About this study

Official title: Dose-Response in Radionuclide Therapy of Thyroid Cancer

RATIONALE: Radioactive iodine kills thyroid cancer cells by giving off radiation.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects, best dose, and how well iodine I 131 works in treating patients with thyroid cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the relationship between estimated absorbed dose of iodine I 131 and tumor response or normal organ toxicity for different dosimetric measures, using data derived from clinical radionuclide therapy studies in patients with thyroid cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral dosimetric iodine I 131 (^131I) on day 2 and then undergo nuclear medicine imaging at 0.5-4 hours, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosimetric ^131I. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT scans are performed at 0.5-4 hours and 24 or 48 hours over the head and neck region, including the salivary glands. Subsequent SPECT/CT scans are performed over the candidate tumor sites. Patients undergo ^131I therapy on day 11.

Saliva is collected on days 1 and 2, weeks 2 and 4, and months 3 and 6 to measure saliva flow rate. Blood is collected at baseline and periodically during study to measure FLT3 ligand levels.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 96 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Patient-specific dosimetry in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jul 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor Absorbed Dose (time frame: up to 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jul 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
