Pituitary gland disorder

This study tracks the safety of the drug Samsca (tolvaptan) in 300 Japanese patients with low sodium levels caused by SIADH. Researchers will record any side effects or special situations that occur during routine use. The goal is to confirm the drug's safety in real-world settin…

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 an oral drug called paltusotine in 111 adults with acromegaly, a condition causing abnormal growth due to high hormone levels. Participants are not currently on other treatments. The main goal is to see if the drug safely lowers insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-…

This study tests an oral drug called paltusotine for people with acromegaly, a condition where the body makes too much growth hormone. Participants had their disease under control with standard injections and were randomly assigned to receive either paltusotine or a placebo. The …

This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of an oral medication called paltusotine for people with acromegaly, a condition where the body makes too much growth hormone. About 43 adults who finished a previous related study will take the drug and be monitored for …

This study follows 200 children in Japan with growth hormone deficiency who are taking Sogroya® (somapacitan) as part of their normal care. Researchers will monitor side effects and growth over 1 to 3 years to see how safe and effective the drug is in real-world use. Participants…

This study looks at the long-term safety of relacorilant, a drug for people with Cushing syndrome. It includes 125 adults who previously completed a relacorilant study and may benefit from continued treatment. Researchers will track side effects over time to see if the drug is sa…

This study compares the safety of routine telephone or video follow-ups versus in-person visits for patients with non-functioning pituitary tumors. Over two years, 812 participants will be randomly assigned to remote or in-person check-ups. The goal is to see if remote follow-up …

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 compares a new ultra-high resolution PET/CT scanner, the NeuroEXPLORER, with standard clinical PET/CT scanners for imaging the head and neck. Researchers aim to see if the new device provides more detailed images to improve diagnosis of conditions like dementia, Parkin…

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 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…

This 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…

This early-phase study tests a new radioactive tracer called [68Ga]Ga-NOTA-RF for PET scans in 30 people with pituitary tumors. The goal is to see if this tracer can better highlight tumors and help doctors tell different tumor types apart. Participants receive an injection of th…

This study aims to see if a simple, inexpensive saliva test can accurately diagnose Cushing's syndrome, a condition where the body makes too much cortisol. Researchers will compare two automated saliva test methods in 380 adults who are already being checked for the condition. Th…

This study compares two approaches—a nerve block and a sedative drug—to reduce pain and improve the surgical field during trans-nasal endoscopic pituitary surgery. About 69 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either a sphenopalatine ganglion block, dexmedetomidine, or sta…

This study was designed to look back at the health of people with Cushing's disease in Western France between 1990 and 2015. The goal was to find out how many patients went into remission and how many had their disease come back after their first surgery. However, the study was w…

This study follows 400 patients for two years after they have endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (surgery through the nose to reach the base of the skull). The goal is to measure their quality of life and nose function using standard questionnaires. It does not test a new tr…

This study follows 75 adults with benign or slow-growing brain tumors who are receiving partial brain radiation. Researchers will use memory tests and MRI scans before treatment and at 6 and 12 months after to see how radiation affects thinking and memory. The goal is to identify…

This phase 1 study tests a new PET imaging tracer called 89Zr-cRGDY in 17 people with malignant brain tumors or pituitary adenomas. The tracer is given in a very small dose to see how it spreads and clears from the body. The goal is to improve brain tumor imaging, not to treat th…

This 10-year observational study will follow 500 children with growth hormone deficiency who are receiving the once-weekly injection somapacitan as part of their routine care. Researchers will track side effects, medication errors, and new cases of cancer or type 2 diabetes. The …

This 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…

This study looks at 500 adults having pituitary tumor surgery through the nose. Researchers want to find out who gets headaches soon after surgery and build a tool to predict that risk. Participants report their pain daily and fill out surveys for up to 3 months after surgery.

This study surveys 530 prolactinoma patients and their doctors to understand real-world treatment experiences, side effects, and preferences. The goal is to identify gaps in care and guide future research for better, more personalized treatment strategies. No new treatments are t…

This study checks if a new version of cabergoline tablets works the same as the standard version in 72 healthy Chinese adults aged 18-45. Participants take one dose of each version under fasting or after a meal, with blood tests to measure drug levels. The goal is to confirm bioe…

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…
