This study looks at whether your blood vitamin D level is linked to hormone-related side effects caused by immune checkpoint cancer drugs. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and how to monitor patients during treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07440290RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Dabrafenib and trametinib for BRAF V600 cancers
This trial tests two targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) for patients whose cancer has a specific change in the BRAF gene called V600. These drugs work together to block signals that help the cancer grow. The trial is for children, teenagers, and adults with many types of cancer, except for a few common ones that already have approved treatments.
BelfastAges 1 year+ - NCT07447089Recruiting
EMDR therapy for cancer patients with PTSD
This study tests a treatment combining group and individual EMDR therapy to help cancer patients who have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from their diagnosis or treatment.
MilanAges 18–100 - NCT03382158Recruiting
Learn about DICER1-related tumors through a patient registry
This registry collects information about people with known or suspected DICER1-related conditions, including certain rare chest and other tumor types. It helps doctors and researchers understand these conditions better and may support future studies.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges birth–100 years - NCT07226804Recruiting
Pulsed field ablation for benign thyroid nodules
This trial tests a new procedure called nanosecond pulsed field ablation (nsPFA) to shrink benign thyroid nodules that are causing symptoms like tightness in the throat or trouble swallowing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03647358RecruitingPhase 1
Iodine scan planning for metastatic thyroid cancer treatment
This early-stage study tests how well a special iodine scan (using iodine-124) can help plan treatment with radioactive iodine (iodine-131) for thyroid cancer that has spread. It may help doctors decide the right way to measure and target radioiodine-avid (radioiodine-absorbing) metastases.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07218315Recruiting
Electric Pulse Treatment for Small Thyroid Cancers
This trial is testing a new, non-surgical treatment that uses short electric pulses to destroy small papillary thyroid cancers. It may be an option for people with small tumors that haven't spread.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05316922RecruitingPhase 3
Lowering thyroid hormone during radiation to prevent low thyroid
This study tests whether using treatment to keep thyroid-stimulating signals low during radiation to the thyroid area can help prevent a treatment-related drop in thyroid function in children. It is aimed at kids with certain cancers whose radiation plan includes thyroid tissue.
MilanAges Any age - NCT07870148Recruiting
Breast cancer and thyroid antibodies study
This study looks at whether the body's immune response to the thyroid is linked to breast cancer. It may help doctors understand how breast cancer behaves and how to treat it better.
MilanAges 18–80 - NCT07359586Recruiting
Laryngopharyngeal injury after breathing tube under anesthesia
This study looks at throat and voice box injuries that can happen after having a breathing tube during surgery. It may help doctors understand why some people experience hoarseness, sore throat, cough, or choking after non-ear-nose-throat operations.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT01005654Recruiting
Molecular testing for endocrine tumor diagnoses
This study collects and analyzes molecular (cell/DNA-level) information from endocrine tumors or pre-cancer conditions. It may help doctors better understand these tumors and improve diagnosis and treatment planning when you need surgery or a biopsy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 years+ - NCT04693377Recruiting
Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread
This study tests whether combining a “freezing” procedure (cryoablation) with focused external radiation (SBRT) can reduce pain from bone metastases. It’s for people with certain cancers that have spread to bone and are having significant pain in a specific bone spot.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06085625RecruitingPhase 2
Outpatient vs. Overnight Stay After Thyroid Lobectomy
This study compares patient-reported outcomes and safety for patients who have thyroid lobectomy as an outpatient (go home the same day) versus an overnight stay in the hospital. It may be a good fit if you live within 50 miles of the hospital, have someone to help you at home for a few days, and are not at high risk for bleeding complications.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06736015Recruiting
Myo-inositol and Selenium for Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules
This trial tests whether taking myo-inositol and selenium supplements can help reduce the risk of thyroid cancer in people with thyroid nodules that are considered 'indeterminate' (TIR3a). The goal is to see if these supplements can prevent the nodules from becoming cancerous.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06752239RecruitingPhase 3
