Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma and measurable disease progression.

Probably not a fit

Patients with early-stage medullary thyroid carcinoma or those who have not shown disease progression may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to observe the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib capsules in patients with advanced medullary thyroid carcinoma. It focuses on gathering real-world data to summarize treatment experiences among a diverse patient population. Participants will be monitored for disease progression and treatment response using established evaluation criteria. The study is designed to provide insights into the effectiveness of Anlotinib in a clinical setting.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced medullary thyroid carcinoma.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored targeted therapies for medullary thyroid carcinoma, but the specific use of Anlotinib in this context is less common, making this approach somewhat novel.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Complicated diseases and history:

  1. Patients currently have or had other malignancies within 3 years. Patients with the following two conditions can be included in the group: Continuous 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was achieved for other malignancies treated with a single operation. Cured cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer, and superficial bladder tumors \[Ta (non-invasive tumor), Tis (carcinoma in situ) and T1 (the tumor infiltrates the basal membrane)\];
