Study population

All patients eligible to receive a redifferentiating agent in the adjuvant setting or in the treatment of structural metastatic disease not enrolled in a clinical trial will be approached for recruitment. All eligible patients will enroll in the study and will be followed indefinitely after enrollment.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients ≥ 18 years old at time of consent

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients diagnosed with RAI thyroid cancer or unlikely to respond to RAI.
  • Patients who will receive redifferentiation agents prior to planned diagnostic and/or therapeutic use of radioactive iodine as part of routine clinical care.
  • Patients who have never received redifferentiation agents outside of a clinical trial or have received redifferentiation agents in the context of a clinical trial will be enrolled after the clinical team has decided to proceed with a redifferentiation agent as part of routine clinical care prior to diagnostic and/or therapeutic radioactive iodine administration.
  • Patients previously treated with redifferentiation agents as part of clinical care prior to diagnostic and/or therapeutic radioactive iodine administration who are willing to provide retrospectively collected data surrounding the time of the previous treatment and will provide prospective data from the time of consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • RAI refractory thyroid cancer patients that will receive redifferentiation agents prior to diagnostic and/or therapeutic use of radioactive iodine as part of a prospective clinical trial.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Adverse events will be collected in every visit

    The primary objective of this protocol is to prospectively collect data on patients with radio-iodine refractory thyroid cancer or patients unlikely to respond to radioactive iodine prior, during and after initiation of redifferentiating agents used as part of routine clinical care with or without radioactive iodine treatment.

    Time frame: 2 years

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2028, 60 months after the start.

Of 103 non-industry observational studies under Thyroid Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 71 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 311. This study's planned 60 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 112 studies reached it within 63 months; a quarter within 26 and three quarters within 311.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 27, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
