About this study

Official title: Localization of Parathyroid Adenoma by Fluorocholine Positron Emission Tomography/MRI (PET/MRI): A Prospective Pilot Study

A comparative prospective study to evaluate different imaging modalities (pet-ct and pet-mr) prior to surgery in parathyroid tumor patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients with Hyperthyroidism and surgery indication will be recruited and directed to imagine exams. in addition to the conservative 99mTc-MIBI (methoxyisobutylisonitrile) and US, patients will also undergo 18FCH (¹⁸F-choline) PET/MRI for detecting adenomas and their location. imaging experts will decode the imaging exams. sensitivity and specificity of the exams will be examined.

Being tested
PET-MR, PET-CT
Keywords
Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MR), Hyperthyroidism, Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adenomas size and location

    Location of adenomas by a report analyzing the pathological examination (PET-CT/PET-MR output).

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Parathyroid hormone levels

    approval late addition level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) before and during the course of the operation after the conclusion of adenomas (Hormone levels).

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Chronic disease duration

    time from chronic diseases indication and duration of symptoms measured in months (from the medical records).

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Disease related medication consumption

    Disease related medication consumption measured in miligram (mg) for each medication (from medical records).

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET-MR and PET-CT in people with Primary Hyperthyroidism, run by Assuta Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Avi Hefetz, MD (972528661361, avihef1@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adenomas size and location (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jul 2016.
