About this study

Official title: Thyroid-stimulating Immunoglobulins Level in Patients With Graves' Disease Undergoing Maintenance-dose of Antithyroid Drug and Its Relationship With Disease Relapse

The goal of this observational study is to determine the role of TSI, as well as clinical signs and thyroid function tests in predicting Graves' disease (GD) relapse after withdrawing anti thyroid drug (ATD). The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. To investigate the serum TSI concentration in patients with GD undergoing maintenance-dose ATD.
  2. To determine an optimal cut-off of TSI level for predicting GD relapse.
  3. To determine the role of TSI in predicting Graves' disease relapse after withdrawing ATD.
Read the detailed description

Retrospective follow-up study of patients with hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease, treated at the endocrine outpatient clinic of Medic Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City from January 2000 to April 2021. TSI was measured several times during the course of treatment when planning to stop medication (at the discretion of the attending physician). ATD withdrawal would be planned when patients achieved euthyroid status clinically with normal FT4 tests for at least 3 months with minimal dose of ATD. The decision was also based on TSI concentration, goiter's characteristics and parenchymal vascularity on Doppler ultrasound.

What participants receive

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

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ATD withdrawalATD treatment was decided to be stopped at the discretion of the attending physician. Then, patients were followed after ATD withdrawal to determine who would have relapse of GD. Finally, patients were divided into 2 groups: Relapse and No relapse

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with GD relapse

    Patients who had relapse of hyperthyroidism due to GD

    Measured: at least 1 year after ATD withdrawal

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. TSI LEVEL IN PATIENTS WITH GRAVES' DISEASE UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE-DOSE OF ANTITHYROID DRUG.

    TSI level before planning for ATD withdrawal

    Measured: before ATD withdrawal

  2. Optimal cut-off of TSI level for predicting GD relapse

    Optimal cut-off of TSI level before ATD withdrawal for predicting GD relapse

    Measured: before ATD withdrawal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Graves Disease and Immunoglobulin, run by University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City at 1 site in Vietnam.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2023. 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 Vietnam. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Number of Participants with GD relapse (time frame: at least 1 year after ATD withdrawal). 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 6 Feb 2023.
