Adrenocortical insufficiency

This study looks at how the drug crinecerfont works in babies under 2 years old with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a condition where the body can't make certain hormones properly. The goal is to measure drug levels in the blood and check for side effects. Only 7 infants a…

This 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…

This study tests a drug called crinecerfont in adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a genetic condition that requires lifelong steroid treatment. The goal is to see if crinecerfont can safely reduce the daily steroid dose needed while keeping hormone levels u…

This early-phase trial tests a gene therapy called BBP-631 for classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a genetic condition that forces patients to take daily steroids. The therapy uses a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the faulty gene. Only 8 adults are enrolled…

This study tests a new device called the Nectero EAST System in 46 people with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The goal is to see if it is safe and can stop the aneurysm from growing, reducing the need for major surgery. Participants receive the device through a catheter, and d…

This phase 2 trial tests whether metyrapone, a drug that lowers cortisol production, is safe and effective for people with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). About 30 participants will take the drug for a period, and researchers will track side effects and cortisol levels…

This study offers voluntary screening for newborns in North Carolina to detect a wide range of rare health conditions early. Using a small blood sample already collected at birth, the program tests for dozens of disorders, including spinal muscular atrophy, cystic fibrosis, and m…

This study tests a new DNA-reading technology called ultra-long read sequencing to find hidden genetic changes that standard tests miss. Researchers will analyze blood samples from 15 patients with known or suspected genetic variants in difficult-to-read DNA regions. The goal is …

This study explores whether ultrasound and PET/CT scans can more accurately diagnose and monitor polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), a condition causing muscle pain and inflammation. Researchers will follow 98 adults over 50 suspected of having PMR, using imaging at key points during t…

This study tests whether a short, modified exposure therapy given soon after rape can prevent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in women. About 166 women who have experienced sexual assault will be randomly assigned to either the brief therapy or standard care. The goal is to…

This study aims to find genetic and metabolic markers that explain why some people develop diabetes, high blood pressure, or bone loss from glucocorticoids while others do not. Researchers will analyze blood and urine samples from up to 600 participants, including those with exce…

This study looks at how many people with Addison's disease still produce small amounts of adrenal hormones like cortisol, even years after diagnosis. Researchers will test 200 adults in Norway and Sweden using blood and urine samples. The goal is to see if this leftover function …

This pilot study aimed to see if a self-paced virtual education video could help adolescents and young adults (ages 16-22) with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) become more independent in managing their health. Participants would have been split into two groups: one watching …

This 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…
