Parathyroid Allotransplant for Severe Refractory Hypoparathyroidism (NCT06499246)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Hypoparathyroidism following thyroid surgery presents significant challenges, often leading to debilitating symptoms and reduced quality of life despite conventional treatment. Having now reported the first successful case of a deceased donor fresh tissue parathyroid allotransplant with immunosuppression in a transplant-naive recipient, the purpose of this study is to further assess the safety and efficacy of this procedure in patients with severe intractable post-surgical hypoparathyroidism.
