Filter by:This is a multi-centre, observational, non-comparative, retrospective cohort study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of osilodrostat in non-CD CS patients. Patients treated with oral osilodrostat regardless of the duration of their treatment will be followed retrospectively for up to 36 months after initiating osilodrostat.
In this study, we aimed to determine a specific cut-off value for 1mg DST to prevent false positivity usually seen in CRF patients according to the standard cut-off value of 1.8 mcg/dl.
Purpose of this clinical phase 1 trial was to determine if para-chloro-2-[18F]fluoroethyletomidate positron emission computed tomography ([18F]CETO-positron emission computed tomography(PET)/computed tomography(CT)) can be used in diagnostics of adrenal tumors and if the biochemical/pharmacological states conditions in humans with various illnesses, compared to healthy humans, such as the radio tracer is suitable?
The primary objective is to determine the effect of relacorilant on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the sensitive P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate dabigatran etexilate.
Within this trial, the cardiovascular and mental status as well as the metabolic profiles of patients with endogenous cortisol excess are evaluated.
This proposal will evaluate the glucocorticoid mediated changes in body fat distribution and metabolism that occur in patients with Cushing's disease. The objective is to identify the mechanisms that influence both the accumulation of lipodystrophic fat and also the changes in energy expenditure and metabolism that accompany them. The study is designed to determine if the high cortisol and AgRP levels in the blood of people living with Cushing's syndrome, either from taking steroid medications or from tumors, impact body fat and metabolism by turning off brown fat, which is a type of fat that increases one's metabolism.
This is a long-term, open-label extension study of levoketoconazole in subjects with endogenous Cushing's Syndrome.
Hypercortisolism leads to long term physical and cognitive sequelae. This also holds true for quality of life, even several years after remission. This altered quality of life, highly subjective, is however, badly evaluated by the family of the patient. This could lead to misunderstanding, avec worsen the general physical and mental health of the patient. To our knowledge, this theoretical difference of perception has never been evaluated up to now. The aim of our study is to evaluate the difference of perception of the quality of life and body image between patients in remission of hypercortisolism, and their caregivers. Secondary objectives will be to evaluate the quality of life of the caregivers, the coping strategies, and the depression/anxiety parameters of both the patient and the caregiver. Patients and methods: the study is Observative, prospective and non-randomized. Inclusion criteria will be patients, aged more than 18, with hypercortisolism in remission for at least 1 year. Self-questionnaires on quality of life, body image, coping, depression and anxiety will be provided to the patient and his/her caregiver. Fulfilling will be blind between the patient and his/her caregiver. Inclusion period will be 12 months. Results will be compared between the patient and his/her caregiver. Expected results: investigators anticipate that some caregivers will have a different perception of the general physical and mental condition as stated by the patient. The first time that the quality of life of the caregiver would be also altered. This original project might lead to modify the management of Cushing's syndrome, by considering both the patient and his/her caregiver on a long term basis after remission.
Glucocorticoids are widely used for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. Although glucocorticoids are effective in controlling disease symptoms, continuous use of the drugs can lead to suppression of adrenal hormones or excessive cortisol level in the blood stream. That is, excess blood cortisol level due to glucocorticoid exogenous supply can either inhibit the 'hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis' for adrenal hormones production or result in Cushing symptoms. In the period between 1989 and 2008 in the UK, it was estimated that 0.6%-0.8% of the general adult population were long-term users of oral glucocorticoids. However, there is no data on the risk of adrenal suppression and Cushing syndrome due to chronic use of glucocorticoids in the UK to date. The aim of the study is to investigate the risk of adrenal insufficiency and Cushing syndrome due to long-term use of glucocorticoids in England.
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled withdrawal and rescue/restoration study in subjects with endogenous Cushing's Syndrome (CS) previously treated with single-arm, open-label levoketoconazole that will assess efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of levoketoconazole.
