Adrenal cortex disorder

This trial compares two blood pressure targets in people with primary aldosteronism, a hormonal condition that causes high blood pressure. One group aims for a systolic pressure below 120 mmHg (intensive), the other between 120 and 140 mmHg (standard). Over 6 to 10 years, researc…

This study tests whether the drug metyrapone can safely lower cortisol levels in people with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), a condition where the adrenal glands produce too much cortisol. Participants will receive either metyrapone or a placebo for a short period, and…

This phase 2 trial tests a new drug called SAL0140 in 50 adults with primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, causing high blood pressure. Participants will receive either SAL0140 or a placebo for 12 weeks to see if it safely lowers b…

This study follows 100 adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) who switch from standard steroids to a timed-release hydrocortisone (Efmody). The goal is to see if better mimicking the body's natural cortisol rhythm improves hormone levels, metabolic health, and quality o…

This study looks at whether giving hydrocortisone for one month after adrenal gland removal can slow kidney function decline in patients with primary aldosteronism and chronic kidney disease. About 90 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either hydrocortisone or standard c…

This study tests an experimental drug called QLS1410 for people with primary aldosteronism, a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, causing high blood pressure. The trial will compare the drug to a placebo in 60 adults to see if it safely lowers blood pres…

This study tests a drug called crinecerfont in 20 children aged 3 months to 4 years with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and tolerable. Participants must already be on stable hydrocortisone treatment. The study is not yet recru…

This study tests a drug called osilodrostat in 63 adults with Cushing's syndrome and high blood pressure. The goal is to see if it can safely lower blood pressure by reducing cortisol levels. Participants will take the drug or a placebo for 30 weeks, with doses adjusted based on …

This study compares two strategies for slowly reducing prednisolone (a steroid) in people with stable rheumatoid arthritis. One method splits a 5 mg tablet into halves, the other reduces by 1 mg at a time. Over six months, 206 participants will be followed to see which approach k…

This study looks at whether giving radiation therapy after surgery can help prevent high-risk adrenocortical carcinoma from coming back. Fifty-eight patients who had their tumor completely removed will be randomly assigned to either receive radiation or just be monitored. The mai…

This study tests whether measuring certain hormones in a blood sample can accurately identify which patients with primary aldosteronism (a common cause of high blood pressure) have a curable adrenal tumor. Currently, diagnosis often requires an invasive procedure called adrenal v…

This study explores whether 8 weekly telehealth music therapy sessions can improve quality of life and reduce depression and anxiety in adults with autoimmune endocrine diseases (like Type 1 diabetes or Hashimoto's) who also have depression. Ten participants will meet with a boar…

This study tests a structured program to help 40 adolescents and young adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) move from pediatric to adult healthcare. Participants will learn about their condition, emergency preparedness, and self-management. The goal is to see if the p…

This study will look at 12 people having surgery to remove an adrenal gland (adrenalectomy) using robotic or laparoscopic methods. Some surgeries will use a green dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG) to help the surgeon see better, while others will not. The main goal is to track c…

This pilot study will test whether a personalized computer model, called a 'digital twin,' can predict which patients with high blood pressure will respond to a procedure called renal denervation. The study will enroll 60 people, including those with resistant hypertension, untre…

This study looks at whether fasting during Ramadan is safe for people with primary adrenal insufficiency, a condition where the adrenal glands don't make enough hormones. Researchers will monitor 35 patients for low blood sugar and dehydration during two weeks of fasting and two …

This observational study will follow 522 adults across Europe who are having surgery to remove an adrenal gland tumor. The goal is to track heart-related complications within 30 days after surgery and understand how different hospitals prepare patients beforehand. By collecting r…
