Quantitative Pharmacology-Based Dose Adjustment Protocol in Postoperative Thyroid Cancer Patients

Through pharmacometric approaches-including modeling, mathematics, and statistics-this work aims to refine the levothyroxine sodium tablet (brand name: Euthyrox) dosing strategy in post-thyroidectomy cancer patients, enabling individualized precision dosing to minimize side effects and maximize therapeutic outcomes.

  • Prior treatment for thyroid cancer, including surgery and/or pharmacological treatment.
  • Major surgery, including radiosurgery, or significant traumatic injury within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
  • History of another malignancy within 3 years prior to initiation of study treatment.
  • Known history of a positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test.
  • Known active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; chronic or resolved HBV or HCV infection is permitted.
  • Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency.
  • History of clinically significant drug allergy or atopic allergic disease (e.g., asthma, urticaria, or eczematous dermatitis), or known hypersensitivity to Euthyrox (levothyroxine sodium) or any of its excipients.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding females.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. TFT panel (TSH, FT3, FT4, TT3, TT4, TPOAb, TGAb)

    Time frame: Preoperatively after enrollment, 19:00 on the day of surgery, and before medication on postoperative day 1 (patients accurately recorded the administration time to the minute; the medication time was set at 7:00), 7:30, 8:00, 8:30, and 9:00 on postoperat

    Using mathematical and statistical methods (PopPK/PD) grounded in quantitative pharmacology to quantitatively describe, explain, and predict drug effects in vivo.
