Filter by:The goal of this pilot, open-label prospective study is to evaluate if the effect of calcium channel blockade on plasma aldosterone levels in people with primary aldosteronism (PA) is due primarily to Cav1.3 blockade. This will be tested by treating participants who have PA with both cinnarizine (Cav1.3 blocker) and nifedipine (Cav1.2 blocker) and evaluating effect on aldosterone levels and blood pressure over a two week course of treatment.
Sudden Cardiac Death is a leading cause of mortality and remains a major public health burden worldwide. Cardiac arrest due to coronary heart disease explains a large proportion of the cases, but if autopsy is not performed the exact underlying cause remains obscure in many adults who face sudden death outside heath care organizations. The investigators aim to find proof that primary aldosteronism is a risk factor for sudden death and to characterize the prevalence of adrenal pathology in sudden death of undetermined cause in a case-control study. In addition, the study aims to characterize the prevalence of other adrenal pathology i.e. silent adenomas, cortisol-producing adenomas and pheochromocytomas in sudden death. The investigators also seek evidence that other endocrine hormone overproduction-causing diseases are more prevalent in persons with sudden death compared with those experiencing traumatic or suicidal death sudden death.
This is a multicenter, open-label study in adult patients with PA to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CIN-107 after up to 12 weeks of treatment (Part 1), and then for eligible, consenting patients follow patients in Part 2 for up to 74 weeks for evidence of long-term safety and tolerability.
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.
