Primary Hyperparathyroidism clinical trials at University of California Health

2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • 18F-Fluorocholine Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for the Detection of Parathyroid Adenomas

    open to eligible people ages 13 years and up

    This is a prospective single arm single center Phase III study evaluating the ability of 18F-fluorocholine to detect the location of parathyroid adenomas.

  • Near Infrared Autofluorescence (NIRAF) Detection for Identifying Parathyroid Glands During Parathyroidectomy

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The goal of this study is to assess whether using PTeye (AiBiomed, Santa Barbara, CA) - a NIRAF detection modality - can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare associated costs after parathyroid surgeries. By being able to quickly and definitively locate parathyroid glands while in the operating room, the duration of surgical procedure could be further reduced. In addition, the number of frozen section biopsy and associated costs can be minimized. Furthermore, repeat surgeries as a result of missing a diseased parathyroid gland at the time of the initial parathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism could potentially be avoided.
