Parathyroid Disease Clinical Trials

We are looking for adults 18 years of age and older with hypoparathyroidism (at time of consent) to take part in a clinical research study. The purpose of the PARALLAX Study is to measure the safety and tolerability of an injectable study drug and its effects on calcium levels in ...

This is a prospective randomized controlled study.In the experimental group, the suture parathyroid marker method was used to mark the parathyroid gland at the first time when it shows, and this marker was further used to identify and locating the inferior parathyroid marker in subsequent central region dissection. In the ...

A study team member will give the participant a copy of the informed consent form to read. Participants will have a chance to ask questions about the study before agreeing to participate. If participants agree, they will be randomly chosen to receive one of two options for pain management that ...

Fresh residual tissue samples will be obtained during parathyroid and/or pancreas tumor intervention (for pancreas tumor intervention in MEN1 patients with hyperparathyroidism and pancreatic lesions). In addition, outside paraffin tissue blocks or slides will be requested from patients presenting to MDACC, or to participating family members who have had prior ...

The EUROCRINE project aims to decrease morbidity and mortality of rare endocrine tumours, by means of a pan-European database. Recording and accessing data at the European level, makes it possible to identify these tumours, which cannot be distinguished at local or national level, because of their extreme rarity. Dissemination of ...

Researchers aim to identify somatic mutations and inherited genetic variants which may help predict the development of PNET in patients with hyperparathyroidism.

If participant or participant's child agrees to take part in this study, information from the medical record will be recorded and entered into a research database at MD Anderson. Researchers will use this data to learn more about participant's or participant's child's current or suspected illness, surgery, and/or recovery as ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Psychiatric and Cognitive Phenotypes in Velocardiofacial Syndrome (VCFS), Williams Syndrome (WS)and Fragile X Syndrome Characterization, Treatment and Examining the Connection to Developmental and Molecular Factors

This sample collection protocol allows for the identification, recruitment, and participation in women who are pregnant and are known to: be at an increased risk for fetal genetic abnormalities be at increased risk for congenital fetal infection by virtue of being positive by initial screening tests, or are known to ...

Patient charts will be reviewed to collect demographic data, pre-operative and post-operative clinical and laboratory data, operative reports, and pathology reports. Archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks from surgical specimens of patients will be stained for parafibromin to evaluate for HRPT2 mutations.
