Could a parathyroid transplant end daily calcium pills?

NCT ID NCT06961071

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether transplanting donated parathyroid tissue into the forearm can help people with hypoparathyroidism—a condition where the body doesn't make enough parathyroid hormone—achieve normal calcium and phosphorus levels. Three adults who have had low hormone levels for at least a year after surgery will receive the transplant and take immune-suppressing drugs to prevent rejection. The goal is to reduce or replace the need for daily calcium and vitamin D supplements, though lifelong medication may still be needed.
