NCT ID NCT06450431
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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. The goal is to ensure the tool accurately measures how the condition and its treatment impact quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable French-language tool to measure how primary hyperparathyroidism affects quality of life and how surgery may help.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational validation study, not a treatment trial. It does not test a new therapy, so it will not directly improve patient outcomes.

Who is studied
The study population was all patients consulting for PHPT in the surgery department at Nantes University Hospital during the study period: In order to study the discriminant validity and specificity of the PAS.fr for PHPT, a control group consisting of euthyroid patients undergoing thyroidectomy for thyroid nodules will also be included.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with PHPT * Adult patients * Patients with PHPT, whether operated on or not, defined by a calcium level \> 2.60 mmol/L with inappropriate PTH (\> 15 pg/mL) or normal calcium with elevated PTH (\> 65 pg/mL) before surgery. * Consulting for PHPT surgery, or at 6, 12, or 36 months post-surgery. * Not opposed to participating in the study (questionnaires will be provided/sent with the study information sheet. If the patient returns the questionnaires, it will be considered that they are not opposed to participating in the study). 2. Control Patients * Adult patients * Patients consulting for thyroid surgery for benign thyroid nodules with normal thyroid function (serum TSH between 0.4 and 4.0 mIU/L) and no hypercalcemia (calcium ≤ 2.6 mmol/L), or seen in post-operative consultation following a cholecystectomy or appendectomy for simple appendicitis, who have not experienced post-operative complications * Not opposed to participating in the study (questionnaires will be provided/sent with the study information sheet. If the patient returns the questionnaires, it will be considered that they are not opposed to participating in the study). Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant women at the time of completing the questionnaires (the child's parathyroid glands can influence the mother's parathyroid status). * Minors or protected patients (under guardianship/curatorship). * Patients with secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism (defined by hypocalcemia \< 2.0 mmol/L with elevated PTH, or hypercalcemia with elevated PTH with a history of kidney transplantation, respectively).
