Current Primary Outcome Measures  ICMJE
 (submitted: March 27, 2019)		 Complete Remission Rate (Expressed as Percentage of Patients in Complete Remission) at 18 Months Post-RAI Treatment; ITT Analysis Set [ Time Frame: At 18 months post-RAI treatment ]
Patients were defined to be in complete remission if all of the following criteria were demonstrated:
  1. Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels <1 nanograms / millilitre (ng/mL) during rhTSH stimulation, in the absence of interfering Tg antibodies, as assessed by standardised central laboratory analysis.
  2. No confirmed evidence of thyroid cancer on neck ultrasound, as assessed by investigator site review.
  3. No confirmed radiological evidence of thyroid cancer, as assessed by blinded independent central review.
  4. No histopathological evidence of thyroid cancer on fine needle aspiration (FNA)/biopsy when performed, as assessed by investigator site review.
  5. No further thyroid cancer therapy was administered in the first 18 months following the initial RAI treatment.
Original Primary Outcome Measures  ICMJE
 (submitted: April 29, 2013)
  • Complete remission rate in overall study population [ Time Frame: Measured at 18 months post radioactive iodine treatment ]
  • Complete remission rate in sub-group of patients with tumours known to be mutation positive for v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 or NRAS [ Time Frame: Measured at 18 months post radioactive iodine treatment ]

    3. No evidence of thyroid cancer on diagnostic whole body scan (WBS), as assessed by blinded independent central review.
    4. No histopathological evidence of thyroid cancer on FNA/biopsy when performed to clarify equivocal ultrasound findings, as assessed by investigator site review.
    5. No further thyroid cancer therapy was administered in the first 18 months following the initial RAI treatment.
  • Clinical Remission Rate (Expressed as Percentage of Patients in Clinical Remission) at 18 Months Post-RAI Treatment; Subgroup Analysis BRAF/NRAS Mutation Positive [ Time Frame: At 18 months post-RAI treatment ]
