Jinan, ShandongAges 18–65 - NCT06673329RecruitingPhase 1
Brodalumab for immune-related side effects from cancer treatment
This trial tests if brodalumab, an antibody that blocks a specific immune pathway (IL-17), can help control side effects caused by immunotherapy cancer treatment. It is for people with advanced solid organ cancers who have immune-related side effects that are suspected to involve IL-17.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06730321Recruiting
Assessing skills for robotic thyroid surgery
This trial is for people having robotic thyroid surgery (removing all or part of the thyroid with a robot). It aims to create a scoring system to measure how well surgeons perform the procedure. You may be eligible if you have a small thyroid cancer or a benign nodule and want the best cosmetic result.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT06787911RecruitingPhase 2
Donafenib and immunotherapy before surgery for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—donafenib (a targeted therapy) and an immunotherapy (anti-PD-1 antibody)—given before surgery for locally advanced differentiated thyroid cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor to make surgery easier and more complete. If you have this type of thyroid cancer that is hard to remove completely with surgery alone, this study may be an option.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06800482Recruiting
Online follow-up for papillary thyroid cancer patients
This trial tests whether online follow-up visits work well for people with papillary thyroid cancer after surgery. If you are comfortable using a smartphone or computer to check in with your doctor, this study might be a good fit.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–90 - NCT06851663RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New PET scan for many solid tumors
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06902376RecruitingPhase 1
XL092 and cemiplimab for advanced thyroid cancer without BRAF mutation
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, XL092 and cemiplimab, for people with a rare and aggressive type of thyroid cancer called anaplastic thyroid cancer. The drugs aim to shrink tumors before surgery and help the immune system fight the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06923826RecruitingPhase 2
Study of sacituzumab govitecan for advanced salivary gland and thyroid cancers
This trial tests a drug called sacituzumab govitecan in people with advanced salivary gland cancer or thyroid cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or slow down the cancer.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT06929650Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation for low-risk thyroid cancer
This trial tests a procedure called radiofrequency ablation to treat small, low-risk thyroid cancer. If you have a small nodule (2 cm or less) that is confirmed as cancer or suspicious for cancer (Bethesda 5/6), this treatment may be an option instead of surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–100 - NCT06961084RecruitingPhase 2
I-124 PET/CT scan for diagnosing thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether a new type of scan (I-124 PET/CT) can better detect thyroid cancer compared to standard scans. It may help doctors decide on the best treatment, such as radiation therapy or surgery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 13 years+ - NCT06980103Recruiting
Decision aid for RAI in thyroid cancer
This trial offers a decision aid to help you choose whether to have radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment after thyroid cancer surgery. You may qualify if you have intermediate-risk thyroid cancer and haven't yet made a decision about RAI.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07068542Recruiting
New drug combo for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests a new drug called sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with immunotherapy for people with advanced thyroid cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It aims to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow down the cancer.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07092514RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two doses of lenvatinib for thyroid cancer not helped by iodine
This study compares two doses of lenvatinib (24 mg vs 10 mg per day) to see which works better for people with thyroid cancer that no longer responds to radioactive iodine. It's for those whose cancer is growing or causing symptoms.
