New treatment option for Hypothyroidism
Official title Optimizing Care for Older Adults Through Thyroid Hormone Deprescribing
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06629272
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The proposed study focuses on testing a novel adapted evidence-based multilevel intervention, Deprescribing Thyroid Hormone In Older Adults (D-THIO), to support thyroid hormone deprescribing (dose de-escalation and/or discontinuation) in older adults with thyroid hormone overtreatment and/or misuse and reduce patient harm. Findings from this study will lay the groundwork for broad implementation of D-THIO and serve as a model for deprescribing inappropriate medications for other endocrine conditions and conditions with biochemical monitoring.
