Trial summary

The leading cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a solitary adenoma (89%). The treatment of pHPT is generally surgical removal of the overactive parathyroid gland(s). Since a solitary adenoma is the predominant cause, parathyroid surgery is preferably performed through a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy… 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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This is a retrospective single-center cohort study of patients with biochemically proven pHPT who underwent parathyroid surgery after localization by means of 11C-choline PET/CT and negative or discordant first-line imaging in a teaching and tertiary referral hospital in the Netherlands between 2015 and 2019.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients eligible for inclusion were ≥18 years old, diagnosed with biochemically confirmed pHPT, underwent a MIBI-SPECT/CT and/or cUS with negative or discordant results, and underwent a 11C-choline PET/CT followed by parathyroidectomy.

Who cannot join

  • Patients were excluded if they were known to have a germline mutation predisposing for familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH).

About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Analysis of the Diagnostic Performance of 11C-choline PET/CT for Detection of Hyperfunctioning Parathyroid Glands After Prior Negative or Discordant Imaging in Primary Hyperparathyroidism

The leading cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a solitary adenoma (89%). The treatment of pHPT is generally surgical removal of the overactive parathyroid gland(s). Since a solitary adenoma is the predominant cause, parathyroid surgery is preferably performed through a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) in which only the suspected adenoma causing the pHPT is resected in a focused manner. To facilitate the performance of a MIP, accurate preoperative imaging is pivotal. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic performance of 11C-choline PET/CT after prior negative or discordant first-line imaging in patients with pHPT undergoing parathyroid surgery with an optimized imaging protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Primary Hyperparathyroidism Due to Adenoma, run by University Medical Center Groningen.

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 1 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 16 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Sensitivity of 11C-choline PET/CT (time frame: Until 6 months after parathyroid surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Apr 2024.
