Trial summary

The investigators hypothesize that positron emission tomography with fluorocholline (F18-choline PET) will reduce the proportion of unnecessary invasive surgery decisions and that the higher cost of positron emission tomography versus MIBI scintigraphy (Tc99m-sestaMIBI ) will be offset by lower cost in terms of type.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare, between each diagnostic strategy, the proportion of patients for whom the first-line imaging technique guided the surgical procedure wisely

    Measured: Up to 2 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Estimate the diagnostic performance of each strategy by measuring sensitivity and specificity

    Measured: Up to 2 months

  2. Evaluate post-surgical complications by measuring tne number of infections, hematoma

    Measured: Up to 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing MIBI scintigraphy and F18-choline PET in people with Parathyroid Adenoma and Hyperparathyroidism, run by Centre Francois Baclesse at 4 sites in France.

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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare, between each diagnostic strategy, the proportion of patients for whom the first-line imaging technique guided the surgical procedure wisely (time frame: Up to 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04040946, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 1 Aug 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
