbot leads to better recovery experiences and higher patient engagement. Participants will be asked to: Access and interact with the AI chatbot to receive personalized health guidance, ask questions, and get instant feedback during their hospital stay. Complete a set of questionnaires on the morning of their hospital discharge to evaluate their recovery quality, readiness to leave the hospital, and level of engagement in their care. Complete an extra survey regarding the usability and acceptability of the chatbot system (only for participants in the AI chatbot group).

The objective of this expanded access program is to provide ulixertinib (BVD-523) for compassionate use in advanced cancer patients with MAPK pathway-altered solid tumor(s), including but not limited to KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, MEK, and ERK mutations who have incomplete response to or have exhausted available therapies. Ulixertinib is available for treatment as monotherapy or in combination with other clinically tolerable agent(s), conditionally approved by the drug manufacturer.

Development of a clinico-biological database allowing the provision of clinical data and corresponding biological materials to the medical and scientific community.

To look at the effectiveness of zanzalintinib, followed by surgery, in treating advanced thyroid cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

This study aims to establish and optimize the trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2)-targeted immuno-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (immunoPET/CT) imaging method and its physiological and pathological distribution characteristics, based on which the diagnostic efficacy of the above imaging agents in solid tumors (including uroepithelial cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, thyroid cancer, head and neck cancer) will be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of using brodalumab in patients who develop side effects from cancer immune therapy. Immune-related side effects are due to activation of the immune system in patients who previously received immunotherapy and the goal of this study is to help better control these side effects. Brodalumab is often used to treat patients with autoimmune diseases (diseases where the immune system is activated against normal organs) and safe doses and treatment schedules have been determined in these patients. Immune-related side effects appear to closely mirror these autoimmune conditions. Brodalumab has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in immunotherapy side effects but it has been approved for treatment of autoimmune conditions.

This study aims to investigate whether Sporoderm-removed Ganoderma lucidum spore powder (RGLS) ameliorates depression in thyroid cancer patients through gut-brain axis modulation, and to elucidate the underlying microbial and metabolic mechanisms. This 3-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will enroll 300 postoperative papillary thyroid carcinoma patients with depressive symptoms (HAMD-24 ≥ 8). Participants will be randomly assigned(2 : 1) to receive RGLS (4 g/day) or matched placebo.
