TRAIL Study: Feasibility and Pilot
This is a pilot study to compare two ways of managing newly identified thyroid nodules that are likely to be cancerous based on ultrasound result and which under usual care would undergo immediate biopsy. The main goals of this pilot study are 1) compare anxiety at 6 months in each …
Zanzalintinib for the Treatment of Advanced Thyroid Cancer Before Surgery
To look at the effectiveness of zanzalintinib, followed by surgery, in treating advanced thyroid cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
Surgeon-performed Ultrasound for Real-time Guidance In Oral Cancer Surgeries - A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the surgical treatment of patients with oral cancer. We will explore whether the use of surgeon performed ultrasound during these surgeries result in better tumor removal. We hypothesize that using intraoperative ultrasound to assist the resection results in more frequent clear …
XL092 and Cemiplimab in BRAF WT Thyroid Cancer
This multicenter study examines the safety and feasibility of the combination of neoadjuvant XL092 and cemiplimab prior to surgical resection in participants with wild-type (WT) anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) that has a BRAF mutation (BRAF V600E).
Patient-centered Dosage of Levothyroxine
Levothyroxine is the most used thyroid hormone replacement when the thyroid gland is failing. Because dosage adjustment normally takes several months, the investigators have developed a decision support tool (DST) that predicts optimal dosage based on repeated blood samples the first 2 weeks after initiation of therapy. In this randomized …
The Safety and Feasibility of Radiofrequency Ablation to Treat Low-risk Thyroid Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to test radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in thyroid cancers ≤2 cm in diameter. The main question it aims to answer is: • What is the feasibility of RFA use for low-risk thyroid cancers (≤2 cm)? Participants will undergo a set of pre-procedural scans of …
Cetuximab Plus Platinum and Taxane-based Chemotherapy, Followed by Avelumab and Cetuximab, as First-line Treatment for Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) Patients With a PD-L1 Combined Positive Score (CPS)≥1≤19.
This phase II interventional clinical trial aims to evaluate whether combining cetuximab and avelumab, after three cycles of platinum and taxane-based chemotherapy, can improve treatment outcomes for patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with a PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) between 1 and …
Preoperative Smoking Cessation in Patients Undergoing Surgery
Background: At present, effectively implementing smoking cessation programs in the health care system constitutes a major challenge. A unique opportunity to initiate smoking cessation focuses on smokers scheduled for surgery. These patients are not only highly motivated to quit smoking but also likely to benefit from a reduction in postoperative …
Lead-212 PSV359 Therapy for Patients With Solid Tumors
Phase I/IIa clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of peptide-based theranostic (therapeutic and diagnostic) radiopharmaceuticals, i.e. [203Pb]Pb-PSV359 and [212Pb]Pb-PSV359 targeting Fibroblast Activation Protein in subjects with solid tumors.
Validation of ICG-99mTc-nanoscan as Hybrid Tracer for Sentinel Node Biopsy
99mTc-nanocolloid, the world wide used hybrid tracer for dynamic sentinel node biopsy, has recently been replaced with 99mTc-nanoscan. The hybrid form (ICG-99mTc-nanoscan) has not yet been validated, to show the similarity between the lymphatic drainage pattern between ICG-99mTc-nanoscan and 99mTc-nanoscan.
