Brief Title: Omission of Intact Parathyroid Hormone Testing During Surgery in Treating Patients With Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Official Title: Single-Arm, Non-inferiority Study of Omission of Intraoperative Intact Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) During Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Study ID: NCT03011736
Brief Summary: This clinical trial studies the omission of intact parathyroid hormone testing during surgery in treating patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Omission of intact parathyroid hormone testing during parathyroid gland removal may help patients with primary hyperparathyroidism to decrease their time under anesthesia, and decrease the overall time and cost of surgery.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the non-inferiority of omission of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients who meet the biochemical and radiological criteria compared to current standard of care (i.e. use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone testing). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Cost-analysis to determine savings of omission of intraoperative PTH testing. OUTLINE: Patients undergo standard minimally invasive parathyroidectomy without PTH testing during surgery. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 2 weeks.
