Filter by:The primary objective was to assess the safety and tolerability of cinacalcet in adults with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) when administered as a single oral once daily doses for 6 consecutive weeks and twice daily for 15 consecutive days.
The development of outpatient surgery has become a national priority, with the objective of an ambulatory surgery rate of around 50% in 2016, whereas this rate reached only 37.7% in 2010. In the context of the management of primary hyperparathyroidism, there are two possible approaches. The first, which is commonly performed on an outpatient basis, consists in approaching only the pathological gland, if it was first identified by scintigraphy and ultrasound (which is the case in one patient in two), without exploring the others parathyroid glands. The reference technique consists in exploring the 4 parathyroid sites by transverse cervicotomy. Although more invasive, it minimizes the risk of failure due to the lack of knowledge of multi-glandular forms of the disease (15 to 20%), whose preoperative diagnosis is difficult. This reference technique is poorly performed on an outpatient basis while it lends itself to this type of management because of the superficial character of the operative site, a short operating time, moderate postoperative pain, rapid return oral nutrition and exceptional and early serious complications (delay <24 h for cervical hematoma, <24 h for hypocalcemia and immediate diagnosis of recurrent palsy). In this study, the investigators hypothesize that parathyroidectomy with 4-gland parathyroid exploration is feasible by ensuring patient safety. The investigators also believe that outpatient management will not lead to any difference after 3-month surgery, but will reduce hospitalization costs while increasing patient satisfaction with conventional care. To do so, the investigators carried out an observational cohort study of patients with an indication of parathyroidectomy wo will undergo outpatient management or conventional management (stay overnight in hospital) to inform all of these data.
This study will evaluate how Quadriceps Femoris muscle fatigue protocol affect the spatio-temporal gait parameters, gait symmetry and balance in individuals with primary hyperparathyroidism before and after parathyroidectomy. Study group will consist of 20 subjects with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and control group will consist of 20 healthy subjects.
The biological diagnosis of the primary hyperparathyroidism is now facilitated by the reliability of the balance of phosphate and calcium and the dosage of parathyroid hormone (PTH). This diagnosis of preoperative localization is important as surgery are now targeted to the responsible lesion. The "gold standard" for this localization is the cervical ultrasound exploring the usual sites of adenomas and a MIBI scintigraphy (the parathyroid adenoma significantly concentrating this cell marker). However, the diagnosis of preoperative localization remains a subject of discussion as to the most appropriate tests. Indeed, the morphological diagnosis is performed at the ultrasound stage in more than half the cases. It is the new performance of this morphological examination that makes it possible to obtain these results.
To evaluate the efficacy of KHK7580 orally administered up to 24 weeks for hypercalcemia in patient with parathyroid carcinoma or primary hyperparathyroidism who are unable to undergo parathyroidectomy or relapse after parathyroidectomy.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the percent change in baseline bone mineral density (BMD) starting at one year after parathyroidectomy and all the following available dates in patients presenting with primary hyperparathyroidism. The secondary objective is to identify patient factors associated with change in BMD.
This trial studies molecular and immunohistochemical profiling of tumors in patients with parathyroid tumors. Studying molecular and immunohistochemical profiling of tumors may help doctors avoid inconsistencies in diagnosis, unnecessary or incomplete surgery, surgical morbidity, psychological stress, and inadequate follow up.
The only known cure for primary hyperparathyroidism is surgical removal of one or more parathyroid glands. Some patients however, do not fulfill criteria for surgery or do not want to undergo a procedure due to fear of the associated risks. Therefore a medical alternative is warranted. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Denosumab alone, and in combination with Cinacalcet, as a medical treatment for patients suffering from primary hyperparathyroidism, with mild osteoporosis. To the best of our knowledge no previously reported randomized controlled trial has investigated the use of denosumab in primary hyperparathyroidism. 60 patients will be enrolled in three different treatment-groups: 20 receiving both Denosumab and Cinacalcet, 20 Denosumab and placebo and 20 placebo and placebo. Patients included do not meet the criteria for, or have no wish for a surgical procedure. By combining the two drugs, this study could possibly contribute to the discovery of a realistic medical alternative to surgery. It is expected that the therapy will be able to both control s-calcium and s-intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and simultaneously enhance bone-structure. The therapy thus has the potential of preventing fractures and possibly other long-term effects of primary hyperparathyroidism such as formation of kidney stones, and coronary calcification. Another objective of this project is to investigate whether the combined therapy can facilitate an actual reset of the Calcium-sensing receptor, and thereby de facto cure the disease.
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.
The aim of this study is to establish whether patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) have an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The primary outcome is to determine whether arterial stiffness and blood pressure will decrease in patients with mild PHPT 3-month after parathyroidectomy (PTX).
