Filter by:The primary aim of the study is to assess mortality and cardiovascular events potentially linked to cortisol excess in patients with adrenal incidentalomas stratified by cortisol values following the 1-mg overnight dexamethasone test.
Subclinical hypercortisolism (SH) is a status of asymptomatic hypercortisolism, frequently found in patients with adrenal adenomas (estimated prevalence: 0.8-2% after 60 years of age). Although SH may lead to diabetes, hypertension and osteoporosis, the diagnostic SH criteria and those suggesting the need of adrenalectomy are debated. Indeed, beside the cortisol secretion, the individual cortisol sensitivity may play a role in determining the SH consequences. Subjects with possible SH due to adrenal adenoma will be randomized to surgery/conservative follow up. The effects of surgery on the cardiovascular, bone, metabolic complications of SH and on neuropsychological aspects and quality of life (QoL) and the possibility to predict them by using cortisol sensitivity and secretion markers will be studied. The study may clarify how to individuate patients who can benefit from surgery. These results will help reducing the costs of both useless surgical operations and SH consequences.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy, and safety of relacorilant to treat hypercortisolism in patients with cortisol-secreting adrenal adenoma or hyperplasia associated with diabetes mellitus/ impaired glucose tolerance and/or uncontrolled systolic hypertension.
This is a prospective randomized controlled study comparing laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) versus image-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating aldosterone-producing adenoma. The objectives of this study are to 1. compare the short-term outcomes of LA and RFA in treating aldosterone-producing adenoma. 2. compare the treatment success rates of LA and RFA during follow-up for primary aldosteronism.
