Clinical trial for Graft Function
Official title Intramuscular Injection of Mashed Parathyroid Tissue Into a Forearm During Thyroid Surgery to Prevent Permanent Postoperative Parathyroid Insufficiency (IMIPAT Study)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07516990
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if injecting mashed parathyroid tissue into a forearm muscle is safe and can keep parathyroid hormone levels normal after thyroid surgery.
- Who it's for
- Adults who are having thyroid surgery and are at risk of permanent parathyroid insufficiency.
- What's involved
