Targeted Therapy to Increase RAI Uptake in Metastatic DTC

Boosting RAI absorption in metastatic thyroid cancer study.

Recruiting
All
Phase N/A

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a type of thyroid cancer common in kids, especially girls. Scientists are studying how new targeted drugs affect the cancer's ability to take up radioactive iodine (RAI), which is often used in treatment. This study checks how well the cancer responds to these drugs over time. Patients with metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) that has spread to the lungs may join the study. They will receive oncogene-specific targeted therapy—special drugs that target specific cancer genes—for about 4 weeks. Doctors will then scan their whole body to see changes in RAI uptake. This study does not involve new treatments, and decisions will be up to the doctors or other trials. To join, you must meet certain criteria, like having specific gene changes or being a part of other related trials.

  • Study involves approximately 4-week treatment before a whole body scan.
  • No new treatments; decisions are made by your doctor or another trial.
  • Pregnant women and those who need sedation for scans cannot participate.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
