Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

To confirm the status of thyroid remnant ablation by using Thyrogen stimulated radioiodine whole body scans (WBS) in patients previously treated in THYR-008-00.
Duration of study
To learn if there was recurrence of thyroid cancer in any of the patients previously treated in the THYR-008-00 study.
Duration of study
To assess Thyrogen-stimulated serum Tg measurements in patients previously treated in the THYR-008-00 study.
Duration of study
To assess safety information on repeat exposure to Thyrogen in patients previously treated in the THYR-008-00 study.
Duration of study
Use of Thyrogen in euthyroid patients undergoing radioiodine remnant ablation with 100 mCi (3.7 GBq) 131I results in a comparable ablation rate to patients undergoing radioiodine remnant ablation in the hypothyroid state with 100 mCi (3.7 GBq) 131I

Secondary Endpoints

QoL in patients treated using Thyrogen
Compare the radioiodine uptake and retention into the thyroid bed in euthyroid patients using Thyrogen and patients treated in the hypothyroid state.

Frequently asked questions about Thyrogen+ Radioiodine

What is Thyrogen+ Radioiodine used for?

Thyrogen+ Radioiodine is used in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer and thyroid neoplasms. It combines Thyrogen (thyrotropin alfa for injection) with radioactive iodine (131I) to destroy remaining thyroid tissue after thyroidectomy, a process called thyroid remnant ablation. It is studied in adults 18 years and older.

Who makes Thyrogen+ Radioiodine?

Thyrogen is developed and manufactured by Sanofi, which trades under the ticker SNY. The combined Thyrogen plus radioiodine regimen uses Sanofi's thyrotropin alfa for injection alongside radioactive iodine 131I.

What phase is Thyrogen+ Radioiodine in?

Thyrogen+ Radioiodine has been studied in Phase 3 clinical development. The trials in this program are listed as completed, and the drug is not described as approved for this use. It remains an investigational regimen in clinical research.

What clinical trials is Thyrogen+ Radioiodine in?

Two Phase 3 trials have evaluated Thyrogen with radioiodine. NCT00196729 compared safety and successful thyroid remnant ablation in Thyrogen-treated euthyroid patients versus hypothyroid patients after 131I administration. NCT00295763 was a follow-up study of thyroid cancer patients from the earlier comparison. Both trials are completed.

How many patients were enrolled in Thyrogen+ Radioiodine trials?

The Thyrogen plus radioiodine clinical program enrolled 63 patients in NCT00196729 and 61 patients in the NCT00295763 follow-up study. Participants were adults, with NCT00196729 enrolling patients 20 years and older and NCT00295763 enrolling patients 18 years and older, across the United States, Canada, France, Germany, and Italy.
