Filter by:The study aims to update current knowledge about the epidemiology of pituitary tumours (PiT), based on the wide body of scientific literature on new familial and/or syndromic forms. Although inherited predisposition is increasingly recognized, its clinical relevance in unselected series of PiT patients has not been specifically addressed. In addition, it is likely that further recognition of peculiar associations between PiT and other endocrine and/or non-endocrine neoplasia will further increase the spectrum of syndromic forms. Since the identification of inherited forms of PiT may have significant clinical implications in terms of patients management and familial screening, we aim to collect any relevant information in order to estimate their prevalence in a large unselected series of PiT patients and provide new clues for a modern clinical approach to these patients.
Assess the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of etelcalcetide in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in pediatric subjects between ≥ 2 to < 18 years of age, with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis
Swallow related quality of life before and after parathyroidectomy will be evaluated in patients with primary hyperparathyridism.
The proposed study will investigate the effects of etelcalcetide on the bone and blood-vessel health in patients with CKD-MBD. The investigators will test if etelcalcetide makes bone and blood-vessels healthier. The study hypotheses are that are that etelcalcetide keeps bones strong and lowers the risk of calcium deposits in blood vessels. In Aim 1, the investigators will test if 9-months of treatment with etelcalcetide improves bone strength in twenty ESKD patients with hyperparathyroidism (HPT) by bone biopsy. In Aim 2, the investigators will test if 9-months of treatment with etelcalcetide decreases serum propensity to calcify blood vessels. The potential significance of this study is to provide first-time data on the ability of etelcalcetide to protect bone and blood-vessel health in patients with ESKD.
This is a prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate change of cardiovascular calcification after parathyroidectomy in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis compared with control group on conservative treatment.
Patients with biochemically confirmed primary hyperparathyroidism and non-localizing SPECT-CT exam within the past year will be included. Subjects will be treated with calcitonin to lower calcium levels immediately prior to reimaging. The goal of this study is to determine whether lowering calcium will improve uptake/retention of sestamibi and improve sensitivity of SPECT-CT to localize parathyroid adenoma.
The goal of this study is to: 1. Analyze the expression levels of circulating (serum) miRNAs in primary hyperparathyroidism patients with and without osteoporosis, and patients with osteoporosis undergoing thyroidectomy, and to correlate with clinical markers of bone remodeling including biochemical and radiologic studies. 2. To evaluate serum miRNA levels after treatment with parathyroidectomy.
Despite the strong association of hyperparathyroidism with arachidonic acid related lipid signals, little research has been performed over the years. A better understanding of the link between arachidonic acid remodeling, prostaglandin and endocannabinoid production with primary hyperparathyroidism in primary tissue/cells might open up new avenues for biomarker and thus to a potential therapeutic target. Arachidonic acid remodeling might also have an impact on depression and elevated cytokines in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. The investigators therefore will assess the correlation between postoperative improvement of PHQ-9 and cytokine levels with arachidonic acid remodeling.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of KHK7580 orally administered once daily for 52 weeks compared to cinacalcet hydrochloride as an active control in subjects with secondary hyperparathyroidism receiving hemodialysis in China, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with SK-1403 for 24 weeks in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism on maintenance hemodialysis.
