Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to determine a possible input of C11-Choline PET/CT in identification and localization of a parathyroid adenoma (PTA). Preoperative localization of a PTA has been previously documented in multiple series, and is usually based on scintigraphy and on US. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of the study is to determine a possible input of C11-Choline PET/CT in identification and localization of a parathyroid adenoma (PTA).

Preoperative localization of a PTA has been previously documented in multiple series, and is usually based on scintigraphy and on US.

Currently, the conventional technique for localization of a PTA is a dual-isotope scan with Tc99m-MIBI and Tc99m pertechnetate. This study is acquired over at least 3 hours, includes two i.v. injections and the patient has to stay 15-30 min per acquisition under the camera.

In addition, there is no anatomical imaging and further correlation with US is usually recommended.

In contrast, PET/CT study with C11-Choline takes as long as 10 min., includes one injection, and provides data of higher resolution of functional (PET) and anatomical imaging (CT).

Furthermore, dosimetric data shows that the total effective dose from Tc99mMIBI and Tc99m pertechnetate injection is (without CT): 0.5957 rem; and from C11-Choline injection and CT of a chest is: 0.3128 - 0.8628rem.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperparathyroidism, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 15 Oct 2010. 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Marina Orevi, MD (0508946211, marinaor@hadassah.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improved localization of a parathyroid adenoma. 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 15 Oct 2010.
