What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the AMC and SWE elastography

    Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the AMC and SWE elastography in patients with a thyroid nodule CI taking as reference the histology of the nodule.

    Measured: at inclusion, before surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography SWE

    For elastography SWE validate decision thresholds for the parameters of elasticity of thyroid nodules, and evaluate the diagnostic performance of elastography SWE combined with those of the standard ultrasound.

    Measured: at inclusion, before surgery

  2. Establish a combined diagnostic score results of elastography

    Establish a combined diagnostic score results of elastography, the standard ultrasound and molecular analysis

    Measured: at inclusion, before surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing aspiration in thyroid node for Molecular Cytogenetic Analysis. in people with Thyroid Node and Indeterminate Cytology, run by Centre Francois Baclesse at 4 sites in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the AMC and SWE elastography (time frame: at inclusion, before surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01880203, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Oct 2016.
