AI and glucose monitors may predict surgery risks for rare tumors
NCT ID NCT07516275
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will enroll 200 patients scheduled for surgery to remove rare adrenal tumors called pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas (PPGL). Before surgery, researchers will use a model to predict the risk of severe blood pressure swings during the operation. During surgery, a real-time early warning tool will be tested to see if it can predict blood pressure changes 60 seconds ahead. The study also tests continuous glucose monitors and an AI agent for preoperative assessment, but does not change standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better prediction and real-time warning of dangerous blood pressure changes during surgery, making the operation safer for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The models may not be accurate enough to change practice, and results may not apply to other hospitals.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years. * Diagnosed with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma by imaging and laboratory tests and scheduled for elective resection. * Planned intraoperative continuous invasive arterial pressure monitoring. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent. * Able to comply with preoperative CGM monitoring, AI agent assessment, and postoperative follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Intraoperative hemodynamic data missing ≥20%. * Postoperative histopathology excludes PPGL diagnosis. * Cardiac paraganglioma or metastatic PPGL. * Severe cardiac disease (e.g., severe valvular disease, severe heart failure) that could independently cause intraoperative HDI. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Mental illness, cognitive impairment, or communication barriers that prevent compliance with study procedures. * Refusal to undergo CGM monitoring or AI agent assessment. * Major illness (e.g., acute myocardial infarction, stroke, severe infection) within 3 months prior to surgery. * Severe hepatic or renal insufficiency (Child-Pugh class C, eGFR \<30 ml/min/1.73 m²).
