NCT07485569
This is a phase Ib trial that studies personalized network pharmacology-based drug repurposing in patients with advanced thyroid cancer who have no other treatment options. The main objective is to study if it is feasible and safe to give patients individualized drug combinations selected based on their tumor genetic profile. The secondary objective is to find out whether these treatments can help control the growth of the patient tumors or stop them from getting worse.
NCT06638931
The ANTARES study is a phase II basket trial designed to evaluate the tissue-agnostic efficacy of the monoclonal anti-PD1 antibody, nivolumab, in patients with advanced or metastatic rare tumors. The study aims to treat rare malignancies with PD-L1 expression (CPS ≥ 10), regardless of the tumor's tissue type or location. Patients who have not responded to standard treatments will be included, and treatment will last for up to 12 months. The study will assess objective response, progression-free survival, and biomarkers such as PD-L1, ctDNA, and microvesicles, in a multicenter collaborative effort to provide innovative therapeutic options for this underrepresented population
NCT07475780
The study will be an effectiveness study. The study will include enrollment of a total of 20 patients with at least one PC lesion for ultrasound guided RFA to PC recurrence in the neck to assess the effectiveness in reducing patient's hypercalcemia. Patients will have surgically proven PC from prior parathyroidectomy and suspicious PC visible on ultrasound and request for treatment for uncontrolled hypercalcemia (Figure 1).
NCT03647358
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new diagnostic imaging test, positron emission tomography (PET), with a different radioactive form of iodine called iodine-124. This form is able to accurately measure the amount of radioactive iodine uptake in the cancer. If the new test determines sufficient radioiodine uptake in the cancer, treatment will continue as usual. However, if the new test shows only low radioiodine uptake, a decision may be made that the benefit from radioiodine therapy is insufficient and that another form of therapy is preferred.
NCT06146764
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can sensitively show the blood perfusion characteristics of thyroid nodules, which is a useful supplement to gray-scale ultrasound. However, there is no standard combined diagnostic method of gray-scale ultrasound and CEUS. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the integrated scoring method and the up-and-down scoring method. This study was a multicenter retrospective clinical study and followed the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (version 2015). Inclusion criteria: 1) participants with at least one thyroid nodule larger than 5 mm confirmed by conventional ultrasound; 2) participants underwent gray-scale ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid nodule successively; 3) participants have a final diagnosis of benign or malignant. Exclusion criteria included: 1) participants with cytologic findings of Bethesda I, III, or IV without definitive benign or malignant pathologic findings; 2) participants with a history of thyroid fine needle aspiration, ablation or surgery; 3) participants with low quality ultrasound images (e.g., severe artifacts or low image resolution). According to the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System, only one thyroid nodule with the highest point was included in each participant. A total of 600 participants from January 2018 to December 2022 were consecutively included in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University to form a training set (average age 48 years; Range 24-81 years old). A total of 200 subjects with thyroid nodules from January 2022 to December 2022 were consecutively included to form an external validation set in Houjie Hospital of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province (mean age 46 years; Range 30-74 years). The malignant risk of enrolled thyroid nodules and the necessity of biopsy were evaluated by integrated scoring method and up-and-down scoring method, respectively. The diagnostic performance and unnecessary biopsy rate of the above two methods were calculated and compared.
NCT07440290
This clinical trial is looking at two drugs called dabrafenib and trametinib. Dabrafenib and trametinib are approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with melanoma (a type of skin cancer) or lung cancer and in children with glioma (a type of brain tumour). This means they have gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Dabrafenib and trametinib work in patients with a particular mutation in their cancer known as BRAF V600. Investigators now wish to find out if they will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which have the same mutation. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
NCT07383246
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority Phase III clinical trial, aims to compare 68Ga-CTR-FAPI PET-CT-guided surgery to investigator-chosen surgical approaches to evaluate its efficacy in treating newly diagnosed medullary thyroid carcinoma. This study plans to enroll 150 newly diagnosed MTC patients, who will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to the experimental group (surgery based on 68Ga-CTR-FAPI PET-CT findings) and the control group (surgery based on the investigator's choice). The primary endpoint is the biochemical cure rate, with secondary endpoints including the biochemical cure rate in the R0 resection subgroup, the unnecessary dissection rate in the biochemical-cured subgroup, 3-year recurrence-free survival, the rate of change in surgical extent, and diagnostic accuracy.
NCT06639191
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001, both in relation to tolerable activity of lutetium-177 and the absorbed protein mass dose of AKIR-001 in patients with irresectable or metastatic CD44v6-expressing solid malignancies for whom no reasonable systemic treatment options are be available. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the toxicity profile of the study drug \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001 according to the rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities and (Severe) Adverse Events? Participants will receive one \[177Lu\]Lu-AKIR001 infusion followed by a 6-week safety follow-up period, which can be extended up to 12 weeks. Possible additional infusions of the trial drug, up to a maximum number of four, can be given when clinical benefit is noted and toxicity is deemed acceptable.
NCT07299318
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common endocrine malignancy in clinical practice, accounting for approximately 85% of all thyroid malignancies. The occurrence of cervical lymph node metastasis further increases the risk of local tumor recurrence and distant metastasis, thereby reducing patient survival rates. Pathological examinations reveal that approximately 30-80% of PTC patients have lymph node metastasis. Early detection of metastatic lymph nodes and the development of individualized treatment plans are crucial for improving patient prognosis. Currently, the primary method for diagnosing lymph node metastasis is ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration, but its accuracy is limited by sample quality and carries a risk of false-negative results. In recent years, deep learning technology has demonstrated significant potential in the field of medical image analysis. Therefore, the investigators aim to develop a deep learning model based on neck ultrasound to more accurately predict lymph node metastasis.
NCT04624477
This is a prospective, observational, multi-center study examining the long-term outcomes of patients with small, low risk papillary thyroid cancer who offered the choice of active surveillance (close follow-up to monitor for potential disease progression) or immediate surgery.
NCT07252661
This is a research study of an experimental drug called ACC-1898. ACC-1898 is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that blocks several proteins kinases which may help cancer cells grow and spread. The purpose of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to find a safe dose of ACC-1898 and to understand how the body absorbs, distributes, and eliminates the drug (pharmacokinetics / PK). The study will also look for early signs that ACC-1898 may slow or shrink tumors and explore possible biological markers related to drug activity. Adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have no remaining standard treatment options may take part. All participants will receive ACC-1898 tablets by mouth once daily in repeating 21-day cycles. Treatment may continue for up to two years if the cancer does not worsen and side effects are manageable. Safety information, laboratory results and imaging scans (CT or MRI) will be collected regularly. The study will first test different dose levels (dose-escalation phase) and may later expand enrollment in selected tumor types once a recommended dose is found.
NCT06790706
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized the management of advanced cancers. However, most rare cancers have been excluded from this progress due to the lack of clinical trials involving these diseases. After the standard first-line treatment, there are no other validated treatments for most of them. The management of these patients in ≥ 2nd line treatment relies on historic poorly effective regimens. This creates an inequity between patients with frequent cancers beneficiating from medical progresses and approvals of innovative drugs, and patients with rare cancers are still treated with old and toxic drugs. Few available data on case reports and early phase studies indicate a beneficial role of the immunotherapy in rare cancers. The investigators assume that the combination of Domvanalimab and Zimberelimab is more effective than historical standard treatments in patients with 5 types of advanced rare cancers, after failure of at least one line of standard treatment in the advanced setting: * Cohort 1: Peritoneal Mesotheliomas (PM) * Cohort 2: Gestational Trophoblastic Tumors (GTT) * Cohort 3: B3 Thymomas and Thymic Carcinomas (TET) * Cohort 4: Refractory Thyroid Carcinomas (ATC) * Cohort 5: GEP-NET and carcinoid tumors (GEP-NET (Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors)/TCT (Thoracic carcinoid tumor)/UP-NET (Neuroendocrine tumor of unknown primary)) The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of the combination of Domvanalimab and Zimberelimab in terms of progression-free survival rate at 24 weeks (for cohorts 1,3,5), successful hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) normalisation rate at 24 weeks for cohort 2 and survival rate for cohort 4. The secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of the combination of anti-TIGIT (T cell Immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) and anti-PD-1 (Programmed Death-1) immunotherapies in terms of overall response rate, progression-free survival (cohort 1-3 and 5), resistance-free survival (cohort 2), overall survival (cohorts 1-3 and 5), duration of the response (cohorts 1-3 and 5); and to assess the tolerability of the doublet of immunotherapy in terms of adverse events. Patients will be treated until disease progression or alternatively 2 years in case of complete response (upon discussion with the coordinator of the study, the coordinator of the cohort and the investigator), unacceptable toxicity, or death. At the end of treatment, patients will be followed up for at least 1 year. IMMUNORARE5 is composed of five independent open-label national multicenter single-arm phase II trials, sponsored by Lyon University Hospital, led in collaboration with the corresponding French national reference centers, with a centralized coordination by a dedicated team. Each phase II trial is designed as a two-stage Simon design, with early termination for futility. For each cohort, a null hypothesis (H0) and an alternative hypotheses (H1) regarding the percentages of patients with success has been defined, with 5% one-sided alpha level and 80% power. The trial will be conducted in 15 French Centers with an inclusion period of 36 months
NCT06359847
ST-1898, a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has demonstrated strong inhibitory activity for VEGFR2, c-MET, AXL, PDGFRA, RET, KIT, etc. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ST-1898 tablets in patients with locally advanced or metastatic RAIR-DTC after failure of at least first-line TKI systemic therapy. All subjects will receive ST-1898 180 mg orally once daily until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
NCT07138716
This study explores the clinical application of 68Ga-DOTA-CCK-FS PET/CT in detecting cholecystokinin-2 receptor (CCK-2R)-positive tumors, particularly medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and other malignancies. Led by Prof. Luo Yaping (PUMCH Nuclear Medicine) and Prof. Liu Zhibo (Peking University, radiochemistry expert), the trial will enroll 30-40 patients to compare 68Ga-DOTA-CCK-FS imaging with standard PET/CT (e.g., 18F-FDG or 68Ga-DOTATATE). The novel tracer shows higher tumor uptake and retention in preclinical studies, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment guidance for aggressive, CCK-2R-expressing cancers. The study leverages PUMCH's Class IV Radioactive Drug License for advanced radiopharmaceutical development. Risks are minimal (diagnostic radiation dose only), and participants receive free imaging assessments. Results aim to refine precision diagnostics for MTC and related tumors.
NCT04197960
The study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) treated with microwave ablation(MWA) and surgery resection (SR), and to explore the tumor characteristics suitable for each treatment methods (such as with and without capsular invasion). The investigators organized 18 hospitals to participate in this multicenter study. Patients meeting following indications will be included in this study: 1. Biopsy pathology proved PTMC, but not high-risk subtype; 2. solitary mPTC, without US-detected gross extrathyroid extension; 3. no evidence of metastasis; 4 willing to participate in this study and perform regular follow-up. Patients themselves decide to receive MWA or SR for mPTC after medical consultation. Baseline characteristic including age, gender, thyroid function et al. will be collected. The treatment protocols of MWA and SR were according to the Chinese and international guidelines. The primary outcomes were the disease progression, including local tumor recurrence, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis. The secondary outcomes include thyroid function, complication rate, blood loss et al. Investigators will follow up enrolled patients and collect and upload data according to the trial. Treatment outcomes of tumor with and without US-detected capsular invasion was analyzes as subgroups.

NCT07062211
This research will employ cross-sectional analytical to determine diagnostic accuracy of Flourodeoxyglucose-18 Positron Emission Computed Tomography in the evaluation of Recurrent Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma with patient's raised Thyroglobulin level in Lahore.
NCT05534594
Rationale: In patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), molecular imaging is used to assess the extent of disease in the primary diagnostic process and follow-up period to determine possible therapeutic options. The currently most used tracer in clinical practice, F-18 labelled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), does not accurately detect MTC tumors with an indolent growth rate. A new, complimentary tracer is warranted to detect different subtypes. Objective: The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of using the F-18 labelled prostate specific membrane antigen (18F-PSMA) PET/CT for (re)staging patients with medullary thyroid cancer. The secondary objective is to compare the ability to detect MTC with the 18F-PSMA PET/CT to that of the 18F-FDG PET/CT. Study design: Prospective, single-centre, feasibility study. Study population: Patients (18 years of age or older) with biochemically and cytological/histological confirmed MTC, for whom the indication of an 18F-FDG PET/CT for tumor staging has already been determined on clinical grounds. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome of this study is the performance (lesion-based//patient-based sensitivity) of the 18F-PSMA PET to detect MTC lesions in patients with cytologically/histologically confirmed disease. Secondarily, the performance of the 18F-PSMA PET will be compared to the 18F-FDG PET/CT.
