Brief Summary

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

This study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted in Korea. A parallel, two-group randomized design will be with thyroid stimulating hormone suppression therapy group(low TSH group; intervention) is different from the wIthout thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression therapy group(high TSH group; control).

Detailed Description

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

Patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer who wanted Active surveillance and meet the inclusion / exclusion criteria will be randomized 1: 1 into two groups: the high TSH and low TSH group. During the study period, thyroid hormone supplementary doses will be determined according to the dose-adjustment protocol established for each target TSH range.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

low TSH group

0.3 ≤ target TSH \<2.0mIU/L

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Levothyroxin

Intervention Type DRUG

During the five-year study intervention period, thyroid hormone (oral administration) supplementary doses are determined according to a dose-adjustment protocol established for the group's target TSH range.

high TSH group

2.0 ≤ target TSH \<8.0mIU/L

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Levothyroxin

Intervention Type DRUG

During the five-year study intervention period, thyroid hormone (oral administration) supplementary doses are determined according to a dose-adjustment protocol established for the group's target TSH range.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Thyroid nodule of 1.0 cm or less confirmed as Bethesda category V (suspicious for PTC) or VI (PTC) based on cytopathological examination, or Bethesda category III (atypia of undetermined significance) with a confirmed BRAF V600E mutation.
* Patients with no evidence of distant metastasis, cervical lymph node metastasis, recurrent laryngeal nerve invasion, or tracheal invasion. Additionally, no evidence of extrathyroidal extension (ETE) should be present, and the tumor must not belong to high-risk subtypes of PTC (e.g., diffuse sclerosing, columnar cell, or solid subtype).
* Non-pregnant women of childbearing potential (confirmed by medical history taking)

Exclusion Criteria

* Hyperthyroidism
* If the investigator determines that you are not suitable for clinical research participation considering the following comorbidities:

* Myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident within the last three months.
* Diseases with limited life expectancy or potentially impairing the patient's ability to comply with at least five years of treatment or follow-up.
