TSH Suppression During Radiotherapy on Thyroid Site to Prevent Iatrogenic Hypothyroidism in Pediatric Cancer Patients
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Levothyroxine: Levothyroxine is used to treat hypothyroidism (low thyroid function). This medicine is given when your thyroid does not produce enough of this hormone on its own.
Study summary
To offer the possibility of a treatment that could achieve a meaningful reduction in the incidence of post-radiation therapy hypothyroidism. Thyroid dysfunction may develop from a few months to several years after patients have completed their radiation treatment. In children with chronic diseases, or given lengthy anti-neoplastic treatments, recurrent or persistent endocrine disorders may have a negative effect on growth and development into adulthood.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Hypothyroidism-free survival — 3 years
Hypothyroidism-free survival at 3 years after radiotherapy including part or the whole thyroid parenchyma on the intention-to-treat population will be the main end-point.
