Pheochromocytoma

This study tests whether adding olaparib to the standard chemotherapy temozolomide helps control advanced pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma—rare neuroendocrine tumors that have spread or can't be removed surgically. About 46 adults with these cancers will be randomly assigned to …

This phase 2 trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, talazoparib and temozolomide, can shrink tumors in people with rare cancers that have spread. The study includes 14 participants with advanced rare solid tumors, such as pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, who have …

This phase 2 study tests two drugs, sunitinib and temsirolimus, in 137 people with advanced rare tumors that have no cure. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors or slow their growth. Participants take one of the two drugs, and researchers measure how long the cancer…

This study tested a drug called pembrolizumab in 157 people with rare cancers that had spread or couldn't be removed. The drug works by helping the body's immune system attack the cancer. The main goal was to see how many patients were alive and their cancer hadn't grown after 27…

This study tests a drug called tipifarnib in children and young adults (ages 1 to 21) whose cancers have a specific change in the HRAS gene. The cancers are advanced or have come back after treatment. The goal is to see if tipifarnib can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. A…

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs, nivolumab and ipilimumab, in 798 people with over 50 types of rare cancers. The goal is to see if these drugs can shrink tumors by helping the immune system attack cancer cells. Participants receive the drugs…

This study tests a drug called lanreotide in 10 people with advanced or metastatic paraganglioma or pheochromocytoma, rare tumors that release hormones. The goal is to see if lanreotide can slow tumor growth compared to before treatment. Participants receive injections every 4 we…

This phase II trial tests the drug axitinib in 6 adults with metastatic or inoperable pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, rare tumors of the adrenal glands or nerve tissue. Axitinib works by blocking blood vessel growth that feeds tumors. The main goal is to see how many patients'…

This study is testing a radioactive drug called Lutathera in teenagers aged 12 to 17 who have rare tumors of the digestive system or adrenal glands. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how much radiation reaches organs. Eleven teens are taking part, and researchers are wat…

This study tests a new radioactive tracer called 18F-DA for PET scans to see if it can find neuroblastoma and pheochromocytoma tumors more clearly than the current tracer. About 20 children and adults with known or suspected tumors will receive the tracer and be monitored for sid…

This study tests whether a new type of PET/CT scan, using a radioactive tracer called 68Ga-DOTATOC, can find neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and similar tumors more safely and accurately than current imaging methods. About 800 people with known or suspected NETs will receive the sca…

This study compares three different PET/CT scans (68Ga-HA-DOTATATE, 18F-DOPA, and 18F-FDG) in 50 people with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. The goal is to see if all tumors show up on the standard scan or if some are missed, which could change treatment. Participants will get …

This study follows children and adults with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), often linked to a genetic condition called MEN2. Researchers will track how the cancer grows and affects health over time using regular check-ups, blood tests, and imaging. No treatment is given, but part…

This study looks at people with rare adrenal tumors (pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas) that do not produce excess hormones. Researchers want to see if these 'silent' tumors still cause heart problems, blood pressure changes, or metabolic issues like diabetes and high choleste…

This study follows 150 patients with functional adrenal tumors to see how their heart and blood pressure change before and after surgery. Researchers will use heart ultrasounds and blood pressure monitoring to understand recovery and risks. The goal is to help doctors choose bett…
