About this study

Clinincal data and pathological specimens from patients who had undergone at least one radioactive iodine-131 (^131I) therapy in the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Jiangxi Cancer Hospital over the past 8-10 years were retrospectively collected (approximately 30-50 cases each in the ^131I treatment-responsive group vs. the ^131I treatment-resistant group). Patients in the ^131I treatment-resistant group underwent ^18F-Trop2 PET-CT imaging.

Inclusion criteria:

  1. History of total thyroidectomy with postoperative pathology confirming papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC);
  2. At least one course of ^131I internal radiotherapy.

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Presence of other severe comorbidities;
  2. Incomplete clinical or follow-up data. The clinicopathological characteristics and Trop2 expression levels in tissue samples were compared between the ^131I treatment-responsive group and the ^131I treatment-resistant group.

Within the ^131I treatment-resistant group, comparisons were made between the rapidly progressing subgroup and the stable-disease subgroup under TSH-suppressive therapy in terms of clinicopathological features, tissue Trop2 expression levels, and SUVmax of metastatic lesions on ^18F-Trop2 PET-CT imaging. Factors influencing progression-free survival and overall survival in ^131I-resistant patients were analyzed.

Conditions
PTC, I-131, Trop2
Being tested
radioiodine-131 therapy

Study groups in NCT07314255
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RAI responderThe ¹³¹I treatment-responsive group was defined as patients who achieved successful radioactive iodine therapy (i.e., lesions disappeared or showed no long-term progression after radioiodine uptake).
Receives: Radiation: radioiodine-131 therapy
RAI nonresponderThe ¹³¹I treatment-resistant group was defined as patients meeting any of the following criteria: No radioiodine uptake in metastatic tissues during the first ¹³¹I treatment, with insignificant decrease or an increase in serum Tg levels before and after therapy; Partial lesions exhibit radioiodine uptake while others showed no uptaking; Progressive metastatic disease despite evident radioiodine uptake.
Receives: Radiation: radioiodine-131 therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor size;

    Lesion size was determined using CT imaging. Lymph nodes were assessed based on their shortest diameter, while other target lesions were evaluated based on their longest diameter. Each measurable lesion underwent an average measurement derived from a minimum of three readings, with all measurements conducted by the same individual to minimize measurement discrepancies. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) were used to assess treatment response

    Measured: 6-60 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serological assessment

    Including serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and serum anti-thyroglobulin antibody levels (TgAb) in thyrotropin-inhibited states, as well as tumor markers such as CEA

    Measured: 1-60months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PTC and I-131, run by Jiangxi Provincial Cancer Hospital 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?

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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jan 2026. 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?

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 size; (time frame: 6-60 months). 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 2 Jan 2026.
