  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female patient 18 years or older.
  • Patients with diagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism (clinical symptoms and/or biochemical disturbances) scheduled for parathyroidectomy.
  • One diseased parathyroid gland, visualized by ultrasonography.
  • The diseased targeted parathyroid gland accessible for HIFU treatment (anonymised ultrasonographic images to be sent to the sponsor's technical team for validation).
  • Normal pretreatment nasofibroscopy.
  • Voluntary signed informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Inaccessibility or high risk of targeting neighbouring structures, as evidenced by:
  • Targeted area located less than 2 mm laterally from the oesophagus or the carotid artery
  • Targeted area located less than 3 mm laterally from the trachea,
  • Significant hyperechoic area with a posterior shadow located less than 10 mm behind the targeted area (behind to be understood as posterior to the targeted area in the direction of the HIFU beam)
  • Investigator appreciation of any abnormal blood test that could contraindicate treatment with HIFU (bleeding abnormalities)
  • Known spondylitis of the neck vertebrae

About this study

Official title: Observation of Histological Changes in Parathyroid Adenomas Following High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)Treatment Procedure: A Monocentre, Open, Uncontrolled Study

This study is a multicentre, open, uncontrolled trial for the observation of histological changes in parathyroid adenomas following high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

This study will be conducted in France in 10 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism scheduled for a parathyroidectomy. The patient will receive an HIFU treatment in the center of the adenoma before the surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasonic ablation device in people with Primary Parathyroid Adenomas, run by Theraclion at 2 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 13 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Histology of excised gland. (time frame: After surgery performed the same day as High intensity focused ultrasound treatment). 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 6 May 2014.
