Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06725576Recruiting
Comparing microwave ablation vs. surgery for low-risk thyroid cancer
This study compares a less invasive procedure (microwave ablation) with traditional surgery for treating a small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancer. If you have a single, small tumor with certain low-risk gene changes, you might be able to avoid surgery and have a quicker recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06840106Recruiting
Steam therapy for breathing issues after thyroid removal
This study tests whether breathing in steam can help with sore throat, cough, or other breathing problems that sometimes happen after a thyroid surgery. If you had a thyroid tumor removed and are having these symptoms, this treatment might help you feel better.
Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19–69 - NCT06855680Recruiting
EMIRATES: Observing low-risk thyroid cancer without completion surgery
This study tests whether it is safe to monitor small, low-risk thyroid cancers (1–4 cm) instead of removing the remaining thyroid tissue after initial surgery. It may help you avoid a second operation and lifelong medication if your cancer is truly low-risk.
WiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07235566RecruitingPhase 2
MRG003 plus pucotenlimab for advanced thyroid cancer (ATC/PDTC)
This trial tests two drugs together: MRG003 (a targeted therapy that delivers chemo directly to EGFR-positive cancer cells) and pucotenlimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system attack the cancer). It is for people with a rare and aggressive thyroid cancer (ATC or PDTC) whose tumors have the EGFR protein and have grown despite previous treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07524777Recruiting
Ganoderma Spores for Mood After Thyroid Cancer Surgery
This study tests whether Ganoderma spores (a natural mushroom extract) can improve mood and depression in women who've had thyroid cancer surgery. The spores may work by changing the bacteria in your gut, which scientists believe affects brain health and mood.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 40–75 - NCT04615988Recruiting
Vitamin D levels and hormone side effects from immune cancer therapy
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+ - NCT07072143Recruiting
Study on children with rare tumors
This study is looking at children and teens with very rare tumors to learn more about these conditions and improve future care. It aims to gather information from patients treated at participating centers.
Padova, ItalyAges birth–18 years - 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 - NCT06638931RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for rare solid tumors with high PD-L1
This trial is testing a drug called Nivolumab (an immunotherapy) for people with rare solid tumors that have high levels of PD-L1. It might be an option if you have tried other treatments and they stopped working or caused too many side effects.
