About this study

Official title: Advancing Product Development for Hypoparathyroidism: A Prospective Natural History Study of the Clinical Outcomes and Regulation of Disordered Mineral Metabolism

This is a prospective three-year natural history study of adults with hypoparathyroidism. The goal is to monitor patients with hypoparathyroidism to define end-organ damage in the context of the disease.

The study objectives are to:

  1. Build a prospective cohort of patients to study HPT-associated end-organ damage.
  2. Determine end-organ physiologic consequences of HPT.
  3. Elucidate determinants of HPT-associated end-organ damage.

Funding Source - FDA OOPD

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is to prospectively collect data on the natural history of hypoparathyroidism (HPT). This will enable longitudinal data collection of complications in this disease, specifically defining the epidemiology of end-organ complications of HPT that are related to high calcification propensity. It will also determine relationships between calcification burden and end-organ disease severity and progression risk and assess the utility of traditional and novel biomarkers of mineral and bone metabolism on disease diagnosis and monitoring. These data will inform future investigations on the development, study, and implementation of HPT end-organ disease modifying strategies and impact clinical practice in hypoparathyroidism.

What is being measured

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

  1. Kidney function

    blood test for changes in eGFR (in mL/min/1.73m^2)

    Measured: baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 Months

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Kidney calcification

    Changes in kidney calcification and stones will be assessed by abdominal CT in an optional imaging sub group. Results will be assessed and reported by a clinician.

    Measured: Baseline and 36 Months

  2. Brain calcification

    Changes in brain calcification will be assessed by head CT in an optional imaging sub-group. Results will be assessed and reported by a clinician.

    Measured: Baseline and 36 Months

  3. Vascular calcification

    Changes in vascular calcification will be assessed by leg arterial calcifications on high resolution quantitative computed tomography in all, and aortic calcifications on abdominal CT and vertebral fracture assessment by DXA in optional imaging sub-group

    Measured: Baseline and 36 Months

  4. Bone mineral density

    Changes in dual energy X-ray absorptiometry will be assessed in an optional imaging sub-group

    Measured: Baseline and 36 Months

  5. Bone microarchitecture and bone strength

    Changes in high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography will be assessed

    Measured: Baseline and 36 Months

  6. Cardiac function

    Changes in EKG will be assessed

    Measured: Baseline and 36 Months

  7. Transcriptomic signaling for calcification

    Changes in microRNA will be assessed

    Measured: Baseline and 36 Months

  8. Biomarkers blood

    Changes in complete metabolic panel to see changes with eGFR (including albumin-corrected serum calcium), PTH, phosphorus, magnesium, 25(OH)D, 25(OH)D2, TSH, FT4.

    Measured: baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 Months

  9. Biomarkers urine

    24 hour urine will be collected for changes in calcium, creatinine, total volume and protein

    Measured: baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 Months

  10. Dietary Intake

    Food frequency questionnaires will be administered to measure changes in calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and sodium intake

    Measured: baseline, 12, 24 and 36 Months

  11. Cognitive Function

    Changes in cognitive function will be assessed by NIH Toolbox®; Letter Fluency by the Controlled Oral Word Association Test with the letters FAS; Sematic Fluency by Animal Fluency; List Learning and Memory by the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test; subjective cognitive function by FACT-Cog

    Measured: baseline, 12, 24 and 36 Months

  12. Neurologic Tests of Motor Function

    Repeated Chair Stand (RCS) test will be administered to see how many times a patient can sit in and stand from a chair in 30 seconds and "Timed Up and Go" Test will measure how many seconds it takes for a patient to walk to assess changes in motor function

    Measured: baseline, 12, 24 and 36 Months

  13. Quality of Life Through Self-Reported Questionnaires

    Quality of life will be assessed by SF-36, FACIT-IF (self-reported fatigue), PGI-S and PGI-I (patient global impression of severity and impact), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the HPT Symptom Diary and changes will be tracked through visits

    Measured: baseline, 12, 24 and 36 Months

  14. Calcioprotein Maturation Time

    Will be obtained through blood collection and measured in minutes and changes will be tracked through visits

    Measured: Baseline and 36 months

  15. Sclerostin

    Will be obtained through blood collection and measured in pmol/L and changes will be tracked through visits

    Measured: Baseline and 36 months

  16. FGF23

    Will be obtained through blood collection and measured in pg/mL and changes will be tracked through visits

    Measured: Baseline and 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoparathyroidism, run by Columbia University 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 5 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2025. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Noelle Texeira (212-305-2801, ngt2115@cumc.columbia.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Kidney function (time frame: baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 Months). 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 Dec 2025.
