Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate quality of life in patients after 10 days pause of thyroid medication (Liothyronine) compared to treatment with recombinant TSH (Thyrogen) before radioiodine uptake and treatment in a double-blinded, randomised cross-over design.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with a thyroid follicular or papillary cancer referred to radioiodine treatment in oncological department . The patients after thyroidectomy will be treated with Liothyronine and this treatment will be paused 10 days before radioiodine. As a routine these patients will be re-evaluated with iodine uptake 4 months later.

The patients will be randomised to either T3 pause related to the first radioiodine treatment and Thyrogen injection (recombinant TSH) related to the second treatment/uptake - or Thyrogen related to the first treatment and T3 pause related to the second treatment /uptake.

All medication given in the 10 days period right before radioiodine treatment/uptake will be delivered to the patients and marked with a protocol number. In the period with T3 pause the patients will be given placebo tablets and an injection of saline (instead of Thyrogen) before treatment/uptake at the similar time as given the Thyrogen injection. A nurse otherwise not involved in the study will give the injection.

Patients will be evaluated by VAS, SF-36, and Eortc QLC30 (version 2.0) before radioiodine treatment and 3 weeks after treatment.

placebo

To receive the placebo treatment in connection with the primary RI therapy and the T3 tablets and rh-TSH injections prior to second RI uptake measurement

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

rhTSH

Intervention Type DRUG

The patients will be randomised to either T3 (Liothyronine) pause related to the first radioiodine treatment and Thyrogen injection with continuing Liothyronine treatment related to the second treatment/uptake - or Thyrogen related to the first treatment and T3 pause related to the second treatment /uptake.

rh-TSH

To continue with L-T3 and to receive rh-TSH stimulation with 0,9 mg Thyrogen® (Genzyme) x 2 days minus 1 and 2 prior to RI therapy, and following this to have placebo tablets and placebo injections with isotone NaCl prior to the RI uptake measurement 4-6 months later

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

rhTSH

Intervention Type DRUG

The patients will be randomised to either T3 (Liothyronine) pause related to the first radioiodine treatment and Thyrogen injection with continuing Liothyronine treatment related to the second treatment/uptake - or Thyrogen related to the first treatment and T3 pause related to the second treatment /uptake.
