February 19, 2025 updated by: Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital

Impact of Thyroid Treatment on Ovarian Function and Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: a Prospective Cohort Study

This project aims to study the effects of different types of thyroid surgery and RAIT on ovarian function and pregnancy outcomes of DTC women of childbearing age, analyze possible risk factors, and assess whether potential risk factors such as age, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and positive thyroid antibodies are related to ovarian hypofunction and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

1) Screen the patients in the group according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign the informed consent form (a total of 300 patients were included). Fill in the questionnaire after joining the group. 2) Physical examination of patients before treatment (measure height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, body fat distribution and percentage); thyroid function test (thyroid B-ultrasound, TSH, FT3, FT4, TPO-Ab, TG-Ab); baseline ovarian function test (AMH, menstruation 1-3 days Six hormones, observe the ovarian condition and the number of sinus follicles through vaginal B-ultrasound); leave blood for scientific research: 2 tubes of coagulation (serum), 1 tube of whole blood, -80℃ freeze. 3) Different types of thyroid surgery (thyroid unilateral lobe + isthmus resection, total thyroidectomy, total thyroidectomy + RAIT) are treated. 4) 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment, the patients in the group should be followed up on ovarian and thyroid function, including physical examination (measurement of height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, body fat distribution and percentage); thyroid function testing (thyroid B-ultrasound, TSH, FT3, FT4, TPO-Ab, T G-Ab); ovarian function test (AMH, six items of sex hormones for 1-3 days of menstruation, observation of ovarian conditions and the number of sinus follicles through vaginal B-ultrasound); retention of blood for scientific research: 2 tubes (serum) of blood-promoting blood, 1 tube of whole blood, -80℃ freezing; record adverse reactions and combined medication. 5) If the patient in the group is pregnant during the follow-up period, the pregnancy follow-up shall be carried out according to the CRF table items at 2, 4, 12, 28 and 37 weeks of pregnancy respectively; delivery follow-up shall be carried out on the day of delivery and 6 weeks after delivery. 6) After the research, collect and sort out data for statistical analysis, summarize and sort out the results and publish them in professional journals in relevant fields in the form of papers.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
AMH level
Time Frame: before treatment and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment
Measure the concentration of AMH in serum
before treatment and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Thyroid function
Time Frame: before tratment and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment
Measure the level of TSH、T3、T4、FT3、FT4、TGAB、TPOAB in serum
before tratment and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment
clinical pregnancy rate
Time Frame: up to 24 months after the treatment
Clinical pregnancy is defined as the detection of intrauterine gestational sac through ultrasound, and the clinical pregnancy rate is calculated by clinically pregnant women/total women.
