Parathyroid adenoma detection with rubidium-82 imaging
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses a new imaging agent, rubidium-82, to find parathyroid adenomas (benign tumors) that cause high calcium levels. It may help if you have primary hyperparathyroidism and a prior scan confirmed an adenoma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are able to undergo imaging procedures (e.g., lie still for a scan)
- You can provide informed consent
- You have blood test evidence of primary hyperparathyroidism
- You have a documented parathyroid adenoma from a previous 18F-fluorocholine scan

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 study tests two advanced imaging techniques (PET/MR and PET/CT) to find overactive parathyroid glands or tumors that need surgery. Participants get a special scan before surgery to help surgeons locate the problem more accurately.
This study compares a Sestamibi scan (with a special camera) versus a Fluorocholine scan (with PET/CT) to see which one better finds a suspected parathyroid adenoma. If your tests suggest a parathyroid problem but the first Sestamibi scan is negative or unclear, this trial may help answer the next best scan choice.
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.
This study looks at how well PET-CT scans can find thyroid or parathyroid problems. The trial uses scans that are already part of your regular care to learn more about these conditions.
This study tests whether a special PET scan (using a radioactive tracer called rubidium-82) can help doctors better understand how aggressive a kidney cancer is before surgery. If you have a medium-sized kidney tumor that looks like clear cell cancer and you are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
