Recombinant Thyrotropin PET-CT Fusion Scanning in Thyroid Cancer

NCT00181168

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelDiagnostic

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine \[for patients with previously treated well-differentiated thyroid cancer and evidence of residual disease based on serum thyroglobulin (Tg) level\] whether positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) fusion scanning performed after recombinant thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (rTSH, thyrotropin alfa for injection) will be more sensitive for the detection of disease sites than PET-CT scanning without rTSH. The study will also determine if this information will significantly alter the therapeutic approach in some patients.
