Hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition in which the parathyroid glands fail to produce sufficient amount of parathyroid hormone or the parathyroid hormone produced lacks biologic activity. The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is damage to or removal of the parathyroid glands due to neck surgery for another condition. Occurrence of hypercalciuria under treatment is a frequent concern in primary hypoparathyroidism, limiting correction of hypocalcemia.
Hypoparathyroidism can also be caused by an autoimmune process. In rare cases, hypoparathyroidism may occur as a genetic disorder inherited as an autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or X-linked recessive trait. The autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (ADH) is mainly caused by heterozygous activating mutations in the CASR gene encoding CaSR). As other severe presentation of primary hypothyroidism, ADH is characterized by the increased risk to develop hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis. The purpose of the study is to compare two therapeutic approaches in severe hypoparathyroidism in order to limit the risk of nephrocalcinosis and renal failure when attempting to correct hypocalcemia: rhPTH(1-34) vs association of active vitamin D and hydrochlorothiazide. The European Society of Endocrinology Clinical has indeed recently published guidelines for the treatment of chronic hypoparathyroidism in adults. These guidelines suggest considering treatment with a thiazide diuretic In a patient with hypercalciuria and replacement therapy with PTH in patients who do not stably and safely maintain their serum and urinary calcium in the target range.
The design consists in a five-periods, two-treatments, open-label, randomized, crossover study with blind end-point evaluation.
Patients will come for an inclusion visit and will receive treatment with 0.5 µg/day alfacalcidol for 4 weeks (28±3 days, run-in). They will be instructed to maintain dietary calcium intakes (1 g/day) for the duration of the study and will be supplemented throughout the study with native vitamin D in order to maintain the concentration of 25OH vitamin D ≥ 40 ng/L. Magnesium supplementation (100 mg/day) will be maintained throughout the study.
At inclusion, patients will be randomly assigned to receive at the end of run-in period, in cross-over either an association hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg/day (ESIDREX®) + amiloride 5 mg/day (MODAMIDE®) + 0.5 µg/day alfacalcidol (ALFACALCIDOL®) or 40 µg/day rhPTH(1-34) (teriparatide or FORSTEO® 20 µg twice daily) over 7 to 8 weeks (52±3 days).
After a washout period of 28±3 days under 0.5 µg alfacalcidol /day, the patients will follow the second period of treatment. The study will end with a final period of 28±3 days under 0.5 µg alfacalcidol /day. Patients will ambulatory monitor serum calcium, sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels at days 15 of run in and run out periods and at day 7 and day 28 of each treatment period.

Exclusion criteria :
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
