Hypothyroidism clinical trials at University of California Health

4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • Thyroid Hormone Supplementation in Hemodialysis Patients

    open to eligible people ages 18-75

    Hypothyroidism, defined by elevated thyrotropin (TSH) levels, is a common endocrine complication in chronic kidney disease patients, and prior evidence shows that higher TSH levels, even within the normal laboratory range, are strongly associated with impaired quality of life and cardiovascular disease in this population. Levothyroxine is one of the most frequently prescribed medications in chronic kidney disease, yet its efficacy and safety in these patients have not been well-studied. Hence, this study will investigate 1) whether levothyroxine improves patient-centered (e.g., health-related quality of life, physical performance, strength) and 2) cardiovascular (e.g., coronary artery calcification, endothelial function, systolic function) outcomes in dialysis patients, and 3) if thyroid hormone replacement exerts classic metabolic effects (i.e., changes in body fat and resting energy expenditure) in this population.

  • Oral Armour Thyroid Compared to Synthetic T4 for the Treatment of Primary Hypothyroidism in Adult Participants

    open to eligible people ages 18-75

    This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Armour Thyroid treatment compared with synthetic T4 in subjects who have primary hypothyroidism and are currently stabilized (i.e., in-range thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH]) on synthetic T4 treatment. This study will also therefore evaluate the efficacy and safety of dose conversion from synthetic T4 therapy to Armour Thyroid therapy.

  • Optimizing Care for Older Adults Through Thyroid Hormone Deprescribing

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    The proposed study focuses on testing a novel adapted evidence-based multilevel intervention, Deprescribing Thyroid Hormone In Older Adults (D-THIO), to support thyroid hormone deprescribing (dose de-escalation and/or discontinuation) in older adults with thyroid hormone overtreatment and/or misuse and reduce patient harm. Findings from this study will lay the groundwork for broad implementation of D-THIO and serve as a model for deprescribing inappropriate medications for other endocrine conditions and conditions with biochemical monitoring.

  • Tirosint®-SOL or Tablet Formulations of Levothyroxine in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This is a multi-center, prospective, parallel-group, open-label, randomized clinical study in one hundred and twenty-six (126) neonates and infants diagnosed with CH. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to Treatment (Tirosint®-SOL) or Control (conventional therapy with levothyroxine sodium crushed tablets).
