Trial summary

Primary Hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) increases bone turnover and resorption and thus calcium efflux out of bone. After successful surgical treatment of pHPT, bone takes up calcium again which may result in secondary hyperparathyroidism or even "hungry bone syndrome". Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Does a Systematic Treatment Improve the Calcium and Bone Metabolism After Successful Surgery in Patients Without Osteoporosis?

Primary Hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) increases bone turnover and resorption and thus calcium efflux out of bone. After successful surgical treatment of pHPT, bone takes up calcium again which may result in secondary hyperparathyroidism or even "hungry bone syndrome". Until today there are no studies about this problem helping to develop recommendations or guidelines how to prevent these symptoms.

Study hypothesis: Calcium and vitamin D intake after surgery for PHPT protects the bone by keeping PTH in the normal range (less secondary, reactive hyperparathyroidism), prevents hungry bone- syndrome and improve bone-turnover markers (osteoporosis protection).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Calcium and vitamin D in people with Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Bone Metabolism, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Philipp Riss, MD (+43140400 ext. 5621, philipp.riss@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Parathyroid hormone (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Mar 2016.
