Could a common drug replace surgery for pituitary tumors?
Disease control OngoingThis phase 3 trial tests whether cabergoline, a drug already used for hormone-producing pituitary tumors, can shrink or slow the growth of non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs). These tumors do not produce excess hormones, so current treatment is limited to surgery or radiat…

New scan could spot pituitary tumors more clearly
Diagnosis By invitation onlyThis 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…

New nerve block or drug: which eases pain after pituitary surgery?
Symptom relief OngoingThis 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…

How do patients feel after Nose-Based brain surgery? new study aims to find out
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis 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…

Pituitary patients followed for years to uncover key outcomes
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis 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…
