Trial summary

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in the ambulatory setting. PHPT may be cured with surgery and indications for intervention have been defined and include urinary calcium/creatinine clearance. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Optimal Hydrochlorothiazide Cessation in Diagnosis of Hyperparathyroidism

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in the ambulatory setting. PHPT may be cured with surgery and indications for intervention have been defined and include urinary calcium/creatinine clearance. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), the most commonly prescribed medication for hypertension, reduces urinary calcium excretion and confounds urinary testing. As a result, it is universally recommended that thiazide diuretics be stopped in advance of urinary testing. To date, no studies are available to provide evidence-based guidance as to how long HCTZ must be held for urinary calcium excretion to return to steady state in PHPT. The objective of this study is to serially calculate urinary calcium/creatinine clearance ration in patients with suspected PHPT while holding HCTZ to determine the minimum duration of medication cessation necessary for urinary calcium clearance to reach steady state.

Read the detailed description

In this study, adult patients will submit serum and 24 hour urine samples prior to HCTZ cessation and at the following intervals after cessation: 4-6 days, 14-16 days, 28-30 days, adn 90-92 days. To minimize confounding variable, patients will take supplemental Vitamin D and Calcium, monitor their daily calcium intake, and monitor blood pressure weekly. Alternative, non-diuretic, antihypertensive medication(s) may be prescribed at the discretion of the enrolling provider.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HCTZ cessation in people with Hyperparathyroidism, run by University of Missouri-Columbia at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 8 Jan 2018. 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 United States. 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?

Number of days for Calcium/Creatinine Clearance to normalize after stopping HCTZ (time frame: 2-3 years). 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 8 Jan 2018.
