How well does Thyrogen(Thyrotropin Alfa) work?

A summary of the drug's performance in clinical studies.

Clinical Effectiveness

Clinical trials demonstrated that THYROGEN is effective as a diagnostic adjunct, though its stimulated thyroglobulin levels are generally lower than those achieved after thyroid hormone withdrawal. When used for remnant ablation, studies showed high success rates comparable to thyroid hormone withdrawal, with no definitive cancer recurrence differences observed during follow-up periods of several years. It significantly improves patient quality of life compared to the hypothyroid state induced by hormone withdrawal.
