NCT ID NCT00568139
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 400 people with adrenocortical carcinoma who are taking mitotane as their first treatment. The goal is to carefully record all side effects, including ones that are not well understood. By collecting this data, researchers hope to improve how side effects are managed in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mitotane
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide clearer information on mitotane's side effects, helping doctors manage treatment better.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. It only documents known side effects, so it won't improve outcomes directly.
