Parathyroid Allotransplant for Hypoparathyroidism
(PATTH Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study is being done to see if transplanting parathyroid tissue into the forearm will help hypo-parathyroid patients achieve parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels that would help normalize their serum calcium and phosphorus levels. The parathyroid tissue used in this study will come from cadaveric tissues that were donated at the time of the death of the donor(s).
