Study of the Thyroid Function and Echostructural Morphology in Patients Affected With Rasopathies (ECORAS2023)

Study on Thyroid Disease in Patients with Genetic Disorders Affecting Growth and Development (RASopathy)

Recruiting
3-25 years
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates thyroid disease in people with a condition called RASopathy, which is a group of genetic disorders affecting growth and development. The study examines thyroid problems such as hyperthyroidism (excessive hormone production), hypothyroidism (insufficient hormone production), and thyroid nodules (lumps in the thyroid).

The study will include patients aged 3 to 25 years who have RASopathy confirmed by genetic testing. Participants will undergo blood tests to assess thyroid function and bone health, as well as a thyroid ultrasound to detect changes in size, structure, and blood flow. The study will compare these findings with those in the general population.

  • Who can participate: Children and young adults aged 3 to 25 years with a genetic diagnosis of RASopathy. Participants should not have had radiation treatments, iodine deficiency, congenital hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism, severe obesity with metabolic complications, or certain thyroid conditions
  • Study details: Participants will have blood tests and a thyroid ultrasound to check for thyroid and bone health issues. The study will compare these results with those from people without RASopathy

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
