What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Collect and analyze outcome data on tumor control.

    Measured: When each patient has been followed for a minimum or 12 months and then again after 24 months to a maximum of 10 years.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Collect and analyze outcome data on normal tissue morbidity.

    Measured: When each patient has been followed for a minimum of 12 months and then again after 24 months to a maximum of 10 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pituitary Adenoma, run by University of Florida 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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Due to slow enrollment and feasibility issues.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Collect and analyze outcome data on tumor control. (time frame: When each patient has been followed for a minimum or 12 months and then again after 24 months to a maximum of 10 years.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00798057, which also lists 10 linked publications.

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 5 Oct 2015.
