Primary hyperparathyroidism

This study tests a new daily pill called YCT-529 for male contraception. It involves 88 healthy men who have decided not to have children. The pill is taken for 28, 90, or 180 days to check its safety, side effects, and how well it works. This is an early step toward giving men a…

This study is testing a procedure called EUS-RFA, which uses a thin needle guided by ultrasound to heat and destroy small tumors in the pancreas or adrenal glands. About 138 participants will receive this treatment as part of their standard care and be followed for up to 5 years.…

This study tests whether a new type of PET scan using a radioactive tracer called 18F-FCH can more accurately locate overactive parathyroid glands or tumors before surgery. About 193 adults scheduled for parathyroid removal will receive both the new scans and a standard 4D-CT sca…

This study looks at whether a blood test for a protein called hPG80 can help find neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) earlier in people with MEN1, a genetic condition that raises tumor risk. About 297 participants with MEN1 will give blood samples, which will be compared to standard ima…

This study is testing whether a special PET/CT scan using an amino acid tracer can better detect tumors in people with amino acid transport disorders, primary hyperparathyroidism, or glioma. About 500 adults will receive a single injection of the tracer and then get scanned. The …

This study looks at whether a fermented whey protein and fiber supplement can improve digestive comfort in recreational athletes. Researchers will enroll 114 participants, some with and some without stomach complaints, and compare the supplement to a placebo. The goal is to see i…

This study tests a drug called fezolinetant to see if it can reduce hot flashes in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy). About 60 men will take either the drug or a placebo daily for 4 weeks. Researchers will track hot flash frequency…

This study at the National Institutes of Health is looking at 1,000 adults with known or suspected hormone gland (endocrine) disorders. The goal is to better understand these conditions and help train doctors. Participants may receive tests, treatments, or surgery as part of thei…

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study follows up to 3,000 people who have, are at risk for, or are related to someone with a parathyroid disorder. Researchers will collect medical records, questionnaires, and samples like blood and saliva to learn what causes these conditions and how they change over time.…

This study aims to discover new genes that may cause certain cancers to run in families. Researchers will collect blood samples and health information from 1,500 people in families where multiple members have had cancer, especially childhood cancers. The goal is to build a regist…

This study looks at whether patient navigation—a service that helps people schedule and attend appointments—can increase the number of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who receive surgery. The study will enroll 76 people from historically marginalized groups and track ho…

This study examines stored tumor tissue and blood samples from 310 people with parathyroid tumors. Researchers aim to find molecular and genetic markers that can better distinguish between benign and cancerous tumors. The goal is to reduce misdiagnosis, unnecessary surgery, and s…

This study enrolls adults with known or suspected endocrine (hormone gland) disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, to help researchers learn more about these conditions. Participants will undergo medical exams, blood and imaging tests, and possibly genetic testing. The m…

This phase 2 study is collecting tumor samples from 839 people with hyperparathyroidism who are having parathyroid surgery. Researchers want to see if the genetic makeup of the tumors (whether they are monoclonal or polyclonal) relates to how many glands are affected and how well…

This study aims to validate a French version of the Parathyroid Assessment of Symptoms (PAS) questionnaire for people with primary hyperparathyroidism. Researchers will ask 548 patients to fill out the PAS.fr and a standard quality-of-life questionnaire before and after surgery. …

This study follows people with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease who have pancreatic tumors or cysts. The goal is to learn how these growths change over time and to see if a special type of scan (68-Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT) can find them better. Participants will have regular check…

This study is testing a tool called B-COMPASS that uses a 22-question survey to predict whether people will follow their prescribed treatments. Researchers will enroll 3100 adults with cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, nerve, cancer, or rare diseases across Europe. The goal is t…

This study uses two special scanners (HR-pQCT and pQCT) to take detailed pictures of bone and muscle in 1,000 people with conditions that raise the risk of bone loss, like osteoporosis, arthritis, or kidney disease. The goal is to see if these scanners can spot tiny changes in bo…

This study looks at how different forms of vitamin D work in the body. Researchers will measure free vitamin D (the active form) in healthy adults, pregnant women, and people with hormone or kidney problems. The goal is to see if free vitamin D gives a more accurate picture of vi…

This study looks at how cancer treatment impacts the work life and overall well-being of 400 men, ages 21 to 70, who have been newly diagnosed with solid tumors like colorectal, lung, or head and neck cancer. Participants will fill out questionnaires about their work hours, finan…

This study looks at whether removing the parathyroid gland can improve physical function and mobility in adults aged 60 and older with primary hyperparathyroidism. Researchers will track changes in walking, strength, and daily activity before and after surgery, and analyze blood …

This study follows 403 adults with primary hyperparathyroidism who are having their overactive parathyroid gland removed. Researchers will track heart problems, cholesterol, blood sugar, artery stiffness, and quality of life for up to 5 years after surgery. The goal is to underst…
