Massive study aims to unlock secrets of parathyroid diseases
NCT ID NCT04969926
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
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. The goal is to find biomarkers and better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.
