Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Single Therapy | Levothyroxine (LT4) and placebo (a look-alike inactive substance, a sugar pill) Patients in the LT4 group will be started at a dose of 1.6 mcg/Kg (52 The VCU Investigational Pharmacy will over-encapsulate LT4 plus placebo, in AM and PM color coded capsules. Patients will be instructed to take the AM drug first thing in the morning with water only, and to wait at least 30 minutes before taking other medications coffee or breakfast. The PM dose will be taken at least 30 minutes before dinner. Dose adjustments will be performed at the 6-week and 3-month follow up visits by an unblinded endocrinologist (Dr. Yavuz) aiming to achieve and maintain a target TSH within the normal range and within ± 0.5 mcIU/ml from the baseline (pre-surgery) TSH, Doses will be rounded to the nearest available formulation.~Levothyroxine: levothyroxine sodium tablet for oral use~Placebo: inert sugar tablets for oral use blinding for treatment of hypothyroidism | 0 | 7 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Combination Therapy | Liothyronine/levothyroxine (LT3/LT4) combination therapy. LT4/LT3 group will have 25 mcg of LT4 substituted with 5 mcg LT3 twice daily, to mimic the average daily T3 production form the thyroid The VCU Investigational Pharmacy will over-encapsulate LT4 plus 5 mcg LT3 in AM and PM color coded capsules. Patients will be instructed to take the AM drug first thing in the morning with water only, and to wait at least 30 minutes before taking other medications coffee or breakfast. The PM dose will be taken at least 30 minutes before dinner. Dose adjustments will be performed at the 6-week and 3-month follow up visits by an unblinded endocrinologist (Dr. Yavuz) aiming to achieve and maintain a target TSH within the normal range and within ± 0.5 mcIU/ml from the baseline (pre-surgery) TSH, Doses will be rounded to the nearest available formulation. No changes will be made in LT3.~Levothyroxine: levothyroxine sodium tablet for oral use~Liothyronine: Liothyronine sodium tablets for oral use treatment of hypothyroidism | 0 | 6 | EG001 |
