Read the detailed description

This study is a multicenter, observational cohort study aimed at assessing the accuracy and effectiveness of the ThyMPR-CLNM multi-omics model in predicting CLNM in patients diagnosed with stage T1 PTC. The design incorporates the following critical components:

The study enrolled 2000 patients diagnosed with stage T1 PTC from Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital, affiliated with Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, between Dec.2024 and Dec.2026. Fresh frozen tumor tissue, serum samples, and preoperative ultrasound images were collected from participants. These samples were utilized for comprehensive multi-omics analyses, including metabolomic and proteomic profiling, as well as ultrasound radiomic feature extraction. To minimize selection bias and balance covariates, propensity score matching was performed in two rounds, establishing a discovery set and a validation set with matched groups based on the propensity scores calculated through logistic regression. This ensured comparable groups for subsequent analyses. The study involved analyzing the collected samples through advanced techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for metabolomic and proteomic analyses, and Pyradiomics for extracting radiomics features from ultrasound images. Differentially expressed metabolites, proteins, and radiomic features were identified and integrated for the development of the ThyMPR-CLNM prediction model. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression technique was utilized to construct the ThyMPR-CLNM model based on identified features from the multi-omics analyses. The model's performance was subsequently validated using an independent dataset. Statistical evaluations were performed using R software to determine the model's accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC values. Comparisons with conventional diagnostic methods were conducted to highlight the ThyMPR-CLNM model's advantages.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lymph node metastasis status

    Patients with thyroid cancer undergo thyroid cancer radical surgery according to the guidelines, with pathological results including the number of lymph node metastases and metastasis status, based on the final pathological diagnosis.

    Measured: Record lymph node metastasis status until the end of the surgery, followed by a one-year follow-up until the conclusion of the study.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Surgical complications and postoperative recurrence

    Hemorrhage,Infection,Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury,Hypothyroidism,Other related surgical complications and Recurrence status

    Measured: Record surgical complications until the end of the surgery, followed by a one-year follow-up until the conclusion of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Lymph Node Cancer Metastatic, run by Tianhan Zhou.

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 5 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Tianhan Zhou (8615556960687, 201911122511374@zcmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lymph node metastasis status (time frame: Record lymph node metastasis status until the end of the surgery, followed by a one-year follow-up until the conclusion of the study.). 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 10 Dec 2024.
