NCT00004062	Azacitidine to Restore Thyroid Function in Patients With Persistent or Metastatic Thyroid Cancer	Completed	National Cancer Institute (NCI)	Phase 1	1999-07-01	RATIONALE: Azacitidine may help thyroid cancer cells regain the ability to take up iodine. This would allow the cancer to be detected and treated by radioactive iodine. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of azacitidine to restore thyroid function in treating patients who have persistent or metastatic thyroid cancer.
NCT00004062	Azacitidine to Restore Thyroid Function in Patients With Persistent or Metastatic Thyroid Cancer	Completed	Lucille P. Markey Cancer Center at University of Kentucky	Phase 1	1999-07-01	RATIONALE: Azacitidine may help thyroid cancer cells regain the ability to take up iodine. This would allow the cancer to be detected and treated by radioactive iodine. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of azacitidine to restore thyroid function in treating patients who have persistent or metastatic thyroid cancer.
NCT00027417	Study of Triostat in Infants During Heart Surgery	Completed	Michael Portman	Phase 3	2001-04-01	This is a study to determine the safety and efficacy of liothyronine sodium/triiodothyronine (Triostat), a synthetic thyroid hormone, when given to infants with congenital heart disease during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
NCT00098852	Rosiglitazone in Treating Patients With Locoregionally Extensive or Metastatic Thyroid Cancer	Unknown status	National Cancer Institute (NCI)	Phase 2	2004-10-01	RATIONALE: Drugs such as rosiglitazone may make tumor cells more sensitive to radioactive iodine. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well rosiglitazone works in treating patients with locoregionally extensive or metastatic thyroid cancer.
NCT00098852	Rosiglitazone in Treating Patients With Locoregionally Extensive or Metastatic Thyroid Cancer	Unknown status	University of California, San Francisco	Phase 2	2004-10-01	RATIONALE: Drugs such as rosiglitazone may make tumor cells more sensitive to radioactive iodine. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well rosiglitazone works in treating patients with locoregionally extensive or metastatic thyroid cancer.
NCT00311987	Study of 3,5-Diiodothyropropionic Acid (DITPA) in Hypercholesterolemic Patients	Terminated	Johns Hopkins University	Phase 1/Phase 2	2006-04-01	The natural thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), are known to have a cholesterol-lowering effect. Their pharmacologic use for this purpose is limited, however, by their actions on other organs, including the heart, bone, and brain, where there can be side effects of excessive thyroid hormone action. 3,5-diiodothyropropionic acid (DITPA) is a thyroid hormone analog with relative selectivity for a form of the thyroid hormone receptor expressed in the liver, where it regulates several aspects of lipid metabolism, including the clearance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. This study is designed to determine whether DITPA is safe and effective in achieving LDL cholesterol levels that are consistent with the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) guidelines in patients who have not achieved those levels on conventional therapy, due to drug-resistant disease, drug intolerance, or both. This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Following a 4-week Pre-Randomization Phase with dietary counseling and a 2-week placebo run-in, eligible patients will be randomized (1:1:1) to receive DITPA (90 mg/day, 180 mg/day), or placebo for a total treatment duration of 12 weeks. Sixty (60) patients will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio (i.e., 20 patients per treatment group): - DITPA at 90 mg/day (45 mg twice a day [BID] taken orally) - DITPA at 180 mg/day (90 mg BID taken orally) - Placebo (BID taken orally) Those patients randomized to receive DITPA at 90 mg/day will receive 45 mg/day for the first 2 weeks, followed by 90 mg/day for 10 weeks. Those patients randomized to receive DITPA at 180 mg/day will receive 45 mg/day for the first 2 weeks, followed by 90 mg/day for the next 2 weeks, and then 180 mg/day for 8 weeks.
