New drug combo aims to tame Cushing's disease with fewer side effects
Disease control ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study tests whether adding cabergoline to osilodrostat works better than osilodrostat alone for controlling Cushing's disease. About 50 adults with active Cushing's disease will receive either the combination or the single drug. The goal is to see if the combo can lower cort…

AI boosts brain scan accuracy in massive new trial
Diagnosis ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study tests whether an AI tool can help radiologists read brain CT and MRI scans more accurately and quickly. Researchers will compare how well doctors, AI alone, and doctors using AI together can spot abnormalities, urgent findings, and classify diseases. The goal is to red…

New scan could replace invasive test for Cushing's disease diagnosis
Diagnosis ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study compares a new, non-invasive PET-MRI scan to the standard invasive test (IPSS) for finding pituitary tumors in people with Cushing's disease. About 43 adults with confirmed Cushing's will get both tests to see which is more accurate. The goal is to make diagnosis safer…

Pituitary patients followed for years to uncover key outcomes
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study follows 1500 patients with pituitary gland disorders to see how they fare over time, whether treated with medication, surgery, or just monitoring. Researchers will track tumor regrowth after surgery to find clues that predict recurrence. The goal is to learn, not to te…

Brain scans reveal hidden links between body diseases and metabolism
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study watches 200 people with lung, gut, or hormone diseases over time using special brain scans (PET). It aims to see how these diseases change brain activity and whether those changes can predict tumor return, spread, or survival. No new treatment is tested—just observatio…
