About this trial

This is a prospective three-year natural history study of adults with hypoparathyroidism. The goal is to monitor patients with hypoparathyroidism to define end-organ damage in the context of the disease.

The study objectives are to:

1. Build a prospective cohort of patients to study HPT-associated end-organ damage. 2. Determine end-organ physiologic consequences of HPT. 3. Elucidate determinants of HPT-associated end-organ damage.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

An understanding, ability and willingness to fully comply with study procedures and restrictions.

Ability to voluntarily provide written, signed and dated informed consent as applicable to participate in the study.

Male or female ≥18 years of age with HPT. All HPT sub-types are eligible, including surgical (HPT-S) and nonsurgical (HPT-NS) HPT: autoimmune, genetic (including but not limited to: DiGeorge syndrome, autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1, hypoparathyroidism sensorineural deafness and renal disease syndrome, Kearns-Sayre syndrome, mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes [MELAS] syndrome, mitochondrial trifunctional protein [MTP] deficiency syndrome, Kenny-Caffey syndrome, Sanjad-Sakati syndrome, autosomal dominant hypocalcemia), infiltrative (granulomatous), mineral deposition (copper, iron), metastatic, radiation and idiopathic HPT.

Diagnosis of HPT established based on historic hypocalcemia in the setting of inappropriately low serum PTH levels on two occasions.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Kidney function

blood test for changes in eGFR (in mL/min/1.73m\^2)

Time frame
baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 Months

Secondary outcomes

1

Kidney calcification

Changes in kidney calcification and stones will be assessed by abdominal CT in an optional imaging sub group. Results will be assessed and reported by a clinician.

Time frame
Baseline and 36 Months
2

Brain calcification

Changes in brain calcification will be assessed by head CT in an optional imaging sub-group. Results will be assessed and reported by a clinician.

Time frame
Baseline and 36 Months
3

Vascular calcification

Changes in vascular calcification will be assessed by leg arterial calcifications on high resolution quantitative computed tomography in all, and aortic calcifications on abdominal CT and vertebral fracture assessment by DXA in optional imaging sub-group

Time frame
Baseline and 36 Months
4

Bone mineral density

Changes in dual energy X-ray absorptiometry will be assessed in an optional imaging sub-group

Time frame
Baseline and 36 Months
