The study evaluates the effect of theophylline in 100 subjects with Pseudohypoparathyroidism.
It is an open label intervention study for the off-label use of theophylline in psuedohypoparathyroidism (PHP).Theophylline is a is non-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor which increases the levels of secondary messenger,cAMP. PHP patients have end organ resistance to hormones involving cAMP signaling. Thus, theophylline has a potential to abrogate hormone resistance. Also, it may have a role in bone maturation, neurocognition and metabolism.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single arm open labeled intervention study | Experimental | Subjects with PHP will be given theophylline to decrease the end organ resistance by increasing levels of cAMP, a second messenger. Theophylline will be dosed twice a day for a period of 52 weeks. |
