Filter by:Long-term conventional treatment of chronic hypoparathyroidism does not fully restore calcium homeostasis leading to increased morbidity, emergency events and reduced subjective health status. To further investigate general morbidity, hypocalcemic events, subjective and daily life performance in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism a standardized interview as well as blood sampling and examinations such as echocardiography and renal ultrasound are performed.
This study describes a single center, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial to assess the clinical benefits of the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with an FDA-cleared device 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.
This main aim of this study is to check the level of knowledge and assess attitudes and behaviors of both participants and prescribing physicians regarding the risks and safe use of NATPARA. The survey will be done via internet, telephone, or paper and participants will be able to choose the method that is preferred. No study medicines will be provided to patients in this study.
This study is limited to conduct in China only. The primary objective is to assess the treatment effect of daily TransCon PTH on serum calcium (sCa) levels within the normal range and stopping from therapeutic doses of active vitamin D (calcitriol) or active vitamin D analogue (alfacalcidol) and calcium at 26 weeks of treatment. All subjects will start with 18 mcg of study drug and will be individually and progressively titrated to an optimal dose over a 26-week double blind period, followed by an open label extension period up to 156 weeks. TransCon PTH or placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled injection pen. Neither trial participants nor their doctors will know who has been assigned to each group. After the 26 weeks, participants will continue in the trial as part of a long-term extension study. During the extension, all participants will receive TransCon PTH, with the dose adjusted to their individual needs.
Prospective, observational, single-center study about the use of indocyanine green angiography during total thyroidectomy. The main objective of the study is to identify a quantitative score of parathyroid vascularization as an outcome of angiography that correlates with the absence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism. It is planned to enroll 66 patients.
This study is investigating the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of AZP-3601 following single and repeated administration in both healthy volunteers and patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism (cHP) The protocol includes 3 parts: - Part A: first-in-human single ascending dose (SAD) study in healthy volunteers - Part B: multiple ascending dose (MAD) study with 2 weeks of treatment in healthy volunteers - Part C: open-label MAD study with a total treatment duration of 3 months in patients with cHP.
This multicenter registry study aims to understand the status of diagnosis and treatment, quality of life, medical costs and unmet medical needs of adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism in China.
The idea of the project is to develop a method of treatment of postoperative hypoparathyroidism using cultured allogenic parathyroid cells.
The parathyroid glands and their blood vessels are notoriously difficult to visualize and may therefore be unintentionally and irrevocably damaged during thyroid surgery. This project investigates new surgeon-performed imaging techniques that visualize the parathyroid glands and their vessels in real-time during thyroid surgery. The purpose is to examine, in a matched cohort study, whether the implementation of near-infrared-induced autofluorescence for identification of the parathyroid glands, combined with indocyanine green near-infrared angiography of the parathyroid feeding vessels, can reduce the incidence of postoperative hypocalcaemia in patients undergoing total and completion thyroidectomy at Odense University Hospital.
- Hypoparathyroidism (and the resulting hypocalcemia) remains the most common morbidity after a total thyroidectomy. - The identification and preservation of parathyroid glands during neck surgery has always been challenging but is crucial to avoid postoperative hypocalcemia. - Recently, the specific autofluorescent characteristics of endogenous fluorophores in the parathyroid tissue have been used to detect and confirm parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. - Injecting indocyanine green and using its fluorescent characteristics has the advantage of adding information about the vascular supply of the parathyroid glands. - This randomized clinical trial aims to investigate whether using autofluorescence and indocyanine green during thyroid surgery can predict or prevent postoperative hypocalcemia.
