Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for adults with thyroid cancer that has spread beyond the thyroid gland. Participants will undergo various medical tests and imaging scans, including a special PET/CT scan that uses a compound called 68Gallium-DOTATATE to see their tumors better.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I am over 18 years old.
  • I have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
  • My cancer has spread outside of the thyroid.
  • I have evidence of disease progression after treatment with radioactive iodine.
  • I have locally advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer with high calcitonin levels.

You may not be able to join if

  • I am pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • I have serious medical conditions that limit testing or treatment.
  • I am unable to give informed consent.

About This Trial
Background: About 5% to 10% of differentiated thyroid cancers become resistant to standard treatment with radioactive iodine. In these cases, treatment options are limited and generally not effective. Researchers want to see if they can better detect thyroid tumors by using a compound called 68Gallium-DOTATATE. This compound may bind to a tumor and make it visible during a positron emission tomog…
