Cushing disease due to pituitary adenoma

This study tests a new drug called Lu AG13909 in 18 adults with Cushing's disease, a rare condition where the body produces too much cortisol. The goal is to see if the drug can safely lower cortisol levels to normal. Participants will receive the drug through an IV or injection,…

This phase 2 trial tests fimepinostat, a drug that blocks two cancer-related pathways, in adults with Cushing disease caused by a pituitary tumor. The goal is to see if the drug can lower cortisol levels to normal within four weeks. The study compares two doses and includes patie…

This phase 2 trial tests seliciclib, an oral drug, in 13 adults with Cushing disease. The goal is to see if 4 weeks of treatment can lower high cortisol levels to normal or reduce them by at least half. Researchers will also monitor safety and check for changes in tumor size and …

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose Cushing's syndrome, a condition caused by too much cortisol. Researchers will test the accuracy of the desmopressin stimulation test in 140 people aged 18-70 who have or may have Cushing's, plus healthy volunteers. Participants will…

This study tests whether a special PET scan (FET PET/CT) can better locate small pituitary tumors that cause Cushing disease. About 50 adults with confirmed Cushing disease who are scheduled for pituitary surgery will receive the scan before their operation. The goal is to see if…

This study tests whether a special PET scan, combined with a drug called desmopressin, can find tiny pituitary tumors that standard MRI scans miss in people with Cushing's disease. About 22 participants will receive the drug and a radioactive tracer, then undergo imaging. The goa…

This study is testing whether a special PET scan using [18F]FET can better locate small pituitary tumors that cause Cushing's disease. Standard MRI misses these tumors in up to 30% of cases. Researchers will compare PET results with MRI and surgical findings in 20 adults to see i…

This early study tests a special PET/MRI scan using a radioactive tracer called FET to find small pituitary tumors that don't show up on regular MRI. The goal is to improve detection of these hormone-producing tumors in 5 adults with confirmed biochemical disease. If the scan wor…

This study tests a new ultrasound method to help surgeons find pituitary tumors during surgery. Researchers will compare ultrasound images with MRI scans to see if the new technique can better identify tumors in people with Cushing's disease and other pituitary tumors. About 110 …

This study looks at the long-term health of people who were cured of Cushing disease before age 21. Researchers want to understand how past high cortisol levels affect the body and mind years later. Participants will complete surveys and have check-ups every 5 years. The goal is …

This study aims to uncover the genetic causes of pituitary and hypothalamic tumors in children. Researchers will collect blood and tumor samples from up to 2,000 participants to analyze DNA and look for inherited patterns. The study also trains doctors and tests new MRI technique…

This study is not testing a new treatment. Instead, it follows 300 people aged 14 and older with Cushing's syndrome to collect data on their health before and after standard treatments like surgery, medication, or radiation. The goal is to build a registry that helps doctors unde…
