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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Positive 4 dimensional computed tomography (4D CT) for single gland (adenoma) primary hyperparathyroidism
  • Preoperative serum calcium levels >= 10.9 mg/dL
  • Preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) elevated beyond normal range or inappropriately high for associated calcium level
  • Patient has no history of prior neck surgery or external radiation to neck for malignant conditions
  • Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =< 2
  • Subject or legal representative must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure

Who cannot join

  • Patient has recurrent hyperparathyroidism
  • 4D CT positive for multiple gland disease
  • Patient has inability to tolerate 4D CT scan (for example; contrast intravenous (IV) allergy, claustrophobia, renal disease)
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Pregnant or nursing female subjects; may be determined in the preoperative evaluation
  • Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
  • Any condition which in the investigator's opinion deems the subject an unsuitable candidate to undergo observational study (may also include preoperative testing results including electrocardiography [EKG], chest x-ray, or pulmonary function tests that preclude a wide excision in the operating room)

About this study

Official title: Single-Arm, Non-inferiority Study of Omission of Intraoperative Intact Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) During Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism

This clinical trial studies the omission of intact parathyroid hormone testing during surgery in treating patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Omission of intact parathyroid hormone testing during parathyroid gland removal may help patients with primary hyperparathyroidism to decrease their time under anesthesia, and decrease the overall time and cost of surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the non-inferiority of omission of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients who meet the biochemical and radiological criteria compared to current standard of care (i.e. use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone testing).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Cost-analysis to determine savings of omission of intraoperative PTH testing.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo standard minimally invasive parathyroidectomy without PTH testing during surgery.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 2 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cure of primary hyperparathyroidism following surgery with intraoperative PTH omission

    Will be evaluated using a binomial exact test. If all N=60 patients achieve cure then the proposed surgery with intraoperative PTH testing committed will be considered non inferior. A 95% confidence interval about pi will be obtained.

    Measured: At 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Post-operative cost analysis

    cost analysis will be based on operative time and omission of intraoperative PTH levels.

    Measured: At 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Parathyroidectomy in people with Parathyroid Gland Adenoma and Primary Hyperparathyroidism, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 12 Aug 2021. 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?

Cure of primary hyperparathyroidism following surgery with intraoperative PTH omission (time frame: At 2 weeks). 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 12 Aug 2021.
