Scientific titleTotal parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation and without thymectomy compared to total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation and with thymectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT): a randomised controlled multicentred pilot study
Study acronymTOPAR
Study objectivesTo compare different outcomes between total parathyroidectomy without autotransplantation and without thymectomy (TPTX) and total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation and with thymectomy (TPTX+AT) over a three year follow up period.

On 14/08/2013 Austria was removed from the countries of recruitment, the anticipated end date was changed from 01/05/2011 to 30/11/2013, and the sponsor was changed.

The previous sponsor for this trial (up to 14/08/2013) was:

Study Centre of the German Surgical Society (SDGC) (Germany)
Im Neuenheimer Feld 110
Heidelberg
69120
Germany

The current sponsor can be found in the sponsor section below.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee (Kommission für Ethik in der Ärztlichen Forschung des Klinikums der Philipps-Universität Marburg) on the 21st August 2006 (ref: 113/06).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSecondary hyperparathyroidism
InterventionGroup one: total parathyroidectomy without thymectomy and without autotransplantation (TPTX)
Group two: total parathyroidectomy with thymectomy and with autotransplantation (TPTX+AT)
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureFrequency of recurrent sHPT
Secondary outcome measures1. Intraoperative:
1.1. Duration of surgical procedure
1.2. Expertise of responsible surgeon (estimated number of parathyroidectomies performed)
1.3. Complications and findings (number of parathyroid glands found, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury)
2. Post-operative until discharge:
2.1. Frequency of persistent hyperparathyroidism
2.2. Morbidity (e.g. bleeding, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy)
2.3. Length of hospital stay
3. Discharge until 36 months follow up:
3.1. Frequency of recurrent sHPT
3.2. Frequency of autotransplantation due to refractory hypoparathyroidism
3.3. Frequency of reexploration of the neck or of the parathyroid autograft
3.4. Frequency of irreversible recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy
3.5. Follow up of clinical symptoms related to sHPT (change over time)
3.6. Change in quality of life
3.7. Death

Completion date30/11/2013
