Filter by:Background: The adrenal glands are 2 small organs that sit on top of each kidney. They release hormones; these are chemicals that control how the body works. Tumors on or outside the adrenal glands are called functional if they release hormones; they are called nonfunctional if they do not. Doctors who treat adrenal tumors need to know which type a person has. Researchers want to find better ways to learn whether an adrenal tumor is functional. Objective: To see if a new radioactive tracer ([68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor) can make it easier to identify functional adrenal tumors with positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with 1 or more adrenal tumors. They must have increased levels of the hormones aldosterone or cortisol. They must also be enrolled in at least 1 other related NIH study (protocols 19-DK-0066, 18-CH-0031, or 09-C-0242). Design: Participants will be screened. They may have imaging scans. Their ability to perform normal activities will be reviewed. Participants will have one PET scan with the study tracer. The tracer will be given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. Participants will receive the tracer 1 hour before the scan. They will lie still on a bed while a machine captures images of the inside of their body. The scan will take 45 to 90 minutes. Participants heart rate, blood pressure, and rate of breathing will be checked before, during, and after the scan. Participants will have a follow-up visit 3 days after their scan. This visit can be by phone, email, or in person.
This is a Phase 4 study with 2 parts: Part 1 (Prevalence Phase) is non-interventional and will assess the prevalence of hypercortisolism in a population with difficult to control type 2 diabetes (T2D) (hemoglobin A1c ≥7.5%) despite receiving standard-of-care therapies. Part 2 (Treatment Phase) is a randomized, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind multi-center trial that will assess the safety and efficacy of mifepristone treatment in patients with hypercortisolism who have difficult to control T2D despite receiving standard of care therapies.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate, between patients with arterial hypertension and non hypertensive control group, - the prevalence of hidden hypercortisolism - the relationship between organ damage and oxidative stress level, cortisol secretion degree, sensitivity and peripheral activity
In this study, the investigators will perform endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) treatment of left-sided adrenal tumours in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Four different study groups will all receive EUS-RFA of left-sided adrenal tumours. Clinical and biochemical outcome as well as procedural safety will be evaluated. In study patients with verified lateralised aldosterone or cortisol overproduction to the left adrenal, outcome will be compared with control groups performing conventional unilateral adrenalectomy. Study group 1: PA patients with AVS-verified left sided lateralisation and a EUS-detectable tumour in the left adrenal for EUS-RFA treatment. Study group 2: PA patient with suspected left-sided overweight of aldosterone production and a EUS-detectable tumour but without strict lateralisation of their aldosterone overproduction, for EUS-RFA treatment as an aldosterone "debulking" procedure. Study group 3: patients with MACS with AVS-verified lateralisation of cortisol overproduction to the left adrenal and EUS-detectable tumour for EUS-RFA treatment Study group 4: patients with MACS with bilateral adrenal tumours and verified bilateral overproduction of cortisol for EUS-RFA treatment as a cortisol "debulking" procedure.
The aims of the present study are to evaluate in patients with mild hypercortisolism the effect of metyrapone treatment on glycometabolic control, blood pressure, thrombotic risk parameters, lipid profile, bone turnover markers, mental health and cortisol circadian rhythm.
This cross-sectional, single-center study will assess the microvascular function using a nailfold video-capillaroscopy in patients with endogenous Cushing syndrome.
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.
The investigators hypothesize that cardiovascular and metabolic alterations can occur in patients with adrenal adenomas and possible Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (pACS). Investigators hypothesize that adrenalectomy in selected patients, following the 2016 ECE guidelines, can improve metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risks and features.
Salivary cortisol is used as a diagnostic analysis in the investigation of suspected Cushings' syndrome. This study evaluates if liqourice intake increases salivary cortisol in healthy individuals. Late night salivary cortisol and cortisone is analysed before, during and after 7 days of liqourice intake in three different doses.
This retrospective, multi-center, chart review study will collect patient data from medical charts of pediatric patients who have been treated with Korlym for Cushing's syndrome.
