New trial tests chemo combo to stop rare adrenal Cancer's return

NCT ID NCT03583710

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding chemotherapy (cisplatin and etoposide) to the standard drug mitotane after surgery works better than mitotane alone for patients with adrenocortical carcinoma at high risk of recurrence. The study plans to enroll 240 adults with stage I-III disease who had their tumor removed. The main goal is to see which approach delays or prevents the cancer from coming back.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

mitotane, cisplatin, etoposide

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that adding chemotherapy to mitotane after surgery reduces the chance of adrenocortical carcinoma coming back in high-risk patients.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial with only 240 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Chemotherapy adds significant side effects, and it's unclear if the combination is better than mitotane alone.
