Trial summary

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the prognostic value of intra-operative indocyanine staining scoring concerning 24 hours post-operative PTH levels and the possible advantages that its' use can give in terms of clinical practice compared to conventionally operated patients.

About this study

Official title: Does Indocyanine Imaging Scoring Predicts Postoperative PTH Levels at 24 Hours After Total Thyroidectomy

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the prognostic value of intra-operative indocyanine staining scoring concerning 24 hours post-operative PTH levels and the possible advantages that its' use can give in terms of clinical practice compared to conventionally operated patients.

Read the detailed description

Study objectives are:

  • Detecting the changes of practice in performing total thyroidectomy with ICG.
  • Comparing ICG-performed minimal invasive total thyroidectomy
  • Identifying the cut-off points that predict low PTH levels (less than 20pg/ml)
  • Identifying and analyzing problematic groups of patients The study is designed as a prospective observational multi-center study. Any patient that has indication for a total thyroidectomy will be considered eligible.

The study will be conducted until 60 subjects are included. It is estimated that it will take up to 3 months to enroll the patients.

Pre-Surgery: Procedures preformed such as routine hospital examinations, antibiotic prophylactic treatment, anticoagulant treatment and diet will be according to the standard management protocol and will be recorded for the study. The following pre-surgery information will be recorded:

  1. Demographic information including: name, age, gender, ethnicity
  2. Height, weight, BMI and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system (I-VI)
  3. Behavioral history (Smoking, alcohol or drug use)
  4. Preoperative labs (WBC, Ht, Hgb, Ca2+, P, fT3, fT4, TSH, PTH, VitD)
  5. Diagnosis including clinical observations and previous imaging results
  6. Pre-operative characteristics of the adenoma
  7. Medications
  8. Current and past history of surgical and medical comorbidities

Intra-operative: The surgeon will perform the preplanned operation. The following intraoperative variables will be recorded for all patients:

  1. Surgery date
  2. Duration of surgery
  3. Operation performed
  4. Procedure related comments
  5. Number and location of the visualized glands
  6. Intra-operative ICG score (ranging from 1 to 3 [5]) for each grand

Pathology data form: The following pathology data will be recorded for all patients:

  1. Post-operative diagnosis including pathology report
  2. Possible parathyroids excised Postoperative follow-up: Follow-up evaluation will be performed during hospitalization

1 Postoperative labs (WBC, Ht, Hgb, Ca2+, P, fT3, fT4, TSH, PTH)

Being tested
Indocyanine Green

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Indocyanine GreenDrug

    Also called indocyanine green solution

    Indocyanine green will be administered intravenously to patients enrolled in this study after the completion of total thyroidectomy in order to assess the visibility of parathyroid glands and to assess the possible correlation of ICG score with post-operative parathormone levels in order to predict post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism.

Receives: Drug: Indocyanine Green

What is being measured

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

  1. Intra-operative ICG fluarangiography predicts post-operative PTH values

    Whether ICG score of parathyroid glands after total thyroidectomy correlates with 24 post-operative values of PTH

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ICG improves the intraoperative recognizability of the parathyroids

    To assess the ability of ICG flurangiography to increase recognizability of parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy based on ICG score of the parathyroids.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thyroid and Parathyroid; Deficiency, run by Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki at 2 sites in Greece.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 20 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Greece. 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?

Intra-operative ICG fluarangiography predicts post-operative PTH values (time frame: 24 hours). 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 20 Aug 2019.
