Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if your adrenal glands are normal or abnormal. This can be determined by whether or not your adrenal gland concentrates more of a labeled building block of adrenal hormone, norcholesterol. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to find out if your adrenal glands are normal or abnormal. This can be determined by whether or not your adrenal gland concentrates more of a labeled building block of adrenal hormone, norcholesterol. This labeled material had been used as an investigative diagnostic tool for imaging adrenal glands for many years with success in our hands. This is a diagnostic procedure. CT, MRI and Ultrasound can determine the size and presence or absence of tumor but cannot assess the function of the adrenal glands. To determine hormone concentrations from blood samples would involve more invasive catherization.

To investigate the feasibility of using NP-59 to localize adrenal tumors and assess their functions under the influence of pharmacological manipulations.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Imaging, Adrenal acansProcedure or surgery

    The patient will be given 5 drops of saturated solution of potassium iodide daily for 2 days prior to the study and will continue for 5 to 7 days later to minimize the radiation dose to the thyroid gland. One to 2 mCi of I 131 1,6-beta-iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol (NP-59) in 10% ethanol, 0.23% polysorbate 80 and 0.9% NaCl will be given intravenously slowly over 1-5 minutes. Anterior and posterior images of the adrenal area will be obtained 72 and 96 hours later. Additional images will be made if indicated. Each image would require 30 minutes carried out in the nuclear medicine laboratory. To verify the exact location of the adrenal glands, renal scan with 99m Tc DTPA or Mag 3 (routine nuclear medicine radiopharmaceuticals) will also be obtained whenever indicated. In some patients, dexamethasone suppression will be carried out to improve the specificity of NP 59 diagnosis for autonomous hormonal secretions by the adrenal tumors.

  • (NP-59)Radiation

    One to 2 mCi of I 131 1,6-beta-iodomethyl-19-norcholesterol (NP-59) in 10% ethanol, 0.23% polysorbate 80 and 0.9% NaCl will be given intravenously slowly over 1-5 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Imaging, Adrenal acans and (NP-59) in people with Adrenal Tumors and Adrenal Malignancies, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To investigate the feasibility of using NP-59 to localize adrenal tumors and assess their functions under the influence of pharmacological manipulations. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Dec 2015.
