Thyroid Cancer Trial Phases
25 research organizations are sponsoring thyroid cancer trials.
About Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer develops in the thyroid gland and is the most common endocrine malignancy. Most thyroid cancers are highly treatable with excellent prognosis. Types include papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for thyroid cancer. Currently, 45 studies are recruiting a combined 12,810 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 25 organizations including National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Washington University School of Medicine and 22 others.
2026 Thyroid Cancer Research Landscape
As of July 2026, the thyroid cancer clinical trial landscape includes 45 actively recruiting studies across 43 cities in the United States. These studies are collectively seeking 12,810 participants, with an average enrollment target of 285 per study.
The research spans multiple phases of development: 11 studies are in PHASE2, 10 studies are in NA, 5 studies are in PHASE1, 2 studies are in PHASE3. The presence of Phase 3 trials indicates that some thyroid cancer treatments are in late-stage testing and may be approaching regulatory review.
Research is being led by 25 different organizations, including National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Washington University School of Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Georgetown University, and 20 others.

Natural History of Medullary Thyroid Cancer to Inform Advanced Disease Management
This study utilizes a multi-institutional registry to describe the natural history of medullary thyroid cancer that has spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) in understanding disease management. The goal of this study is to learn about how medullary thyroid cancer develops and progresses.
