Active clinical trials for "Parathyroid Neoplasms"

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the quality of recovery with topical lidocaine is better than placebo.

This study will see if the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with an FDA-cleared device 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands (PGs) during parathyroidectomy (PTx) procedures is better than a surgeon's detection alone. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in PTx patients where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.

The question proposed by this study, is one of patient outcomes. Does intraoperative injection of Exparel decrease postoperative use of opioid pain medications in patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery? The trial seeks to assess the effect that Exparel has on postoperative pain control.

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

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.

This study is to collect and validate regulatory-grade real-world data (RWD) in oncology using the novel, Master Observational Trial construct. This data can be then used in real-world evidence (RWE) generation. It will also create reusable infrastructure to allow creation or affiliation with many additional RWD/RWE efforts both prospective and retrospective in nature.

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 (PGs) during parathyroidectomy (PTx) procedures. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in PTx patients where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.

Parathyroid glands are in the neck and produce a substance called parathormone which maintains the calcium level in the blood. Sometimes one or more of the parathyroid glands become hyperactive and produce too much parathormone which causes increased calcium in the blood which can cause ill effects on multiple parts of the body. Hyperactive glands are identified by Tc-99m Sestamibi (MIBI) scan which helps the surgeons to remove them with minimal risk to the patient. But about 30% of the time MIBI scan does not localize the hyperactive gland. There is some evidence that a new agent called F-18 PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) can localize hyperactive parathyroid. This study is being done to collect preliminary data to answer the question: Can imaging with the PET tracer, F-18 PSMA (Pylarify), prior to parathyroid surgery, provide better information to a surgeon than the standard of care imaging with MIBI scan? Patients who are scheduled for parathyroidectomy and are scheduled for imaging with MIBI scan prior to surgery will be asked to take part in this study. This is a single institutional study to collect preliminary data to help do a larger study. Participants will get MIBI scan first, and the same day will get an F-18 PSMA scan which involves an injection in the vein, waiting an hour, and imaging of the neck and chest area for 10 minutes. The findings of F-18 PSMA will not interfere with the participant's management. Patients who participate will not directly benefit by participating in this study. If the scanning method using F-18 PSMA shows better results than MIBI scan (standard of care) then the investigators will conduct a larger multi-institutional study. If the results prove that F-18 PSMA is better than the standard of care in the larger study, then patients with hyperactive parathyroid patients in the future will benefit.

The main aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of post-operative diagnosis of PC and atypical parathyroid neoplasm in patients who underwent surgery for pHPT in different European centers using the EUROCRINE® database. Moreover, we aim to evaluate the peri-operative surgical characteristics, operation extent, postoperative morbidity, and outcomes in these patients category.

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.
