Trial summary

Bone radioiodine (RAI) uptake without structural abnormality in thyroid cancer (TC) patients may be related to false positive or to microscopic foci of metastatic tissue. In such cases, outcome is reported to be excellent. Indeed, Robenshtok et al. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Radioiodine-avid Bone Metastases From Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Without Structural Abnormality, a Singular Entity With Heterogeneous Outcomes.

Bone radioiodine (RAI) uptake without structural abnormality in thyroid cancer (TC) patients may be related to false positive or to microscopic foci of metastatic tissue. In such cases, outcome is reported to be excellent.

Indeed, Robenshtok et al. reported a serie of patients with RAI-avid bone metastases of TC without structural abnormality on imaging studies who have more favorable long-term prognosis than those harbouring structurally visible bone metastases and do not undergo skeletal-related complications.

The investigators report the case of Mrs D., who had been operated for a pathologic tumor stage 3: pT3(m) poorly differentiated TC at the age of 43. The first post-therapeutic whole body scan revealed 3 foci of bone uptake (right clavicle, L2, L3). The elevated level of thyroglobulin (157ng/mL) favoured the hypothesis of bone metastases despite the absence of any structural lesion on CT and MRI. She received 7 courses of radioiodine therapy. The right clavicle RAI uptake persisted, and subsequent CT disclosed an osteolytic lesion which was treated by radiofrequency and external beam radiation. Twenty-five years after the diagnosis, she has a persistent morphological disease with a 30x8mm progressive lesion on the right clavicle, for which surgery is planned.

The aim of the present study is to describe the natural history and evolution of radioiodine avid bone metastases from thyroid cancer without structural abnormalities and to identify prognosis factors.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Administrative dataOther

    Evaluation of month and year of birth, sex, referent doctor and surgeon

  • Clinical dataOther

    Evaluation of diagnostic circumstances, vital status at last follow up

  • Histological dataOther

    Evaluation of Pathology report of thyroid surgery

  • Imaging dataOther

    Evaluation of scintigraphy, MRI, scan

  • Biological dataOther

    Evaluation of thyroglobulin, antithyroglobulin antibodies

  • Further treatmentOther

    Evaluation of surgery, radiotherapy, targeted therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of complete remission of thyroid cancer

    • Disappearance of pathologic radio iodine uptake, including bone uptake, on post-therapy scintigraphy
    • No structural evidence of disease on high-resolution imaging
    • Suppressed serum Tg < 0.6 ng/mL, no detectable TgAb (thyroglobulin antibody)

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Metastases and Thyroid Cancer, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Claire BOURNAUD, MD (4 72 35 69 99 ext. +33, claire.bournaud-salinas@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of complete remission of thyroid cancer (time frame: 1 month). 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 Oct 2019.
