| Main Objective: Valuate the power of metformin in asymptomatic patients with high-risk DTC, i.e. individuals with minimally progressive metastatic disease without specific symptoms. This will be evaluated on the basis of two main endpoints: 1) "clinical benefit rate", namely the percentage of patients with complete or partial response or with stable disease 2)Tg level over the time;Secondary Objective: na;Primary end point(s): 1) Progression-free survival (PFS); 2) Tg levels have been trending over time.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at least 18 months | — |
