About this study

Exogenous injection of recombinant human thyroid stimulating hormone (rhTSH) can elevate TSH in the short term (2 days) to meet the requirements of diagnostic 131I SPECT/CT whole-body scans. Antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) couuld alter the uptake of radioactive 131I in locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer. rhTSH can help to perform the diagnostic 131I SPECT/CT whole-body scans before and after the TKI usage. rhTSH can reduce the risk of tumor progression caused by thyroid hormone withdrawal period and the side effects of hypothyroidism also caused by thyroid hormone withdrawal, and clarify the 131I uptake change after TKI treatment.

What is being measured

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

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Positive diagnosis rate of lesions

    Positive diagnosis rate of lesions in diagnostic 131I SPECT/CT whole-body scans

    Measured: 72 hours after 131I treatment until progression or death, whichever came first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Recombinant Human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone in people with Recombinant Human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, run by Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 11 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2024. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Feng Wang (02552271455, fengwangcn@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TSH (time frame: 24 hours after the second TSH injection). 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 28 May 2024.
