Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old diagnosed with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, those under 18, or individuals who are pregnant or lactating will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational cohort study at Nantes University Hospital includes patients diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism to evaluate the outcomes associated with parathyroidectomy. Participants undergo clinical and biochemical assessments at baseline and at 6, 12, 36, and 60 months, regardless of whether they undergo surgery. The study aims to clarify the long-term effects of treatment versus observation on cardiovascular, renal, bone health, and quality of life. Additionally, a biocollection of fasting blood samples will be established to analyze biomarkers related to bone remodeling and cardiovascular risk.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term benefits of parathyroidectomy, potentially improving patient management and outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While there is ongoing debate regarding the surgical indications for mild forms of primary hyperparathyroidism, this study aims to contribute new data to an area with mixed evidence, making it a potentially novel approach.

NIRAF imaging to help parathyroid removal when preoperative tests don’t locate glands
This trial tests whether using an NIRAF camera during parathyroid surgery helps find and remove abnormal glands in people with primary hyperparathyroidism when prior imaging hasn’t pinpointed them.

18F‑Fluorocholine PET/MRI and NeuroEXPLORER PET/CT to locate parathyroid tumors
This trial will test whether 18F‑Fluorocholine PET/MRI and NeuroEXPLORER PET/CT scans can better find overactive or cancerous parathyroid glands in adults scheduled for surgery.
-
Amino acid transporter PET/CT imaging with MET/FET for AATS-related tumors
This project tries PET/CT scans using 11C- or 18F-labeled MET/FET tracers to see if they better find primary or metastatic lesions in adults with amino acid transporter–related tumors such as glioma and primary hyperparathyroidism.

Using 18F‑choline PET/CT versus ultrasound and sestamibi to locate diseased parathyroid glands
This trial tests whether 18F‑choline PET/CT can better locate diseased parathyroid glands than ultrasound and sestamibi scans in adults with primary hyperparathyroidism who are scheduled for surgery.
