Official title Comparison of I-124 PET/CT for the Diagnosis of Thyroid Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06961084
What this study is testing
What is Iodine-124?
Iodine-124 is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for thyroid cancer.
Also referred to as I-124, I-124 Radioisotope.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Persons diagnosed with thyroid cancer are often treated initially with a thyroidectomy, which is followed by ablation using Iodine-131, a therapy which has been shown to be effective and safe. Imaging of metastatic thyroid cancer has been performed with whole body I-131 and Iodine 123 (I-123) imaging for many decades and use I-123 for staging studies.
