Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary objectives •To evaluate the efficacy of metformin on female fertility who were subjected to 131l treatment – ovarian reserve markers which are shown as AMH, inhibin B and FSH level in serum and antral follicle count checked by ultrasound.;Secondary Objective: Safety Objectives •Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) and changes in laboratory measurements Exploratory objectives •Patient reported outcome (PRO) for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaires (QLQ-THY34) •Medical Resource Utilization (MRU) ;Primary end point(s): •The primary endpoint will be to evaluate the effect of metformin on the difference in serum AMH, inhibin B and FSH concentration and the number of antral follicles in ultrasonography, between the study groups in women with papillary thyroid cancer treated with 131I, between the randomized visit and V3, V4, V5 and V6 visit;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: On a visit of 2 – m3, a visit of 3 – m6 and a visit of 4 -m9 and one year after administration of I131. The first interim analysis will be performed when 15% of the participants have completed the annual observation period according to the protocol. The second interim analysis will be performed when 45% of the participants have completed the one-year observation period according to the protocol.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • To evaluate the effect of metformin on the difference in serum concentration of selected parameters of oxidative stress between the study groups in women with papillary thyroid cancer treated with 131I between the randomized visit and V3, V4, V5 and V6 visit • To evaluate the effect of metformin on the difference in serum concentration of selected parameters of apoptosis between the study groups in women with papillary thyroid cancer treated with 131I between the randomized visit and V3, V4, V5 and V6 visit • To evaluate the effect of metformin on the difference of expression in selected microRNA between the study groups in women with papillary thyroid cancer treated with 131I between the randomized visit and V3, V4, V5 and V6 visit • Assessment of the quality of life using the QLQ-THY34 questionnaire dedicated to patients with thyroid cancer • Characteristics and tolerability of standard metformin dosage in patient with papillary thyroid cancer • Frequency of AEs requiring discontinuation of study drug or dose reduction • Change in basic laboratory assessment between visits ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: On a visit of 2 – m3, a visit of 3 – m6 and a visit of 4 -m9 and one year after administration of I131. The first interim analysis will be performed when 15% of the participants have completed the one-year observation period according to the protocol. The second interim analysis will be conducted when 45% of the participants have completed the annual observation period according to the protocol.
