Porcine thyroid extract for hypothyroidism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new porcine (pig) thyroid hormone replacement tablet for people with primary hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective compared to current levothyroxine therapy.

This study tests a new approach for people with hypothyroidism who are already taking levothyroxine. You may be able to join if you are on a certain dose and do not have other health conditions that could affect the results.
This study is testing whether Armour Thyroid (a natural pig-derived thyroid hormone) works as well as synthetic T4 (levothyroxine) for people with hypothyroidism. If you are already on a stable dose of levothyroxine, you may be able to switch to Armour Thyroid and see how it compares.
This study checks if older adults with mild underactive thyroid can safely stop their low-dose thyroid medication. Participants will be monitored to see if their thyroid stays normal without the medicine.
This study aims to improve lab tests for people with hypothyroidism who take levothyroxine. It compares their test results to healthy volunteers to see if doctors can make more accurate diagnoses.
This trial tests whether taking a thyroid hormone supplement helps people who are on hemodialysis and have borderline-high thyroid lab results (high TSH but normal FT4). It’s studying whether treatment changes thyroid-related outcomes or health while on dialysis.
This study tests a mobile app designed to help adults with an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) take their thyroid medication more consistently. The goal is to see if better medication adherence improves tiredness, weight, and thyroid hormone levels.
