This study tested a procedure called radiofrequency ablation, which uses heat to destroy a small adrenal gland tumor that causes high blood pressure. Researchers wanted to see if it could safely lower blood pressure in 31 patients with primary aldosteronism. The goal was to reduc…

This study tested an experimental drug called SPI-62 in 26 adults with Cushing's syndrome caused by a non-adrenal tumor. The goal was to see if SPI-62 could lower cortisol levels safely. Participants received either SPI-62 or a placebo for 24 weeks, with an option to continue lon…

This Phase 3 trial tested a drug called relacorilant in 137 people with hypercortisolism caused by adrenal adenomas or hyperplasia. The goal was to see if it could improve blood sugar control and lower high blood pressure. Participants received either relacorilant or a placebo fo…
