Testing PTeye for parathyroid adenoma surgery
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a device called PTeye, which helps doctors find parathyroid adenomas during surgery more precisely. It may reduce the need for more tests or repeat surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have primary hyperparathyroidism caused by an adenoma (a small, noncancerous growth).
- You have given your consent to join the study.
- You have not had any previous neck surgery or a repeat surgery for this type of growth.
- You are not taking part in another study that might interfere with this one.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new sensor tool that helps surgeons check if a parathyroid gland is healthy during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. It may help doctors decide whether to remove or save the gland, improving outcomes.
This trial tests a special device called PTEye that doctors use during thyroid surgery to help avoid accidentally removing small parathyroid glands (which control calcium levels). It may help you keep those important glands safe.
This study compares a new device (PTeye) with the standard way of removing the entire thyroid gland (total thyroidectomy). It aims to see if the device helps protect the tiny glands that control calcium levels, so you may have fewer calcium problems after surgery.
This trial tests whether a device called PTeye helps surgeons better identify and protect the parathyroid glands during first-time total thyroid removal surgery, compared to relying on the surgeon's eyes alone.
This trial tests whether a special camera (autofluorescence) can help surgeons find abnormal parathyroid glands during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. It involves exploratory surgery, not a focused approach, and may help improve surgical success.
This trial tests a special PET scan to better locate overactive parathyroid glands before surgery. It may help guide treatment for people with primary hyperparathyroidism.
