View clinical trials related to Pheochromocytoma.
Filter by:Pheochromocytomas are tumors of the adrenal gland that develop from cells producing adrenaline and noradrenaline. Consequently, intraoperative blood pressure variations (hypertensive and hypotensive episodes) are characteristic of pheochromocytoma surgery, when these tumors are removed. However, recommendations for the management of these tumors are based on data essentially dating from the 1960s-1990s. Since then, anesthesia and surgery for patients with pheochromocytoma have evolved considerably, and have become more effective with time. In these circumstances, a review of the current situation is necessary. The aim of this study is to investigate the intraoperative hemodynamic changes observed in patients undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma, comparing them with the hemodynamic profile observed in patients undergoing adrenal surgery for a pathology other than pheochromocytoma (control group).
The goal of this multicenter, observational, analytic, randomized clinical trial is to analyze the laparoscopic and robot-assisted method in the surgical treatment of patients with adrenal diseases. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. to find the superiority of one the the surgical method mentioned above 2. to compare the quality of life in patients with adrenal mass before surgery and after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted adrenalectomy.
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) may be recommended in G1- G2 GEP-NET patients with disease progression on somatostatine analogues therapy (LUTATHERA®). However, there are several diseases, including neuroendocrine neoplasia not originating from the digestive tract, for which the efficacy of PRRT has already been demonstrated, but which are not currently within the indications of LUTATHERA and therefore cannot benefit from it (i.e. bronchopulmonary, ovarian, renal NETs and neuroendocrine carcinomas). Moreover, the role of PRRT is also accepted in Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), Meningiomas, but also as a salvage therapy in pre-treated NET pts, and other SSTR-positive malignancies (Lymphomas, Gliomas…). Least explored among radiopharmaceuticals for SSTR-positive tumors is 177Lu-DOTATOC. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of lutetium (177Lu) edotreotide (Lu-Dotatoc) on all the above-mentioned diseases that could benefit from receptor radionuclide therapy. We believe that this study, which will involve only patients outside the indication of LUTATHERA, will expand the current knowledge of radionuclide receptor therapy with 177Lu- DOTATOC, particularly with regard to objective response and safety parameters, and may consolidate its in the management of these diseases.
The investigators planned this study to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine administration on intraoperative hemodynamic stability in patients with pheochromocytoma.
Anlotinib is a multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting tumor angiogenesis and growth. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of contrast enhanced ultrasound in assessing effectiveness of anlotinib in patients with locally advanced, metastatic, or unresectable pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma(PPGL).
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are chromaffin cells-derived tomours that originate from the adrenal medulla (80~85%) and the extra-adrenal sympathetic paraganglia in thorax, abdomen and pelvis (15~20%) or parasympathetic paraganglia in the head and neck region (~1%), respectively. Functional imaging, such as 123I-Meta-Iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy with single photon emission computed tomography with a CT (SPECT/CT), offers high specificity for PPGL but necessitates 24-hour delayed imaging, pre-processing thyroid protection with a potassium iodide solution, and medication reconciliation to prevent the inhibition of 123I-MIBG uptake. Conversely, 18F-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (FDOPA), a radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, is specifically absorbed and accumulated by chromaffin cells, offering better image quality and convenience compared to 123I-MIBG scintigraphy. 18F-FDOPA PET/CT has been approved for the localization, staging, and detection of PPGL recurrences in European and other countries. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare prospectively the diagnostic performances of 18F-FDOPA PET/CT and 123I-MIBG scintigraphy with SPECT/CT in patients with PPGL.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a new drug, HTL0039732, that will be administered on its own (as a monotherapy) and in combination with atezolizumab or with other approved anti-cancer therapies, in participants with advanced solid tumours.
Metastatic pheochromocytoma / paraganglioma (MPP) are rare while the prognosis was poor. Penpulimab is specifically an immune check-point inhibitor of PD1 and has been approved for the treatment of several malignancies.This phase II trial studies the efficacy and safety of penpulimab in the treatment of MPP patients who fail to other systemic therapy.
This phase II trial studies the effectiveness oftemozolomide in the neoadjuvant therapy oflocally advanced,or unresectable pheochromocytoma or paragangliom(PPGL). Temozolomide (TMZ) is a novel oral alkylation chemotherapeutic agent. Inthisstudy,temozolomidewill be used preoperatively in order to change unresectable tumors to resectable and reduce the high risk of surgery.
This phase II trial studies the effectiveness of anlotinib hydrochloride in the neoadjuvant therapy of locally advanced, or unresectable pheochromocytoma or paragangliom(PPGL). Anrotinib is used preoperatively in order to change unresectable tumors to resectable and reduce the high risk of surgery.
