Trial summary

The investigators hypothesise that parathyroid hormon (PTH) depletion interferes with normal activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS), which in turn may impact morbidity and quality of life. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Postsurgical hypoparathyroidism of at least one year duration. Undetectable PTH values (< 0.3 pmol/l) or less than 1.3 pmol/l despite hypocalcaemia (Reference range PTH: 1.3-6.8 pmol/L) must be documented before inclusion. 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) should be > 50 nmol/l prior to baseline.
  • Healthy male and female volunteers, aged 18-60 years
  • Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, defined as simultaneous increased PTH and serum calcium levels, normal or increased urine calcium to exclude hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, normal kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) above 60), aged 18-60 years

Who cannot join

  • Patients with diabetes mellitus, Addison's disease and patients on steroid medication will not be included in this study.
  • Other exclusion criteria are unstable cardiovascular disease, active malignant disease, epilepsy, pregnancy or lactation, significant hepatic or kidney disease (alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) > 2 times upper limit of normal, eGFR < 30 ml/min), pharmacological treatment with PTH the last 3 months, treatment with other drugs that could interfere with interpretation of the results. Allergy to metacresol, lidocaine or multiple allergies.

About this study

The investigators hypothesise that parathyroid hormon (PTH) depletion interferes with normal activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS), which in turn may impact morbidity and quality of life. The main objective of the current study is to test if PTH deficiency influences the secretion of corticosteroids and whether any abnormalities in the HPA-axis and the RAAS-system can be reversed by PTH infusion.

Read the detailed description

Visit 1: Optimizing conventional treatment regarding s-magnesium, s-calcium, s-phosphorous and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)-levels.

Visit 2 (In-hospital 4-7 days): Day one: 24h microdialysis sampling, venous blood sampling and 24h urine will be collected. Day 2: Start of PTH pump-treatment. Day 3-x: dose adjustment of PTH pump therapy according to Calcium Levels, the first two days after started PTH six daily venous blood-samplings will be performed. Day x: 24h microdialysis sampling and 24h urine-sampling and a venous blood sampling. Restart of conventional treatment.

The Control patients (healthy volunteers and patients with hyperparathyroidism) will perform 24h microdialysis-sampling only.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • parathyroid hormon 1-84Drug

    Also called Natpara

    Hypoparathyroidism patients will receive Natpara in continous subcutaneous infusion delivered by a pump for 4-7 days.

Study groups in NCT02986607
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HypoparathyroidismExperimentalSubcutaneous 24h microdialysis before PTH treatment and during continous subcutaneous PTH treatment. PTH, Natpara (parathyroid hormone 1-84) 50 µg doses with a concentration of 800 µg/ml, will be delivered by an insulin-pump (OmniPod) which delivers the infusion gear continous subcutaneously based on units (U) of insulin. 1 µg Natpara equals 0.125 U of infusion. The starting dose for pump treatment will be 0.50 µg per kilo per day and adjusted according to Calcium levels. Controls: patients With hyperparathyroidism and healthy volunteers will perform 24h microdialysis.
Receives: Drug: parathyroid hormon 1-84

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Corticosteroid secretion in hypoparathyroid patients

    Evaluating of 24h corticosteroid secretion with PTH versus without PTH in hypoparathyroid patients with undetectable PTH-values

    Measured: One week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing parathyroid hormon 1-84 in people with Hypoparathyroidism and Hyperparathyroidism, run by University of Bergen at 1 site in Norway.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 27 Oct 2017. 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 Norway. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 Marianne Astor, MD (40825265 ext. 0047, marianne.astor@helse-bergen.no), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Corticosteroid secretion in hypoparathyroid patients (time frame: One week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02986607, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Oct 2017.
