Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT02747888Recruiting
Study of inherited risk for thyroid cancer
This study looks at whether thyroid cancer or thyroid lumps can run in families due to inherited (genetic) risk. It may help researchers better identify who is at higher risk and guide future screening or prevention.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT00001160Recruiting
Study of thyroid lumps and thyroid cancer
This study looks at people who have or may have thyroid nodules (lumps in the thyroid gland in your neck) or thyroid cancer, as well as family members who may have inherited a higher risk. It aims to better understand and diagnose these thyroid problems.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–98 years - NCT06627998Recruiting
Bone health study for thyroid cancer patients
This study checks how common bone problems are in people with thyroid cancer. It uses a chest x-ray done before surgery to look at the spine's shape.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07634978Recruiting
AI Chatbot Health Education for Thyroid Cancer Surgery
This study tests whether an AI chatbot can help thyroid cancer patients understand their surgery and recovery better. You would use the chatbot before and after your scheduled thyroid surgery to answer questions and learn about what to expect.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT06791005RecruitingPhase 3
Timing of carbon nanoparticles injection for thyroid cancer
This trial tests whether the timing of a carbon nanoparticle injection during thyroid cancer surgery improves outcomes. It may help patients who need their whole thyroid removed and have cancer in both lobes or spread to lymph nodes.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 16–80 - NCT06733766Recruiting
Heat therapy for returning thyroid cancer
This trial tests using ultrasound-guided heat (thermal ablation) to treat thyroid cancer that has come back in the neck after a prior thyroidectomy. The goal is to destroy the recurrent tumor using a needle-like device, avoiding another surgery for patients whose cancer has not spread elsewhere.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07234539Enrolling by invitation
AI tool for thyroid cancer management
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) helper that assists doctors in managing thyroid cancer. It aims to see if the tool can improve care for patients like you.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06195228RecruitingPhase 4
Real-world study of genetic types in advanced thyroid cancer
This study looks at how different genetic types of advanced thyroid cancer respond to treatment in real-world settings. It may help doctors choose the best therapy for you based on your tumor’s genetic makeup.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Any age - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.
Palm Desert, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06374602RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and lenvatinib for anaplastic thyroid cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, pembrolizumab and lenvatinib, for people with a rare and aggressive thyroid cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor or slow its growth.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05852223RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for high-risk thyroid cancer that cannot be fully removed
This study tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) in people with high-risk thyroid cancer that is hard to treat with surgery alone. It looks at whether this drug can reduce persistent or recurrent cancer after your planned treatment.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT05604963Recruiting
Half or full thyroid surgery for low-risk thyroid cancer
This study looks at people with low-risk thyroid cancer who have already had (or are about to have) surgery, comparing half-thyroid removal versus full-thyroid removal. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective surgery for your cancer type and risk level.
Crewe, CheshireAges 16 years+ - NCT04927416RecruitingPhase 2
Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan in metastatic thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a specific special scan (68-Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT) can help doctors better see where thyroid cancer has spread. It focuses on certain types of thyroid cancer and compares how well the scan images metastases.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–98 - NCT04892303RecruitingPhase 1
Planning treatment using radiation plus radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how doctors plan a combination of two radiation approaches—external beam radiation and radioactive iodine—for thyroid cancer that is not fully responding to standard treatment. It may help people who still have iodine-avid tumor spots, but whose iodine uptake looks too low to work well with radioactive iodine alone.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT06959511RecruitingPhase 2
Zanzalintinib for advanced thyroid cancer before surgery
This trial tests a drug called zanzalintinib for people with advanced thyroid cancer that has spread nearby. The goal is to see if taking this pill before surgery can shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06800768Recruiting
PET scan for finding thyroid cancer that has returned after surgery
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-FAPI) to see if it can better find thyroid cancer that has come back or spread after surgery. It may help your doctor decide on the best next steps for your care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07287748RecruitingPhase 1
Studying AF-001 for advanced thyroid cancer
This trial tests a new drug called AF-001 for people with thyroid cancer that has spread and can't be removed with surgery. It's for those who didn't benefit from or can't take standard treatments, or who haven't had radioactive iodine therapy yet.
KashiwaAges 18 years+ - NCT05786924RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted cancer drug study for RAS/RAF mutation-positive tumors
This Phase 1/2 study tests S241656 (a targeted cancer medicine) in people whose cancers have certain “RAS/RAF” gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer growth, and also finds the safest dose and best way to use the drug.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07376837Recruiting
Radiofrequency ablation for small low-risk thyroid cancer
This study tests whether radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment applied through the skin) can safely and effectively cure small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancers. It is designed for people whose tumors are small, have not spread, and who either cannot have surgery or prefer not to.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07406087Recruiting
